This role blends culinary creativity with hands-on sales support, as you will be working directly with our sales team to conduct product demos, engage with chefs, and drive adoption of our products in the foodservice industry. Additionally, you will play a key role in developing and testing new recipes, including appetizers and other innovative dishes, as well as supporting product development and ingredient sourcing.

Key Responsibilities:

• Travel to customer locations (locally) to showcase our products and build strong relationships within the industry.
• Adapt to a fast-paced and evolving startup environment, embracing flexibility and new challenges as they arise.
• Work cross-functionally with marketing and product teams to provide insights from the field and enhance product positioning.

• You are comfortable in a sales-adjacent role and enjoy interacting with chefs and foodservice professionals.
• You have a valid driver's license and reliable car to visit clients in the region.

• You thrive in a startup environment where things are constantly evolving, and you don’t need micromanagement to stay motivated.
• You are adaptable, resourceful, and ready to pivot when necessary.
• You are excited about working with a mission-driven company and contributing to the growth of plant-based foods in foodservice.
• You are based in the Boston area and willing to come into the office regularly (several times a week).

What We Offer:
