As we continue our rapid growth, we are excited to expand our team with an entrepreneurial and driven Sales Manager for the DACH region.

About revyve

Revyve is dedicated to developing high-value texturizing ingredients from yeast, aiming to replace animal-based ingredients like egg-whites and additives such as methylcellulose with sustainable vegan alternatives.

We are a diverse organization of 16-strong bright and fun members, valuing creativity, pragmatism and close collaboration.
