Some talk about sustainability. Some talk about values. This one actually lives it. I'm working with a genuinely exciting, B Corp certified food brand that's growing quickly and doing things properly - from how they source, to how they partner, to how they show up in the market. They're now looking for someone to take ownership of their wholesale channel and help drive the next phase of growth. This isn't a "sit back and manage a few accounts" role. It's for someone who wants to get stuck in, build relationships, open doors and have a real say in how things are done.

If you're looking for something with more purpose, more ownership, and less corporate noise - this could be a really good move. Drop me a message or apply and I'll tell you more.
