Key Account Manager Foodservice Italy (F/M/D)
Milano
Lombardia, Milano

We are Planted and we have big things in store – and for that we need YOU! After years of research, Planted was founded in July 2019 as a spin-off from ETH Zurich. Our revolutionary plan will make the world a better place. We structure meats from plants that are in no way inferior to animal meat, score with unique taste, and authentic texture, and are miles ahead in terms of sustainability and health!

Planted is more than a delicious product - it's also an attitude. We want to radically change the way meat is perceived and consumed and inspire a shift from eating animal proteins to eating plant proteins.

We bring about change. Not just because we can. Because we have to. Are you hungry for change too? Then join our «Tasty Revolution»!
