Job Description
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.
OVERVIEW At Beyond Meat, we are focused on raising the bar on talent. We are dedicated to shaping an inclusive culture that drives excellence, innovation, and results by enabling talent acceleration and development, engagement, and the employee experience. The Senior Brand Manager will develop and execute the local brand strategy with development of all related activities and assets. The Brand Manager will be working closely with local Sales Director Retail & Food Service and Field Manager to develop DE specific strategy and execution. You will play an important role in leveraging best practices and learnings from the EMEA and US market. We are looking for an amazing and ambitious marketing professional, with a can-do mentality and the ability to multitask in a highly energetic entrepreneurial environment. An independent self-starter who has experience working in an international organization. We are looking for professionals that have an affinity with this new world of food and are a strong team player with a result driven attitude.
