Field Marketing Team Lead

COMPANY DESCRIPTION
At Beyond Meat, we started with simple questions. Why do you need an animal to create meat? Why can’t you build meat directly from plants? Thus, we make plant-based meats that allow families to eat more, not less, of the traditional dishes they love while feeling great about the health, sustainability, and animal welfare benefits of plant protein. Our goal is to bring exciting change to the plate—and Beyond.
The Team Lead will play an influential role within the Beyond Meat Field Marketing (RFMM) Team, helping to promote the Beyond Burger, Beyond Sausage, and Beyond Beef. At Beyond Meat, we have learned that “Tasting is Believing” when it comes to our products, and sampling is our best vehicle to win consumers. The objective of the Team Lead is to assist the Regional Field Marketing Manager in building grassroots consumer buzz and excitement for The Beyond Meat brand with a great product / brand experience. 
The Team Lead’s primary role will be to conduct demos, activate at events on a food truck and/or kitchen space, and provide the RFMM with administrative support. This position will be responsible for helping coordinate marketing activities within the designated market.
