Vacancy: CCO (Chief Commercial Officer) *closed*
** We are overwhelmed by the response to this vacancy. We are currently planning and conducting interviews with a number of candidates. **
Within months we hope to look back and say ‘how ever did we manage without our Commercial Chief?’ You have an honorable job to do: to bring Margarets casein and cheese to the market – better still, to bring it to every fridge out there. You will be doing this from the ground up, and through B2B and B2C channels (check out our Ghent Gazette for some more background). Ideally, you’ve been working in the cheese biz before, which will help you find the best partnerships with traditional (yet ambitious) cheese producers. The US will be your first focus, market wise. Daunting? Not for you – as you like a world class commercial challenge. A true bridge builder, you know a good relationship with everyone involved is your gold – you’re not just a stellar stainless steel cowhand, you’re a people person. And you know your fellow cowboys have your back: you will work closely together with our product development lab, sales, marketing, partnerships and of course the other chiefs.
WANTED | FINANCIAL CHIEF | COMMERCIAL CHIEF | OPERATIONAL CHIEF
For the imminent expansion & commercialization of our rapidly growing stainless steel cow enterprise, Those Vegan Cowboys are now hiring 3 razor sharp individuals to take animal-free cheese to the next level. The three of you will be at the forefront, building an entirely new part of our company. And doing that, you will make dairy history.
In all 3 roles;
We are looking for experienced individuals who feel our mission and will harness it as a drive to propel Those Vegan Cowboys forward. Each role is a wild opportunity to be part of something bigger than your job description, as we are building the next step in dairy that will radically make things better for our environment, future generation’s food availability, for farmers and of course for farm animals.
They’re not necessarily full-time jobs (probably part-time to start with) and there is room to discuss your starting date. If you live anywhere near the Dutch/Belgian border, we can work things out: our ranch in Ghent hopes to see you often, but it’s fine if you work partly remote. And we’ll regularly meet for coffee at a 2nd Dutch ranch conveniently located close to the border.
You may find our job descriptions on the short side and we have our reasons for that: we think everyone benefits if we shape your role together. The job descriptions aren’t fixed – roles can be combined to suit the people involved. In the end, we hope to have 3 great new chiefs on board, happy in their independent role as fitting in a start-up/scale-up environment, all part of the same management team working alongside CTO ‘Sheriff’ Will and CEO ‘The Indian’ Hille.
Like all cowboys, you will earn a fitting salary and gain proud ownership of a share in the company through our personnel participation program. Shared with your colleagues, you will own 20% to be exact.
You will also get your own cowboy nickname and we’re not afraid to use it.
If you feel excitement over these roles or know the perfect individual, don’t hesitate to drop us a line at postoffice@thosevegancowboys.com so we can get talkin’.
A note to well-meaning agencies or intermediaries: please do not bother, we prefer the old fashioned personal approach. We will only proceed with direct messages from candidates themselves.
