About Foodhub
Foodhub is a fast-growing global technology company entering an exciting new phase of expansion. With a newly established Dublin headquarters and operations across the UK, USA, ANZ and India, we are building a high-calibre senior leadership team to help shape the future of the business.
This is a rare opportunity to join at a pivotal stage — the energy and ambition of a scale-up, backed by the stability and success of an established international business. Foodhub is profitable, debt-free, and has delivered sustained year-on-year growth across multiple international markets.
As we accelerate our global expansion strategy through both organic growth and international acquisitions, we are looking for ambitious leaders who want to play a defining role in building something significant. This is more than a leadership position — it’s an opportunity to influence the direction of a dynamic global business at the start of its next major growth chapter.

The CMO will work closely with the CEO and executive leadership team to define and execute a scalable, data-driven marketing strategy that strengthens Foodhub’s market position and accelerates growth.
The role requires a strategic yet hands-on leader with deep expertise in performance marketing, brand development, and customer lifecycle management within high-growth, technology-led businesses.
This role will involve regular international travel across Foodhub’s global markets to ensure alignment, execution, and strong local market impact.
