Principal

Bright Green Partners is a global alternative protein focused consulting house that was founded in 2020 and is dedicated to transforming meat and dairy production to solve some of the world's biggest challenges.

We work with leading global food and biotech companies and governments to help them navigate the emerging plant-based, fermentation-derived, and cultivated meat and dairy industries. Our services include strategy, innovation, and operational consulting, and we guide our clients from the initial stages of their journey all the way to large-scale production and market entry. 

We're a young and ambitious consultancy with a strong track record of growth and a range of satisfied global customers, including Kraft Heinz and Ajinomoto. Over the first 2.5 years of our organization, we established a robust foundation for our company, from proposal and business delivery procedures to finance and beyond.

Our processes draw from the best elements of large consulting and the specialized expertise of topic experts. In practice, our project management and general quality are similar to those of large consulting firms, while the depth of our insights is significantly more detailed. We achieve this by combining our in-house team of seven generalist consultants, many of whom come from top consulting firms like Bain and Kearney, with insights from our network of over 2,000 freelance experts we source on a project-by-project basis. 

We're looking for a motivated and skilled Principal to join our team and contribute to our mission of creating a more sustainable and resilient food system.

• To be successful in this role, you must have at least 5 years of experience working at a tier 1 or 2 management consulting firm or strategy consulting firm, such as Bain, BCG, McKinsey, or similar.  
• You should have worked as a project manager at a large consulting firm for at least 1 year, with experience executing, leading, and ideally supervising projects and proposals in the consulting industry. 
• You will be responsible for coordinating and leading project teams, including senior consultants and project managers, so it's essential to have experience managing project teams before. You should have strong communication skills and the ability to drive discussions and influence perspectives at the C-level. Excellent time management skills are also essential as this role involves many responsibilities and interactions with various stakeholders. 
• A passion for the alternative protein industry is a must-have for this role, demonstrating a deep personal interest and commitment to the field, as well as a willingness to stay informed and engaged with the latest developments and trends.
• It's a requirement to have a European work permit and live within Europe.  
• Ideally, you are located in the Netherlands and have a good understanding of alternative protein, food, or biotech industry. Additionally, holding a Master's degree is preferred for this role. 

• We're a team of highly passionate individuals who share a common goal of shaping the future of meat and dairy with a commercial focus.  
• We have a serious approach to our work but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We're a relatively small consultancy with an entrepreneurial spirit and look for people who enjoy such an environment. In other words, you'll need to book your flight tickets. 
• We're a remote company and value our employees' independence and flexibility.  
• We understand the importance of a good work-life balance and believe that it leads to better productivity and overall well-being.
