Sales Manager DACH

Join Our Revolution in Food Technology!

Are you ready to drive exponential sales for a cutting-edge food tech scale-up?

At revyve, we are pioneering “A New World of Texture” with the next generation of sustainable food ingredients.

As we continue our rapid growth, we are excited to expand our team with an entrepreneurial and driven Sales Manager for the DACH region.

About revyve

Revyve is dedicated to developing high-value texturizing ingredients from yeast, aiming to replace animal-based ingredients like egg-whites and additives such as methylcellulose with sustainable vegan alternatives.

We are a diverse organization of 16-strong bright and fun members, valuing creativity, pragmatism and close collaboration.
