Head of Commercial

Calling the best commercial folks and marketers around the world. Here’s your chance for the coolest one-year project, ever. Come join Vow’s team in Sydney, Australia for one year to step into the shoes of a teammate heading out for maternity leave to help us build an entirely new category of food. If you’re passionate about food and the environment or simply love tackling big challenges, this is the opportunity of a lifetime.

Vow isn't your average meat company. We're looking to solve one of earth's greatest food security challenges - growing global meat demand - by making entirely new meats unlike anything available to us today. And Vow is in the driver's seat of bringing cultured meat to the masses. We're the only company actively selling cultured meat anywhere in the world, and the only cultured meat company in the world with the supply and regulatory approvals to sell meaningful volumes in market. Check it out (here), we recently grew 300kg of meat in a matter of days.

Now, we need you to help supercharge the growth and adoption of our meat in market, significantly accelerating our commercial growth over the next year to help us hit our ambitious demand goals. This will be focused in Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand, but with the potential to expand.

This is a rare opportunity for a strategic marketer and commercial guru, with a creative and disruptive aptitude, to pioneer the team that makes this sustainable revolution irresistible as we craft a whole new category of food - cultured meat.

You’ll be responsible for managing our sales, marketing, and communications efforts to execute an effective product expansion strategy across these target markets, and will help to write the playbook for how we build and scale consumer followings for our future products and brands..

Who you are:

• Commercially-minded. You have a track record of scaling new, innovative products and building sustaining, resilient businesses around these.
• Strategic thinker & storyteller. You’re a vision-centred thinker with high conviction. You can craft incredible stories but and strategies then rally and inspire your team and others to execute around that.
• Creative. You spike in idea generation and push for disruptive creativity when it comes to brands. You’re an expert in exploring creative possibilities that act as leverage for our commercial goals, maximising volume strategically.
• Analytical. You have a bias towards testing hypotheses rapidly, using both quantitative and qualitative data to drive decision-making (whilst keeping space for intuition). You get deep into the data, and are unafraid to get your hands dirty with both strategy and execution.
• Adventurous. You’re comfortable with navigating ambiguity and thinking from first principles, always asking "what if" and energised by building the plane as we fly it.
• Bold. Risk tolerance is a natural resource and a strength that you have. You encourage going to the edge, and do really wild stuff.
• Be a key demand generation leader for Vow.
• Report to Vow’s COO to build and grow the foundations of our commercial arm.
• Be a champion of both creative brand building but also data-driven commercial decision-making.
• Pioneer our commercial expansion strategy and put in place the enablers to deliver on that.
• Oversee team members who drive our field sales, brand marketing, PR, content design, trade marketing, product marketing, and demand planning efforts.
