Executive / Senior Executive – Projects

About Us:

We are surrounded by the world's leading consumer companies led by technology - Amazon for retail, Airbnb for hospitality, Uber for mobility, Netflix and Spotify for entertainment, etc. Food & Beverage is the only consumer sector where large players are still traditional restaurant companies. At Rebel Foods, we are challenging this status quo as we are building the world's most valuable restaurant company on the internet, superfast.

The opportunity for us is immense due to the exponential growth in the food delivery business worldwide which has helped us build - The World's Largest Internet Restaurant Company in the last few years. Rebel Foods current presence in 10 countries (including India, Indonesia, UAE, UK, Malaysia, Singapore, Bangladesh) with close to 50 brands and 4500+ internet restaurants has been built on The Rebel Operating System.

While for us it is still Day 1, we know we are in the middle of a revolution towards creating never seen before customer-first experiences. We bring you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to disrupt the 500-year-old industry with technology at its core.
