About the role

Fruitist is a modern food company on a mission to revolutionize snacking—and the numbers prove we’re well on our way. With over $1B in lifetime sales and $400M in revenue in the last year alone, we’re not chasing trends—we’re building a lasting brand at the intersection of health, sustainability, and innovation with our suite of snackable superfruits including berries and cherries.

Our momentum is powered by a leadership team drawn from the likes of McKinsey, Calm, Red Bull, and Netflix, and backed by global investors who specialize in consumer and tech-forward ventures. Together, we’re leveraging data, supply chain technology, and a sustainability-first model to disrupt a $500 billion-dollar industry.
