Are you a PR & earned media powerhouse who has personally transformed emerging food brands into cultural phenomena through relentless grit, visionary storytelling, and an uncanny ability to capture the zeitgeist?
Bitewell is seeking a Director of Media Relations & Brand Communications who can roll up their sleeves and lead our earned media and communications efforts. You won't just plan campaigns—you'll personally pitch media and secure the coverage that transforms Bitewell's FoodHealth Score from a novel technology to an essential part of consumers' relationship with food. You'll be the driving force behind our media presence, directly executing the outreach that turns early adopters into passionate advocates while establishing our credibility with mainstream audiences.
About Bitewell
Our vision is to create a world without diet-related disease. We're making this happen through our core product: The FoodHealth Score. The score is our proprietary, first-of-its-kind nutrition scoring system that combines cutting-edge science with innovative technology to give consumers insight and transparency into the healthfulness of food. We bring this to market with our partners in food retail, manufacturing, and data, which empowers customers to make healthier choices, merchandisers to stock healthier shelves and brands to make healthier products.
What You'll Do
We're not just building another app – we're creating technology that could fundamentally change how people eat and live. You'll work directly with our leadership team, have significant input on our product direction, and see your ideas translate into features used by real people making real food choices.
Our culture values boldness, intellectual curiosity, and a hands-on approach. We're looking for someone who can bring their authentic self to work, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and contribute to our mission with both expertise and enthusiasm.
Ready to help us make FoodHealth Score a household term? Apply now to join our team and make an impact on one of the most important health challenges of our time.
