Full description
The brands on your kitchen shelf are run by people doing extraordinary work that nobody sees.
We're building the platform they run on, and a brand they'll be proud to be part of.
Confido is the AI operating system that runs cash application, deductions, trade and planning in one place for CPG brands. That means Finance, Sales, and Ops finally work on the same number.
We’re trusted by 250+ brands managing $30B+ in revenue, including Daisy, OLIPOP, Simple Mills, Idahoan, and more. We've achieved best-in-class growth and recently raised a $55M Series B led by Insight Partners to accelerate our momentum.
If you want your work on shelves everywhere — and outsized ownership while you build — we'd love to meet you.
The Role
We’re hiring a Head of Foodservice to lead how Confido serves the channel. Foodservice brands often struggle to see who’s buying their products and connect that activity to what they’re owed and what they spend. You’ll help turn that visibility into automated order-to-cash, better trade planning, and recovered revenue – setting priorities with Product and Engineering, guiding our customer implementations, and shaping how Confido shows up in the foodservice market.
What You’ll Do
Product & Engineering
- Shape the foodservice roadmap with Product and Engineering, and set business priorities, validate designs, and ensure we're solving the most important foodservice challenges
- Turn foodservice processes into clear product requirements across integrations, pricing, billback validation, contracts and bids, GPO programs, accruals, and forecasting
- Synthesize customer feedback and market intelligence into actionable product insights
Customers
- Lead discovery and design sessions with foodservice brands, from AR and deductions teams to trade, sales, and operations leaders
- Guide customers through foodservice implementation on Confido, and train brands on how to manage their foodservice business in the platform, from validating billbacks to planning spend
- Act as the go-to foodservice expert and partner with Customer Success to shape QBR messaging and address escalations related to complex foodservice problems
Go-to-Market
- Be Confido's voice in foodservice with customers, prospects, partners and at industry events
- Collaborate with sales and marketing teams on discovery calls, deal support, content, and webinars
- Track shifts in how brands, distributors, and GPOs price, plan and operate, and turn them into insights for the broader team
