Global Sales Manager - Petfood

Location: Hamburg/Lisbon (remote-friendly within Europe)

We are looking for a Global Sales Manager to drive MicroHarvest’s growth in high-potential petfood markets. By building partnerships with petfood producers and distributors, you will make our sustainable protein a reality in products that feed millions of pets worldwide.

You will work on an exciting opportunity to create impact: bringing sustainable, high-quality ingredients into the fast-growing petfood industry, and proving that natural fermentation can change what pets eat for the better.

You’ll join a passionate, international team of entrepreneurs, scientists, and commercial leaders — all united by a mission to deliver better protein.

What You’ll Do

• Open doors: Identify and connect with petfood producers, distributors, and brand partners.
• Build partnerships: Engage with customers on how our products translate into clear business benefits.
• Grow sales: Guide customers from first contact to signed deals, supported by our technical experts.
• Further improve our value proposition: Work with our Marketing Team to create new compelling product presentations, samples, and campaigns.
• Be the customer’s voice: Partner with our Head of Commercial, Operations, and I&D to ensure customer needs translate into real product value.
• Build actionable insights: Work closely with Business Intelligence to further shape our strategy, by tracking market trends and understanding customer needs.

Who You Are

• Experienced in petfood or animal nutrition sales (2–4 years), ideally with a strong network.
• Experienced in building relationships, closing deals and delivering customer value.
• Able to translate product technicalities into clear business benefits.
• Fluent in English; other languages are a plus.
• Willing to travel (20–30%).
• Excited to work at a startup pace: proactive, hands-on, and adaptable.
• Driven by making a real-world impact with your career.

Why Join Us?

At MicroHarvest, we’re not just another company. We are:

• Impact-driven: Our mission is to deliver better protein, today: Sustainable. Nutritious. Scalable.
• Fast-growing: Backed by leading investors, we’re scaling fast and we will drive that together with you.
• Collaborative: You’ll work side by side with our founders, scientists, and commercial leaders, and learn every day.
• Unique culture: An international, supportive, and fun team that values diversity and curiosity.

Here, your work doesn’t just grow a business. It changes an industry.
