🌱 Our Mission

We make it easy for everyone to build healthy habits and eat more fruit and vegetables by creating innovative products that are highly nutritious, sustainable and delicious. If you’re passionate about health, sustainability, and want to be part of a dynamic and collaborative team, this is the place for you!

🚀 How We Do It

Just 1 in 10 US adults eats the recommended minimum of 5 cups of fruits and vegetables every day. We're helping solve that problem with convenient, organic, and mouth-watering products.

We transform fresh, organic fruits and veggies into handy single-serving meal moments such as:

🥤 Instant Smoothies

🍵 Protein Drinks

🍓 Delicious Snacks

💼 Job Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Marketing Manager to join our team and support our USA P&L Team with leading high-impact, integrated marketing campaigns that drive awareness, trial, and velocity in retail.

This individual will own the development and execution of marketing strategies, bridging brand, shopper, and retail media efforts. The ideal candidate brings deep experience from emerging CPG brands, understands how to win in-store and online within retail and DTC environments, and can translate brand storytelling into programs that drive measurable results.
