Vibrant Vegan Co. is a food subscription company that is currently hiring a ‘Director of Taste’ whose job it is to travel the world to find new healthy, plant-based foods and meals. All accommodation, travel and food expenses are covered, in addition to 28 days of vacation and a £50,000 salary. A typical working week includes 35 hours and a lot of time away from home, visiting new countries and seeking out the best plant-based dishes and ingredients in the area.

The successful candidate can expect to spend up to four months at a time on the road, visiting countries like Japan, Mexico, China, India, Turkey and Chile. They must also be good at networking as they will be expected to set up overseas partnerships to facilitate the sourcing of new ingredients for the company.
To be considered, candidates must also have a background of at least three years in the food industry, either as a chef or in another food-related role. Applicants must be flexible and undergo a “rigorous interview process, full background check, and in-house taste test to see if their palette is ‘up to scratch’.”
