Brand Director @ MATR foods 

Are you passionate about making a real impact on human and planetary health? And are you ready to challenge the entire food system? 

MATR foods is looking for a brilliant marketer and communicator to join our journey to do just that.  

MATR foods is a young start-up on a mission to revolutionize the way we eat and produce food. With our advanced fermentation techniques, we transform local vegetables and grains into crave-able food with amazing nutritional values and very low footprints. We have already launched in branded collaboration with Gasoline Grill, Sticks’n'Sushi and others where we have been well received. But our ambitions are big and international, and we are building a stellar team to take us there.  

A key role in that team will be our Brand Director. You will be shaping our consumer brand and making sure we create noise, followership and consumer love. You will be building your own team as we grow.  

The role 

The role reports to the CEO and will work in close collaboration with our Sales and product teams. It requires the full palette of marketing tools; strategy, brand building, go-to-market planning, digital, creative/design, press/PR communications, activations and much more. In short, you will be charged with setting the direction for the global marketing & communication strategy and ensuring great execution. 

Responsibilities 

• Define and develop the brand strategy in close cooperation with the CEO and founders  

• Strategic marketing lead and end-to-end responsibility for the go-to-market planning and execution of campaigns and activations. 

• Drive ongoing execution of marketing and communication 

• Build and lead the marketing and communications team

You are an out-of-the-box thinker who knows how to use the network, purpose and gut to create attention and followership. You are digitally native but can also execute offline. You have leadership experience and know how to balance speed and rigor. 

And if you have international experience, that will be a great plus. 

Aside from the marketing disciplines, you also have astute business acumen. You are a driven self-starter who thrives in a fast-growing organization where nothing is perfect, but most things are possible. 

You are proactive with an outgoing and curious nature, and you are an excellent communicator and master storyteller. Education wise you possess a Master of Science in International Marketing, Communication, or similar.
