The Role
As Senior Strategic Program Manager, you will independently design, lead, and deliver high-impact programs that accelerate the development and commercialization of alternative proteins in China—including plant-based, fermentation-derived, and cultivated solutions.
Working closely with the Executive Director and ProVeg’s international teams, you’ll strengthen the organization’s presence in China’s food innovation landscape and position ProVeg as a trusted convener across government, academia, research and industry. This is a highly autonomous role, ideal for a proactive manager with the ability to build coalitions and drive complex programs from concept through to execution.
Other key priorities are to:
- Design and implement strategic programs that advance alternative protein innovation and commercialization
- Foster strong relationships with central government to transform food systems
- Develop trusted partnerships with research bodies, universities, industry associations, and food/biotech leaders
- Represent ProVeg at high-level conferences, policy roundtables, and industry summits
- Partner with global ProVeg teams to amplify visibility, track impact, and share success stories
