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).
