Mentoring and peer network
Once you're in a role, you're not on your own. We connect you with experienced mentors working in food businesses and a network of people in similar roles, so you can join a community, learn from each other, and build your influence.

The roles we focus on
Not every food industry role changes what a business buys. We look for roles with a real say in what a food business sources, specifies, buys, or serves, from supermarkets and manufacturers to caterers and public buyers like the NHS and schools.
We focus on roles that influence protein sourcing because it is one of the biggest choices a food business makes, with large effects on climate, land, water, health, and animal welfare. We rate every role on our job board from 1 to 5 for how much say it has over protein sourcing. A low score isn't a warning; many useful early-career roles score 2 or 3 because they build the skills and credibility for more influential ones.
Roles fall into three routes:
Responsible sourcing and supplier standards. Supplier standards, ethical trade, audits, and certification. These roles build the standards and assurance that make supply chains more resilient and ethical.
Plant-forward and alternative protein. Menus, reformulation, and category strategy. These roles develop products and ranges for the growing demand for plant-rich and alternative protein options.
Broader food sustainability. Food waste, carbon footprinting, packaging, and more. These roles give you a broad understanding of the food system, so you can bring different perspectives into sourcing decisions and help a business source more sustainably.
