About the opportunity
We're hiring on behalf of a client (a premium dairy-free dessert and beverage company) that's building a brand-new category in food service, and they need someone to make sure the right people know they exist.
You'll be the link between the brand and the people who decide what ends up on menus: operators, chefs, distributors, consultants and the trade media who cover them. Some of this is content, but most of it is genuine relationship-building across Linked In, Instagram, events and industry communities.

What you'll do
Find and engage operators, chefs, consultants, distributors and influencers across Linked In, Instagram, events and podcasts
Join the daily conversations around menu innovation, beverages, desserts and dairy-free trends
Drive event follow-up before and after trade shows, turning introductions into actual relationships
Build relationships across Linked In, Instagram, events, podcasts, newsletters, and
industry communities
Own the brand's Linked In and Instagram, from planning to posting to responding
Turn customer wins and menu launches into spotlights, reels and case studies
Amplify executive thought leadership so it reaches the people who matter
Track competitor moves, emerging trends and notable menu innovations across hospitality and food service
Share what you're seeing with sales and leadership so they can act on it
Spot openings for partnerships, PR and speaking opportunities
Assist with award submissions, podcast outreach and maintain relations with trade media

Who we're looking for
You've actually done 3 to 7 years across marketing, communications, social media, community management or PR
You've run Linked In and Instagram business accounts and know what real engagement looks like (not just vanity metrics)
You're a strong writer who can make a brand sound human
You're organised and self-directed, happy owning your work without someone checking in
You like starting conversations with strangers, and you're good at it
You build influence through consistency and authenticity, not shortcuts

Bonus points if you have
Worked in food service, restaurants, hospitality, beverage or CPG
Spent time at trade shows and industry events
Basic Canva skills, plus photography or short-form video experience
Used Hub Spot, Salesforce, Clay or Apollo
