About Muyu

MUYU exists to revive the world’s forgotten and underused crops — starting with native quinoa and tarwi from the Andes — and reimagine them as the foods we urgently need today.

​

Our mission is simple: to untap the potential of underused and forgotten plants to create the category-disrupting plant-based beverages of the future. In doing so, we aim to:

​

• Support farming communities, especially indigenous protectors of the land

• Restore circular agriculture that regenerates soils and biodiversity

• Preserve food diversity for future generations.

​

We are launching Muyu MilQ, the first plant-based milk made with Quinoa and Tarwi. But we see this as just the beginning- this is a movement to transform our food system, one forgotten plant at a time.

​

Ancient foods have been disappearing from farms and plates for generations. Putting them back into our diets not only brings unique nutritional benefits (from stress relief to brain health) but also restores ecosystems, livelihoods, and the connection between people and the land. With every cup of Muyu MilQ, we’re rebuilding a more diverse, sustainable, and nourishing future.

​

About the Job

We’re looking for a Chief Growth Officer & Co-Founder who is ready to roll up their sleeves and help us bring Muyu MilQ- the first plant-based milk made with quinoa and tarwi- to the world. This is not just a job—it’s an invitation to help shape the future of food.

​

You’ll be at the forefront of our commercial growth and fundraising strategy: driving sales across cafés, retailers, and ecommerce, while also raising capital, building investor confidence, and setting up the capabilities and team needed to scale.

Your main goal: get Muyu MilQ into the hands (and cups) of as many people as possible and help secure the resources to fuel our growth.

​

Who You Are

• Skilled at presentations, Excel/financial modeling, and CRM tools.

• Driven by a passion for sustainability, wellness, and impact.

​

Our Commitment to Diversity

We believe that building a diverse founding team will make Muyu MilQ stronger. We strongly encourage candidates from underrepresented backgrounds in startups and venture capital spaces to apply.

​

Commitment & Lifestyle

This is a full-time, founder-level role with a flexible schedule and remote setup. Regular travel will be part of the adventure—meeting clients, attending events, and helping us grow.

​

How We’ll Work Together

You’ll join founders Alexander Wankel and Ricardo Caceres as part of the core founding team. Together, we’ll be accountable to our investors and board of directors—but more importantly, to our mission.

​

Why Join?

Because you don’t just want another job—you want to build something meaningful. You want to wake up every day knowing that your work is helping redefine food, support sustainable agriculture, and reduce our footprint on the planet.
