The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
Washington, DC, USA
Seeking candidate for a position in Washington, D.C., encouraging institutions and businesses to serve plant-based meals by building and maintaining relationships with corporate leaders nationwide.

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.
