Plantible Foods is unlocking the power of Rubi Protein—a sustainable, functional, and highly nutritious ingredient derived from Lemna. Our mission is to revolutionize the food system by creating better proteins for people and the planet. We’re scaling our first commercial facility in Texas and expanding our product and customer pipeline globally. We’re looking for an experienced Project Manager to help lead cross-functional initiatives at Plantible—ranging from new product development and customer execution projects to scaling operational capabilities and implementing project management best practices across teams. As a Project Manager, you will operate as a connective hub across R&D, Engineering, Manufacturing, FSQ, and Supply Chain—driving clarity, accountability, and execution. You’ll own project delivery from concept to completion, establish clear processes for planning and decision-making, and elevate how Plantible runs its most strategic projects. You will translate complex scientific workstreams into crisp milestones, surface risks early, and ensure the right people are aligned on goals and next steps. What you will be working on
Lead Cross-Functional Execution: Manage 1–3 strategic projects at a time spanning new product development, customer trials, and operational initiatives. Own project scope, timeline, deliverables, and success metrics. Implement Project Management Best Practices: Introduce scalable PM frameworks (charters, RAID logs, decision registers, retros) and ensure consistency across departments. Coordinate Resources: Partner with R&D, Engineering, Manufacturing, FSQ, and Supply Chain to align on capacity, resource allocation, and readiness for trials or production. Vendor and Customer Interface: Coordinate with external partners for trials, materials, and deliverables; manage timelines and communication with customer PMOs. Budget & Risk Management: Track budgets vs. plan, surface variances early, and maintain a log of risks, issues, and mitigations. Reporting & Communication: Deliver executive-ready status summaries that integrate into weekly business reviews and OKR cadences. Define transfer-ready criteria (recipe/setpoints/CTQs/SOP links), confirm acceptance with Ops/FSQ, and support first runs. What you bring to Plantible
5–8+ years managing cross-functional technical projects ideally in food tech, biotech, or manufacturing-driven startups. Demonstrated command of stage-gates, critical-path scheduling, and multi-team coordination. Clear, concise communicator with the ability to influence without authority. Familiarity with FSMA/GMP basics, plant trial logistics, and change control in regulated environments. Proficiency with Google Workspace and PM tools (Smartsheet/ClickUp/Asana/Jira) and basic Gantt/timeline building. Data hygiene: comfortable with KPI tracking, RAID maintenance, and simple cost tracking. Preferred: exposure to process engineering or manufacturing scale-up; experience coordinating vendor trials or line validations. Choose Plantible Foods
