This is a rare opportunity to help shape the impact of a fast-growing, founder-led food brand at a moment where clarity and consistency really matter. You'll work closely with the founders, turning big ideas into marketing that actually lands in restaurants, online, and in people's hands. You'll have real influence, room to challenge ideas constructively, and the trust to hold teams to decisions and deadlines. If you love strong opinions, great execution, and building marketing that feels human, creative, and effective, this role gives you the space to do your best work.
There's no fixed closing date for this role. We're reviewing applications and meeting candidates on a rolling basis, so if you're interested, we'd encourage you to apply sooner rather than later. The role is available to start as soon as possible.
Role Purpose
You translate our founders' creative vision into a clear, effective marketing strategy that builds brand love and supports Sprout's ability to grow. You'll lead the planning, coordination, and execution of marketing across all channels, ensuring we show up consistently, creatively, and professionally wherever customers experience Sprout: in restaurants, online, in campaigns, and through loyalty and CRM.
This role blends brand-building, operational delivery, and performance-driven marketing. You are both a strategic thinker and a strong executor, managing and building the marketing structure that helps Sprout thrive.
