Customer Account Manager - NYC
Full timeABOUT NATOORA
Natoora is committed to revolutionizing the supply of fruit & vegetables and actively shaping the future of food for the better. We have spent over ten years connecting capital cities with flavors that would otherwise be lost forever. Delivering truly seasonal produce to over 1300 restaurants in London, New York, Paris and Milan, we count amongst our customers some of the world’s most influential chefs.
We also actively seek to re-educate the way people think about and consume fruit & vegetables. Our goal is to create a more meaningful and responsible food system that preserves seed varieties, growing techniques and traditions that are threatened by modern industrial farming and supermarket culture.
At the onset of the COVID pandemic we began offering home delivery directly to consumers. By supporting both the growers we source from and our local communities, Natoora acts as a vital link in the supply chain. We’ve maintained our relationships with restaurants and will continue serving both chefs and consumers long-term.
