Inventory Placement Analyst • Passion Placement

El Segundo, CA

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

At Beyond Meat, we started with simple questions. Why do you need an animal to create meat? Why can’t you build meat directly from plants? Thus, we make plant-based meats that allow families to eat more, not less, of the traditional dishes they love while feeling great about the health, sustainability, and animal welfare benefits of plant protein. Our goal is to bring exciting change to the plate—and Beyond.

At Beyond Meat, we believe there is a better way to feed the planet and that the small changes we make can add up to make a big impact. By shifting from animal to plant-based meat, we can address four growing global issues: human health, climate change, constraints on natural resources, and animal welfare. Our delicious, sustainable, and nutritious products include plant-based burgers, beef, sausage, chicken and more. Join us and Go Beyond®!
