The Physicians Committee’s nutrition team works closely with our physician members, business leaders, policymakers, and advocates to influence corporations nationwide to serve healthful foods.
About this Career Opportunity
Plant-based diets have been shown to decrease obesity rates and even reverse some chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases while research links processed meats to certain forms of cancer. Many restaurant chains have made significant changes to their menus embracing growing plant-based industry trends. Despite these positive changes in menus across the country, public and private settings present new opportunities to increase the availability of healthful menu options to benefit public health.
The Corporate Liaison will work to persuade executives to add healthful options to their institutions’ menus by articulating the health, cost-savings, and other benefits of a plant-based diet and providing resources and guidance.
Responsibilities will include:
Build and maintain strategic relationships with hospital chains, insurers, food service providers and catering companies, supermarkets, governmental institutions, restaurant chains, airlines, and other institutions.
Assist public and private institutions with the elimination of processed meat and addition of plant-based options to their menus.
Recruit corporate sponsors for seasonal campaigns.
Develop and implement strategies to influence local and federal policies to further support these efforts.
We are looking for a candidate with demonstrated success in negotiations, sales, or lobbying and who can excel in relationship building and project management. Strong team work, writing, and presentations skills are also critical to success in this role. This is a full-time position based in Washington, D.C. (Friendship Heights on Metro’s Red Line). The Corporate Liaison will report to our Managing Director of Nutrition.
How to Apply
Please submit a cover letter and resume with your application. Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis. We look forward to hearing from you!
