Our first product? Yummy chocolate! We created the world’s first 100% cocoa-free chocolate called Nocoa. Our Nocoa tastes amazing with a solid snap and smooth melt as well as roasty notes and a subtle sweetness. In addition it is completely natural, gluten-free, vegan and made with only seven ingredients. Nocoa doesn’t only deliver on taste and naturalness. It is also kind to the planet with a breathtaking low carbon and water footprint, plus a complete mitigation of deforestation and child slavery!
On our journey to protect our Planet A, we are looking for a Chief Operating Officer (COO) who will be responsible for the whole value chain from raw material sourcing over procurement, quality management, production, logistics and distribution. Your main focus will be the industrialization of Nocoa.
You will be one of the early employees, having an outsized impact, shaping the company through your efforts and industry expertise. You will be core to friendly revolutionizing the chocolate industry with us.
