About The Position

David creates tools to help people build muscle and lose fat. Our first products are protein bars, and we’re building a platform for high-protein, low-calorie, blood-sugar-friendly foods that are craveable.
This is a rare opportunity to join a breakout food brand at a pivotal stage of growth. Led by CEO Peter Rahal, Cofounder and Former CEO of RXBAR, David is working to become the leading consumer food brand focused on high-protein foods in North America and beyond.
This role will own the strategy and execution of partnerships, affiliate/ambassador programs, and brand marketing initiatives. You’ll help define who we align with, how we show up publicly, and how we build demand through collaborations, community, and brand.
This person is equal parts strategic and hands-on: building repeatable systems while creating moments that drive reach, conversation, and demand.

• Own David’s ambassador + affiliate strategy, including TikTok Shop affiliate commerce
