About the role:

As a key member of our team in Cologne, you will be responsible for expanding Saltz App’s presence in this strategically important market. You will help us grow our community of partners by bringing the platform to even more of Cologne’s most ambitious kitchens - most ambitious kitchens, from neighbourhood lunch spots and casual concepts to Michelin-starred restaurants, chef-driven venues, and event caterers.

Join Saltz App now to shape our entire GTM strategy with direct access to founders, investors, and international peers. The position is full-time.

About us:

At Saltz, we believe the all the ingredients kitchens need should be available in one marketplace. For too long, the culinary world has been tangled in a web of distributors and hidden costs, separating chefs from the producers who make their work possible. We’re changing that.

Saltz is the digital marketplace where quality and creativity connect directly. We empower chefs to discover and source an incredible variety of fresh ingredients, from local farms to international craftsmen, with complete transparency. For producers, we unlock a global market overnight. An oyster farm can join Saltz today and be selling to hundreds of restaurants across six countries by tomorrow. That’s the power of our platform.

We are a VC-backed, fast-growing startup, and we’re unapologetically ambitious. Our vision is to connect thousands of suppliers with thousands of chefs across hundreds of cities, creating a new, efficient, and transparent ecosystem for fresh food.

We’re not for everyone. We’re for the entrepreneurs, the builders, and the optimists who excel when the recipe playbook is still being written.
