Will you write history with the development of your cheese from microbially obtained protein?

Job description:

  • Lead the cheese development activities with our microbially produced milk proteins
  • Leading the Food Science team
  • Create vegan cheese prototypes and characterize the chemical, physical and sensory properties
  • Managing the designed experiments in the lab/food kitchen, followed by data collection, data analysis and data interpretation
  • Coordinate and manage external research collaborations
  • Contribute to IP generation
  • Collaborate with the different departments (upstream and downstream processing) from a food and functionality perspective
  • Collaborate with our cheese expert consultants, as well as our external partners

Your profile:

  • Academic degree in Food Science or Food (Bio)technology
  • Min. 5 years experience in the field of food proteins
  • A good knowledge of (novel) food ingredients and their functionality (you know all about taste and texture)
  • An analytical mindset and the ability to translate research data into product development
  • Ability to think innovatively
  • A good team motivator and willing to take initiative to get projects accomplished
  • Flexible within a startup environment, able to take on a variety of tasks
Great communication, organization and collaborative skills

It's a plus, if you have:

  • Hands-on experience with developing novel products, and processes in dairy and/or alt-dairy
  • Experience in cheese manufacturing (traditional and/or vegan)
  • Handson experience with texture analysis, rheology, and emulsification techniques
  • Familiarity with novel food regulations

Why join:


Working as a Vegan Cowboy family member (cheesy but true), means excellent career perspectives in a rapidly growing field, your very own cowboy name (which yes, will be used) and proud ownership of a share in the company through our personnel participation program.

Shared with your colleagues, you will own 20% to be exact.
