Country Manager - U.S. expansion

Vilgain – Clean food. Real ingredients. Global ambition.

We’re Vilgain — a European startup on a mission to make clean, honest food the new standard. Already loved by thousands across Europe, we’re now bringing our vision to the United States.

At Vilgain, we remove harmful additives and ultra-processed ingredients from everyday products — offering healthier alternatives to favorites like Nutella, Snickers, and many others.

If you’re an ambitious person who knows the U.S. retail and logistics game, believes in real food and a healthy lifestyle, and enjoys doing things differently — this is your chance to lead our U.S. launch from day one. This isn’t just a job — it’s your runway to build something meaningful, with full trust, freedom, and real impact.

This role is fully remote and open to candidates based anywhere in the United States. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Drive meaningful change with us. Join Vilgain!
