Growth Lead (Operations + Partnerships)

Start: April 2026 (earlier possible if a great fit)Reporting to: Founder About SeedFutureSeedFuture helps bring high-quality, responsibly produced products from Asia to premium markets (such as Singapore and selective cities in the US and Europe) by translating on-the-ground practices into clear, buyer-ready offers. Our current focus is on coffee and cacao, with the potential to add other sustainably grown, export-grade products over time.We also design and run curated learning journeys for high-end audiences—leaders in F&B, hospitality, corporate sustainability, as well as impact-driven funders. These are immersive, on-the-ground experiences that help participants understand the places behind the products, build real trust with origin partners, and move from interest to action. Our current journeys are centered in Indonesia and China.We work closely with producer and processor partners, and with roasters, high-end hospitality groups and restaurants, impact-driven funders (such as foundations) in key markets. We’re not a trading or distribution company—our partners handle the importing, fulfillment, and delivery.
