Job Description
Impossible Foods is addressing the most catastrophic threats facing humanity: climate change and biodiversity collapse. A global transition to a plant-based food system will turn back the clock on atmospheric CO2 levels, restore natural ecosystems and reverse meltdown in wildlife biomass.
The easiest -- if not only -- way to make our civilization sustainable is to eliminate livestock, the most dangerous technology on Earth. But humans won’t give up meat. So we need to make meat better -- more delicious and more nutritious, without animals as the underlying production technology. That means that making meat sustainably is the most important and urgent problem for the global scientific community.
Impossible Foods' mission is to completely replace the use of animals as a food-production technology by offering consumers everything they currently value about animal products -- and making products that are vastly superior to their animal analogues.
To do this, we are taking a revolutionary scientific and market-based approach. We are inventing efficient, sustainable ways to transform ingredients from plants into meat, fish and dairy foods that deliver all the pleasures and nutritional benefits consumers demand, without the destructive environmental or public health impact.
Our world-class R&D team has been building the know-how and technology platform to produce meat, fish and dairy foods from plants. Impossible Foods is experiencing rapid growth and is resolutely committed to leading all aspects of the plant-based food revolution—from discovery to commercial production. The only thing that will separate Impossible Foods from success and failure is our ability to recruit more world-class experts.

Impossible Foods is looking for a 100% mission-aligned internal content strategist as part of its Internal Communications team.
In this position, you will play a critical role in both developing and executing internal communications strategies and materials. You will work closely with internal stakeholders to directly manage our regular cadence of news and updates for employees, including executive memos, company policies, and operational updates. You will drive the strategy and implementation of the company’s internal intranet, bringing it to life as a hub for Impossible news, content and culture for employees.
The role requires an articulate writer who can distill details on super tight deadlines. A large portion of this person’s time will be spent writing, editing, reviewing, and iterating on content. The role will also require a strong technical agility, as this person will manage content across our web-based internal intranet, Jive, in close partnership with IT.
The ideal candidate will blend strategic thinking with tactical execution to ensure that employees are well-informed and understand the issues affecting themselves and the company. He/she/they should be a natural project manager that can rapidly coordinate feedback across numerous internal stakeholders and build policies and content from the ground up.
