Our client is on a mission to enable the global food system to become sustainable. Their technology is enabling thousands of restaurants, wholesalers, and producers across 7 countries to operate waste-free and efficiently already today. Yet, this is a drop into the ocean. They just started. Their goal to connect the global food system is extremely ambitious and complex. A problem of this magnitude and complexity requires a massive scale and only the best people will be able to solve it. They are gathering the best people globally together in order to succeed in their mission. Are you in?
For them, it is always team-first. Teams in which everyone subordinates their individual success to the team's success will win against teams that don't. Can you put your ego aside?
They are looking for the hungry underdogs that will rather fail than not try. They look for humility because it makes us learn faster. And they look for people who understand that hard work is necessary and that shortcuts don’t exist. They are playing the long game and want to build a truly generational company.
Their mission requires them to be fast. They believe that urgency is a mindset. They look for people who act with speed in everything they do, yet never lose sight of the bigger picture.
Fun plays an important role. They want to succeed and celebrate when they do. It is important to them that their people form real bonds in and outside of work.
They have no small plans; they are assembling a championship team, with people that take real ownership of the company’s long-term success. If you feel this is for you, then deep inside you, you might be already one of them.
