Work From Home to Promote Sustainable Food (Thailand)

As a Sustainability Program Manager, you will build relationships and collaborate with leading domestic and multinational food companies (restaurant chains, caterers, retailers, hospitality groups, and packaged good companies) to help them incorporate sustainable foods such as cage-free eggs and plant-based food into their supply chain.

In recent years, in response to increasing concern for sustainability and animal welfare, over 2,000 companies worldwide and over 70 leading food brands in Asia and have pledged to use cage-free eggs in their operations, including Burger King, Nestle, Danone, and many others. Many of these commitments in Asia have been generated by Lever Foundation and the colleagues you will be working with. Cage-free eggs are far more humane for animals, are much higher in food safety for consumers, and have become an important part of many companies' corporate sustainability pledges.

In this full-time role with Lever Foundation, you will help educate more companies on the sustainability, animal welfare, and economic benefits of making this supply chain shift. You will provide industry updates, connect these companies with potential suppliers, and provide other resources to help them understand and make progress on the issue. In order to identify and engage new food companies, you will do online research, write and send emails, make calls, and conduct visits and meetings with companies. 

You’ll work from home and hours are highly flexible. You’ll have wonderful colleagues in Asia, Europe, and the US who will work with and support you. You’ll stay in close touch with them through calls, email and messages.

Through this work you will have hands-on experience working with leading food companies on corporate sustainability, with room for advancement to managerial or other positions.

We do not require any particular educational or work background; instead, we're looking for a candidate with the specific personality traits and skills needed to succeed in this job:
