Description

Eat Just is on a mission to build a healthier, safer, and more sustainable food system—starting with what’s on your plate. From pioneering plant-based eggs to making real meat without slaughter, we’re reimagining the future of food in ways that are better for people and the planet. We’re a lean, passionate team of scientists, chefs, engineers, and operators who believe that doing hard things well can make a meaningful difference. We’ve brought groundbreaking innovations to market, like Just Egg and GOOD Meat, and we’re just getting started. If you’re excited by big challenges, real impact, and the chance to shape what the future tastes like—we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Do Drive Foodservice Growth: Build and manage a healthy regional pipeline through a mix of inbound and outbound activity—research, outreach, digital campaigns, and lead qualification. Create High-Impact Outreach: Craft engaging, personalized written communications that convert cold leads into warm conversations. Own the Sales Cycle: Lead the full sales process—from prospecting and pitching to closing and onboarding—across a range of operators, distributors, and brokers. Leverage Data & Systems: Track performance through CRM tools and dashboards; analyze conversion data to refine outreach strategies and targeting. Relationship Building: Build relationships with key decision-makers, understand procurement cycles, and partner with distributors and redistributors (e.g., DOT Foods) to ensure product availability. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with marketing, culinary, and operations to align on menu integrations, promotions, and regional activations. Forecasting & Reporting: Maintain accurate sales forecasts, weekly reports, and insights to support business decisions and leadership visibility. Broker Management: Assist with hiring regional brokers. Support, train, collaborate with, and manage brokers in designated region. What You’ll Bring 5+ years of relevant experience in foodservice sales; bonus for experience in plant-based, better-for-you, or sustainable food categories. Strong digital and written communication skills—you’re as comfortable crafting persuasive outreach emails as you are presenting in person. Data-driven mindset with comfort in CRM systems, Excel/Sheets, and sales analytics; experience with tools like FirstBite, HubSpot, Salesforce, or Airtable a plus. Track record of building relationships with operators, distributors, and partners that translate into long-term business growth. Analytical acumen: Ability to interpret sales trends and turn insights into action. Relentless drive to win: You thrive on closing deals and outpacing targets. You’re creative and scrappy in finding new ways to get our products in front of customers and won’t stop until the deal is done. Collaborative spirit—works seamlessly across internal teams and external stakeholders. Passion for sustainable, plant-based, and forward-thinking food innovation. Willingness to travel regionally up to 30%. The Perks We develop our salaries using market data, internal benchmarks, and candidate experience to ensure fairness and competitiveness.
