Alternative protein executive search & recruiting.

The best people aren't applying to jobs on LinkedIn. They're being headhunted by savvy search firms like ours.

Food Impact Partners is the leading recruiter for alternative protein companies. Whether your focus is plant-based, fermentation-derived, cultivated, blended meat, or novel ingredients, we understand the unique talent needs from food science expertise, process engineering, regulatory knowledge, and commercialization. We've placed VP of R&D, Chief Commercial Officers, Bioprocess Engineering Managers, Board Directors, and other critical leaders at alt protein companies. When you need an executive who gets the alternative protein space, we have them in our network.

“The Food Impact team is so much more than just a search firm. They really understand the precision fermentation space, and they have the tools, expertise and determination to find those “needle in a haystack” candidates.”
