About the company:

WE BELIEVE THERE’S A BETTER WAY TO FEED OUR FUTURE.

By shifting from animal to plant-based meat, we can positively affect the planet, the environment, the climate and even ourselves. After all, the positive choices we make every day – no matter how small – can have a great impact on our world.

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

At Beyond Meat, we started with simple questions. Why do you need an animal to create meat? Why can’t you build meat directly from plants? Thus, we make plant-based meats that allow families to eat more, not less, of the traditional dishes they love while feeling great about the health, sustainability, and animal welfare benefits of plant protein. Our goal is to bring exciting change to the plate—and Beyond.

The Director of Global Compensation is both strategic and tactical in nature and will involve working as a project leader, a collaborator partner, and a team member. The Director of Global Compensation will focus on bringing excellence and to establish thoughtful compensation solutions that fuel an agile, innovative, collaborative, high-performing, and mission-oriented people culture.

The successful candidate will lead and drive our compensation strategy and tactics with an innovative approach and a continuous improvement mindset. This person will continue to evolve the compensation philosophy and design. You will design programs and initiatives that match Beyond Meat’s maturation journey as a company and reflect its value proposition and culture. You will bring thought leadership and thought partnership to the People Team to provide our employees with a fulfilling and rewarding experience. You will show a keen interest and understanding of the competitive environment for attracting, developing, and retaining talent. You will build on our current compensation programs with the goal of building data-driven, robust, scalable tools, and processes to serve our people and organization.
