About Us – Please allow us to introduce ourselves

Sir Kensington's makes 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 mayonnaise, mustard, and Fabanaise, and gained a cult following. Now, you can find our condiments in hundreds of leading restaurants, thousands of leading retailers, and millions of meal kit boxes across the country. But we're just getting started. We aim to be America's leading natural condiment brand, 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…

We are determined to punch well above our weight and to catapult the brand forward with our unique blend of integrity and charm.

About You – Necessary ingredients

You are first and foremost entrepreneurial in nature. You want to do good in this world and still haven’t given up that you might be able to do it for a living. You are curious, tenacious, creative yet results-driven. You most likely come from the food world but if not, we’d love to hear about your applicable success. It is pretty likely you will have spent considerable time in Public Relations or similar space of relationships, celebrity and influence. You are a rabid networker and probably are known as “the connector” within your circles, putting people together that should know each other. The right candidate is not a “salesperson” but rather, a builder of connections, finding and nurturing high-value relationships. And you are pretty darn likeable (so are we, btw).
