Job Description:
About the company
Climax Foods is on a mission to revolutionize the way we eat.
We're bringing together the brightest minds in data science and
food science to replace animals with more efficient ways of
transforming plants into the foods we love. Using sophisticated
data science and machine learning methods, we are unlocking the
entire plant kingdom, reaching the pinnacle of taste, texture, and
nutrition.
Our team marries years of experience in inventing and
productionizing cutting-edge machine learning and data science
tools at companies like Google and SpaceX with operational
excellence leading plant-based food companies from the early
R&D stage to billion dollar valuations like Impossible Foods
and JUST.
Climax Foods is backed by mission-aligned investors who bring
strategic value allowing us to scale quickly to meet the urgent
need for a more sustainable and safe food system, without
sacrificing the culturally rich experience of delicious food.
Working at Climax Foods:
We believe in the power of data. Not only in how we are reinventing
food, but also in how we work together, hire, and recruit. We put
people first. The data is clear that a culture of belonging through
inclusive and equitable policies, practices, and structures leads
to the most innovative teams. We welcome applications from
individuals from every unique background. We also believe that
compensating fairly is critical to making our company sustainable,
equitable, and inclusive.
The Opportunity
As VP/Director of R&D at Climax Foods, you will oversee and
guide all research activities at Climax Foods. You will work with
leaders and teams across data science, protein functionality,
chemical analytics, microbiology, and food science guiding Climax's
overall R&D strategy to achieve key company-wide product
development milestones. You will utilize Climax's modeling,
prototyping, and assay development pipeline to lead new product
development and innovate on the existing product pipeline.
You will also work closely with leadership and business units to
establish strategies to accomplish Climax Foods' vision to
accelerate the world's transition away from environmentally toxic
animal agriculture practices by developing best-in-class
plant-based dairy products that can out-compete to their
animal-derived counterparts in functionality, taste, smell, cost,
and nutrition.
