Impact Intern - Sir Kensington's

Job description

About Us – Please allow us to introduce ourselves

Sir Kensington's is best known for making condiments with character. We work to bring integrity and charm to ordinary and overlooked food. Beginning in 2010, we realized that while food was evolving, condiments weren't. So, we decided to make them better, starting with ketchup. Since then, we launched a full portfolio of condiments and dressings, and gained a cult following. Now, you can find the food we make in hundreds of leading restaurants, thousands of leading retailers, and millions of meal kit boxes across the country. But we're just getting started, and we need your help.

In April of 2017, Sir Kensington's joined Unilever, the leading progressive global consumer products company. With them, we're part of a family of global brands helping to define the future of good food and good business. With access to Unilever's resources and expertise, we will continue to operate independently from our SoHo headquarters.

About the Role –When you aren't eating this is what you will do…

Sir Kensington's Impact arm serves to push forward its social and environmental responsibility initiatives and ensures they are integrated with its core business and its growth. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a rapidly growing food business that is building its impact strategy from the ground up. As an intern you will work side-by-side with the Impact Strategy Manager to build this department's foundation. You will get to wear many hats, supporting cross-functional projects with other departments such as Supply Chain, Product, and Marketing, and experience working with our parent company Unilever, a multi-national global leader in sustainable business.

• Informing impact initiatives and sourcing decisions through information seeking, research, and benchmarking.

• Helping to build out our values-led sourcing framework and work towards traceability in our supply chain through supplier mapping, ingredient and certification research, and building business cases, such as for sustainable and ethical sourcing of categories such as spices.

• Helping develop a growth strategy for Sir Kensington's social impact program that will set us on a path to become advocacy leaders and develop strategic philanthropy programs.

• Supporting improvement on our B Corp performance through materiality assessment and short-term and long-term goal and objective setting.

• Finding opportunities to integrate our impact work with our social media and communications platforms. Assist in developing strategy and content to spread education and awareness to our followers and consumers.
