Do you want to make a delicious difference?

Planet A Foods is for people who want to change the future of food.

We are reinventing how the world produces food ingredients, replacing scarce and unsustainable raw materials with scalable, clean, and delicious alternatives. Our first product, a cocoa-free chocolate, is just the beginning. Our ambition is to build a new global champion in food ingredients.

At Planet A Foods, you’ll join a bold, highly committed, international team of scientists, engineers, operators, and industry experts united by one goal: creating real, measurable planetary impact.

You will report directly to the CFO, and working closely with all functions to drive financial performance and enable strategic growth.

You will set the vision, structures, and tools that will define Planet A Foods’ financial discipline, operational rigor, and strategic impact for years to come.
