Job Description

In recent years, in response to increasing concern for sustainability and animal welfare, over 2,000 companies worldwide and over 300 leading food brands in Asia have pledged to use cage-free eggs in their operations. 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.

• As a Sustainable Food Supply Chain Engagement Manager, you will:
• Connect with medium and large egg producers through emails, calls, industry events, cold visits, trade groups, and networking
• Build relationships with medium and large egg producers to persuade them to transition toward cage-free egg production
• Provide industry updates and develop resources to nurture relationships with egg producers and further encourage them to shift toward cage-free production methods.

You’ll work from home and hours are highly flexible. You’ll have 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 role, you will gain hands-on experience working with leading food suppliers on sustainable farming and have opportunities for career advancement to managerial or other positions.
