Sales Intern
LusOasis in Chicago IL is seeking a Sales Intern with strong opportunity to become a full-time position in this successful, fast-growing company.
LusOasis (------------/) is a startup company focused on plant-based alternatives to popular food items. Our mission is to create gateway foods that make a plant-based diet, easy, healthy and delicious for everyone.
We're very proud that we created the world's first affordable and commercially-ready plant-based whole-cut meat, under our new brand called ALCHEMEAT. Unlike ground-meat alternatives on the market, ALCHEMEAT will disrupt the 66 billion pounds of whole-cut animal meat industry, an untapped huge white space. Our patented technology and culinary skills have got us ready with popular whole-cut beef dishes made from ALCHEMEAT that don’t compromise on taste, texture, nutrition, and sustainability.
Are you passionate about offering consumers healthier food options? Do you love meeting new people, actively listening, and identifying opportunities for partnership? LusOasis is looking for a Sales Intern to support the growth of our B2B food service partnership and sales activities. The right candidate will be proactive, well-organized, excellent at communications (written and verbal), and excited to spread the word of ALCHEMEAT to potential food service accounts and customers.
