Do you want to make a delicious difference?
Planet A Foods is for people who want to change the future of food.
We are reinventing how the world produces food ingredients, replacing scarce and unsustainable raw materials with scalable, clean, and delicious alternatives. Our first product, a cocoa-free chocolate, is just the beginning. Our ambition is to build a new global champion in food ingredients.
At Planet A Foods, you'll join a bold, highly committed, international team of scientists, engineers, operators, and industry experts united by one goal: creating real, measurable planetary impact.
This role offers real accounting ownership from day one, not just filing and data entry. As a Junior Accounting Manager, you will build your accounting foundation hands-on, supporting our full bookkeeping cycle while contributing to the automation and process improvement work that keeps Planet A Foods running efficiently. You will work closely with our CFO and Lead FP&A, gaining direct exposure to finance operations in a fast-moving food tech environment and growing into a reliable pillar of the team.
