Content Creation Intern
Algi creates delicious, purpose-driven food products centered around algae. Our mission is to create sustainable food products using clean and simple ingredients that are delicious, and accessible to all. Our products will help facilitate the adoption of spirulina algae into the mainstream market.
We are the first company in Canada to create an entire food product line centered around algae! We see ourselves as trailblazers in the budding sustainable food industry and have big ambitions to address climate change and food insecurity through algae-based foods. We are an agile, early-stage start-up founded in 2019 and are looking for a like-minded summer intern to help us market and sell our first products, the IMPACT Bar and Algi Spirulina.
This will not be like a typical nine to five role. We work in a fast-paced environment where everyday is filled with new challenges and new opportunities to advance our business forward. If you’re interested in getting a holistic business perspective, are a quick learner, and an ambitious doer, this is the role for you! Please don’t hesitate to ask clarification questions about this role. Please send all questions to info@algifoods.com.
