About Abe’s Vegan Muffins

Abe’s Vegan Muffins is the #1 best-selling brand of vegan and allergy-friendly baked goods in the U.S. The real Abe was born with a serious food allergy to peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, dairy, soy, and sesame. So his dad and uncle (our company founders) set out to make a line of delicious muffins, cakes, and brownies that all kids (and parents!) can enjoy together. Our crowd-pleasing recipes are what have made us so successful. Learn more at www.abesmuffins.com.

About Our Culture

We are a founder-run, independently owned company that has grown to be a successful consumer brand, with our products distributed at Whole Foods, Target, and many other grocers.

As a natural foods manufacturer, we take pride in our on-site day-to-day operations at our bakery facility in West Nyack, NY (~30-40 mins outside of New York City). Thus, we expect admin & management roles to be with us on-site during the week.

As Abe’s continues to scale, your role will be to help solidify our brand as a household name by driving awareness of our brand and availability of our products. The role reports directly to the Head of Marketing. The person in this role has the opportunity to make their mark and build a legacy within a fun, purpose-led, and growing company.
