Want to join the movement? You can help us solve the most urgent, important challenge facing the world today (and have fun doing it).

Job Summary:
This role is primarily a function of the Sales Team, and is responsible for partnering with our Account Executives and cross functional partners to prospect, pitch, and grow future and current customer opportunities as a culinary expert for Impossible products. As a Culinary Specialist, you will establish rapport with customer Innovation and Operations teams to sell our products with trend-forward applications and solution-based suggestions to seamlessly integrate Impossible onto menus and into customer BOH operations. We are looking for a strategic thinker that approaches our partnership opportunities by thinking critically, creatively and comprehensively.

Essential Job Functions:
Acting as a culinary liaison, this role bridges Impossible Foods with top food service customers, including national and regional accounts. Responsibilities include presenting products through trend-driven demonstrations, aligning operator concepts with product vision, and communicating customer needs internally and externally. The candidate will provide culinary solutions, support troubleshooting, and collaborate with internal teams (R&D, Product, Manufacturing, Sales) to develop the best offerings.

A background that includes experience with both large and small manufacturers is preferred. They should demonstrate strong creative and critical thinking skills, the ability to quickly learn new concepts, and a proactive approach to solving complex problems. Organizational skills are highly valued, along with the ability to drive projects to completion with minimal direction, ensuring attention to detail and a willingness to dive deep when necessary. A growth mindset is crucial—candidates should be curious, open to feedback, and able to turn setbacks into opportunities for improvement.
