About the job
As the Food Sustainability Program Manager, you will forge strong relationships and collaborate with both local and international food enterprises, including restaurant chains, caterers, retailers, hospitality groups, and packaged goods companies, to promote the integration of sustainable foods, particularly plant-based ingredients, into their supply chains.
With an increasing number of organizations worldwide adopting plant-based food initiatives as part of their sustainability efforts, major players in the hospitality, food service, and retail industries are beginning to offer plant-based alternatives to mitigate their environmental impact. This transition is driven by rising consumer demand for sustainable and ethical food choices, alongside companies' commitments to meet Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals.
In your role at Lever Foundation, you will play a key part in educating companies about the sustainability, animal welfare, and economic advantages of transitioning their supply chains. You will deliver industry insights, connect businesses with potential suppliers, and furnish them with resources to facilitate their understanding and progress on this critical issue. Your responsibilities will include conducting online research, crafting and sending emails, making calls, and organizing visits and meetings with various food companies.
This position offers the flexibility to work from home, with highly adaptable hours. You will collaborate with a supportive team across Asia, Europe, and the US, maintaining close communication through calls, emails, and messages.
This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with major food corporations on corporate sustainability initiatives, with potential for advancement into managerial or other roles.
