H1pstrongAbout planetary /strong /p /h1 pPlanetary is building the future of food through large-scale fermentation. Based in Switzerland, we produce high-quality, sustainable ingredients that help food companies create better products without compromise on taste, texture, or nutrition. /p pAt the heart of our portfolio is Libre mycoprotein: a minimally processed, whole-food ingredient grown through natural fermentation.

All this below the price of chicken meat. /p pWe partner with food brands, manufacturers, and foodservice leaders to bring innovative, delicious products to market, from concept to launch. strongWe recently closed a €23M Series A /strong led by Oetker Ventures and Royal Cosun, giving us the fuel to scale Libre into more kitchens, factories, and supermarket shelves worldwide. /p h2Job Description /h2 pPlanetary is recruiting a full-time Senior Account Manager for the Swiss market.
