Marketing Manager

Marketing Manager

Full-time. Location: San Francisco

Three Trees in a Nutshell. Three Trees is a fast-growing, premium natural foods brand. We’re on a mission to make the most delicious, clean, and nourishing plant-based foods. From humble beginnings of being hand-bottled in a commercial kitchen, our plant-based milks have now achieved national status, elevating the shelves of natural foods stores like Whole Foods and Sprouts. With demonstrated success in the largest segment of plant-based foods, we are poised for even greater expansion and growth. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to join a successful startup and make a real impact.

What we’re proud of:

Small and Mighty. Without raising traditional VC dollars, we’ve grown an evergreen, sustainable business through focused, disciplined strategies, and always with the bottom line in mind.

Good for People and the Planet. Our vision is a world where it’s easy to eat plant-based foods that are also clean, nourishing, and delicious.

Our Team. Behind the beautiful bottle is a passionate team of data-driven food enthusiasts. Discussions are direct and lively – sparring with ideas gets us energized! No one gets hurt because it’s not about egos. You’ll find the team chatting over lunch about the latest adventures (i.e. urban pigeon rescue, raised veggie beds, rock climbing), and passing around a bar of craft dark chocolate.

This is where you come in.

Do you live to eat? Do you want to work at a small company where you get to see many facets of the business and leave your handprint on the product? Do you get energized about making things work better and achieving excellence? If so, you might be the dynamic individual we’re looking for.

The Marketing Manager will make a huge impact on our business. You will take charge of understanding and engaging with our core consumers, increasing brand awareness, and executing new initiatives to support the company's strategic objectives. The Marketing Manager will monitor trends in the marketplace, the competitive landscape, and consumer behavior to direct new product development.
