About our Organisation

ProVeg International works to normalise and advance the protein transition and adoption of plant-rich diets through influencing the food industry, with the end goal of transforming the food selection in supermarkets and on menus to be more in line with healthy, sustainable diets.

About the Opportunity

Working closely with the Director of Partnerships and Institutional Engagement, you will build a strategy to encourage pre-competitive collaboration between food companies to drive forward progress on the protein transition. You will be responsible for cultivating relationships with UK food companies (particularly retailers and foodservice providers), positioning ProVeg as a trusted partner, strategy adviser and solutions provider on healthy, sustainable diets and protein diversification. You will also own and maintain our International Corporate Engagement toolkit, and provide corporate engagement support to the ProVeg network as needed (e.g., planning and running events and webinars).

With a thorough understanding of how food businesses operate, and a demonstrable background in effecting change within the food industry, you’ll be an experienced relationship builder, a driven and enthusiastic self-starter, and an excellent project manager.
