JOB FILLED - Marketing Manager / Trade Manager

Job Description: 
ABOUT EVIVE
It all started when Evive’s co-founder, Claudia, started on a health journey 15 years ago and became convinced that healthy eating enriches lives. She was making a smoothie every morning and realized that most of the people around her were struggling to get a healthy start to their day. Together with her husband, Dominic, they developed the idea for a blender-free smoothie, which used Claudia’s recipes in frozen cubes. With this innovative packaging, anyone is now able to save time during their busy day without sacrificing healthy eating by simply popping the cubes, adding their liquid of choice and shaking it up! Since that moment in May 2015, Evive has sold over 15 million smoothie wheels, and has grown a strong community of more than 350,000 people. When the team realized that concept could transform other categories like plant-based soups, muffins and beverages, Evive Smoothie became Evive Nutrition. This leads up to today, where Claudia and Dominic’s mission for Evive is to have an impact by empowering millions of people to own their wellness everyday. We are now looking for a Marketing Manager / Trade Manager to join us and continue making that mission a reality.
