People and Culture Business Partner

**About us**:
The world needs smart food solutions that are friendly to the palate and the planet, but right now, plant-based and alternative protein products just don't stack up to the real thing.

And that's where Nourish comes in.

Our animal-free fats and oils make alternative proteins taste delicious. With our science, we can tailor flavour profiles that precisely reproduce the taste and mouthfeel of beef, chicken, fish, milk, cheese and beyond. Products made with our fats are more than an alternative, they're a straight up improvement. Backed by Horizons Ventures and Main Sequence Ventures, Nourish Ingredients are a key player in the future of a smarter, more sustainable, and more diverse food system.

We are looking for a resilient and proactive People & Culture Business Partner to join our rapidly growing team. This role is not for the faint-hearted and will be critical to helping us make Nourish the work home for awesome people who want to change the way the world eats for the better.

The People & Culture Business Partner will be a pivotal member of the people and culture team, actively partnering with employees and leaders to provide guidance and support, while driving initiatives that enhance the organizational culture and contribute to achieving business objectives.
