WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOU!

RESPECTfarms is a start-up in the cellular agriculture industry with headquarters in the Hague. With a long history in cultivated meat, our vision is to sustainably transform our food system by integrating the best out of the conventional and the cellular agriculture industry. We therefore see ourselves as system integrator in this industry. Our goal is to be the first cellular agriculture farm worldwide. At the end of 2025, we will set up the first pilotfarm, aiming to productize and commercialize by 2028. The goal is to develop a blueprint for rollout, transforming 1000 farms by 2038. Over the past years, we researched the feasibility, viability and desirability of cultivated meat farming together with a consortium. We are now confident to build up a first facility.

For the concept of decentralized production of cultivated meat at a farm, the context in which a bioreactor should operate differs from many of the current design and design approaches of existing technology. It’s not about factory scale and pharma; it is about farm scale and food production. For our first pilotfarm, we have the best partners on board, a digital prototype is ready, we know where we will built and with whom. Now, we need to make our plans a reality. We need the brightest people on board and we invite you to join our team.

We are looking for a long-term sparing partner to build, optimize and commercialize the first pilotfarm. Part of your role is making this plan a reality, building a blueprint (in the Netherlands) and then rolling out on many locations worldwide. We are looking at mid-scale production and need to specifically design our product "cultivated meat farms" for farmers. Some of the responsibilities include:

• Setting up, running and optimizing a production facility
• Engineering a cultivated meat farm and productization for rollout (blueprint)
• Leading the R&D team
• Responsible for R&D roadmap: reaching technical and business milestones (connected to targeted cell densities, cost reductions in equipment and consumables)
• Leading final decision making of technology to be acquired and used at the cultivated meat farm
• Working together with diverse consortium partners working on different parts of the technology to be placed, assembled and integrated (by us) on the farm

• Experience in setting up lab or production facility
• Experience in Cellular Agriculture
• 5y+ working experience
• Ambition to grow into a long-term sparing partner for the board
• Able to lead a team and work with a very diverse consortium
• Energetic, out-of-the-box thinker, enthusiastic, driven
• Technical background / Engineer
• Master or PhD
• Scientific /Engineering experience in cellular agriculture or related field
