Partnership Marketing Manager

Job Title: Partnership Marketing Manager

Department: Brand Marketing 

Reports to: Senior Director, Brand Management 

Location: Remote (USA)

Ancient Nutrition is rooted in our founders’ own personal health journeys and a desire to make history’s most powerful superfoods accessible to everyone. But what started as a mission to create high-quality supplements – ones informed by ancient wisdom, backed by modern science and that the world had never seen before – has grown into a steadfast commitment to transform the way we grow our food. 

Because growing the world’s most nutrient-dense superfoods requires the healthiest soil possible and conventional farming is harming both the planet and its people. That’s why we’re on a much larger mission to restore our farmlands and heal our planet through organic regenerative farming practices that give back to the Earth – not just take from it– leaving it better than we found it for future generations to thrive.
