"With my Swiss background, chocolate and a Swiss chocolate brand such as Lindt is truly special and chocolate has been a passion and career of mine for close to three decades, two decades of which with Lindt.

As one of only a small select group of Lindt Master Chocolatiers globally, there have been many highlights during my career at Lindt such as the opening of the world’s first Lindt Café in Sydney,  filming a TV advert with Roger Federer, seeing a product that started in my test kitchen come to life and appear on shelves all around the country.. Lindt truly is global family and working with colleagues in various roles from all around the globe within the business is rewarding all whilst working towards the common goal of enchanting the world with fine chocolate."

Matt - Demand Planner

"I’ve been working for Lindt since 2017 and during that time, I’ve been lucky enough to be able to work across 3 different departments.

I spent my first 12 months as Business Process Assistant in the Retail team. I was then given an opportunity to work in the newly created role as Integrated Supply Planner, working in the Sales Team on the Woolworths account. My first two roles really gave me the experience and knowledge to succeed in my current role, as Demand Planner in our Operations team.

I really enjoy working on the most premium chocolate brand with an amazing team, who are all working hard to achieve the same goal, Enchanting the World with Chocolate"
