Social Media & Content Manager

Job description

ABOUT US Since launching in 2014 with the creation of the first shelf-stable cold brew, Minor Figures has focused on creating innovative, plant-based products for a more delicious future. Our signature Barista Oat range can be found on the bar at over 10,000 independent coffee shops around the world and our full lineup of products can be found in thousands of stores across 4 continents. Minor Figures has been B Corp Certified since 2022. We have big plans for the future of Minor Figures. As we continue to grow at a rapid pace, we want to welcome curious, free-spirited, bold thinkers to help us continue to create and evolve. We value individuality and a team made up of people who bring a diverse range of experiences and perspectives to the table.
