Business Development Partner – CPG Commerce

About SideChef ‍

SideChef is a leading global food tech company that empowers brands, retailers, and consumers through cutting-edge recipe technology and commerce solutions. Our platform connects food inspiration to real purchase behavior by powering engaging recipe hubs, shoppable content, and performance-driven CPO (Cost-Per-Order) commerce campaigns.

SideChef’s consumer app has been recognized as a favorite cooking app by USA Today and The New York Times , named “Best App of the Year” by Google Play, and ranked on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. for its rapid growth and strategic innovation.

We work with world-class partners across CPG, retail, and food media , including retail leaders (Walmart, Target, Amazon Fresh, REWE, Marks & Spencer) and major CPG brands (Nestlé, Unilever, Mondelez), to drive measurable business impact through recipe engagement and commerce initiatives.

We are a boutique global, remote-first company with teams across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. We move fast, operate lean, and give real ownership to people who earn it.

We're looking for a business development professional who loves the hunt—someone who gets energy from opening doors, building relationships, and turning conversations into commercial partnerships. This role is about revenue, not activity. Success is measured by opportunities closed, partnerships launched, and revenue generated.

This is a role for someone who enjoys being in front of customers, spotting opportunities others miss, and creating momentum where none existed before.

You'll work directly with company leadership, represent proven solutions already used by leading brands, and play a meaningful role in driving the next stage of growth.

‍

• Build and close new partnerships with food CPG brands, agencies, and retailers
• Drive sales for recipe-based campaigns (with a Cost-Per-Order model) and Recipe Shoppability Technology
• Generate and manage your own pipeline of qualified opportunities
• Own the full sales process from prospecting through contract execution and close

Success in this role is not measured by the number of meetings held. It's measured by new business and revenue generated. ‍

• Well-connected within the CPG space, with a trusted network of brand marketers and industry leaders
• You enjoy hunting for new business and creating opportunities
• You are naturally curious and commercially minded
• You can build trust quickly with decision-makers
• You are comfortable operating independently and taking initiative
• You are motivated by results and enjoy being close to the revenue

‍

This is not a role for someone looking to manage a team or spend their days in internal meetings. It's a role for someone who wants to be in the market, talking to customers, building relationships, and closing business. You don't confuse activity with progress. You know that meetings, presentations, and proposals are only valuable if they lead to signed agreements.

‍

We're looking for someone with 5–10 years of experience in business development, partnerships, or sales, selling primarily to CPGs or agencies.
