Role
Who you are
- 3+ years experience in management consulting, finance, or comparable strategic / analytical role
- Financial modeling experience (ideally three statement models, etc.). You live for spreadsheets
- Strong bias towards autonomy, proactivity getting stuff done, and pivoting quickly as priorities shift
- Solution orientation and comfort in ambiguity - you dive in and quickly bring structure to complex problems
- Experience working cross-functionally, a preference for working in a team. Maybe you've said 'Teamwork makes the dream work" out loud before
- Extreme organizational skills. Maybe to the point that your previous co-workers were a little concerned
- You are a strong verbal communicator, and are able to facilitate discussions with and present to senior stakeholders
- Strong written communication and presentation building skills. You also live for PowerPoint
Desirable
- Experience working in a high-growth startup setting
- Experience in food, hard technology, or related field
What the job involves
- We're looking to beef up our commercial team with a Strategy & Corporate Development Senior Associate / Manager. There’s literally too much interesting work to do (and we've jammed it all into one mouthful of a title)!
- You will wear many hats reporting to the Head of Strategy & Corporate Development in both long-term planning and near-term execution, while identifying and leading your own initiatives along the way
- This is an awesome chance to join a fast-growing climate tech startup with fresh funding and grow with it as it shifts from R&D to commercialization
- Support critical strategic planning efforts, including annual planning, product roadmap, budgeting, and organizational planning
- Support business development activities with Fortune 100 customer and strategic partner prospects, including target identification, developing pitch materials, outreach, project management of existing relationships
- Support Tender’s financing efforts and finance function, including building strategy, preparations, and data room materials for future fundraising, evaluating and sourcing alternative funding sources, and building out the finance function
- Provide strategic and analytical support for our foodservice GTM efforts, including refining and implementing our sales strategy, building the function and supporting sales operations capabilities, demand forecasting, and pricing
- Identify, implement, and lead other strategic initiatives
- Provide analytical and project management support to other cross-functional initiatives
Our take
In recent years, vegan alternatives to traditional meat products have gone from being a niche interest to a mainstream one. Tender is ringing in a new generation of alternative meat products that have the same texture, taste, and consistency as real whole cuts of meat.
Though their whole-cut meat products are similar to other companies like MorningStar Farms, Ozo and Gardein, these businesses use high-moisture extrusion, resulting in a dense protein slab. Tender’s ability to create hair-width fibers is a game-changer in the plant-based meat industry.
As Tender gears up to commercially launch their product in stores, while also expanding their number of partnered restaurants, they are on the right path to sustainably change the future of food.
