- Over the past 20 months, businesses all over the world have either adapted or shut shop. At Rebel Foods we were well positioned to take advantage of the events that played out. Going out to grab a meal became a no-go and ordering in became the go-to.

- As the pandemic continued to play out, the Launcher model took shape. The model allows brands to scale up quickly through a plug-and-play ecosystem - basically a platform on which brands can be onboarded and scaled rapidly.

About the role :

- As a Key Account Manager, you are positioned at the epicenter of the business relationship between Rebel & the Restaurant brand partner. Your role would entail understanding the overall business model, nurturing the relationship with the brands, driving expansion & revenue by suggesting growth initiatives across all aggregator platforms.

- You will be directly contributing to building the platform both from the demand as well as supply side.

- Summarizing, to really excel at this role, you will need to think like the owner of the businesses (accounts) that you manage. You would need to get into the DNA of the client's products and really understand the nitty gritty to be most effective. You would need to pre-empt demand surges, identify seasonality of the products, and manage cross-functional relationships within the Rebel organization.
