Head of Marketing

Mezcla is here to change the texture of the snack aisle, literally. In a world full of chewy, dense bars, we deliver crunch. Our crispy, airy snacks bring bold flavor and light satisfaction to every bite,the kind that tastes good and feels good.

We believe snacking should be joyful, not a compromise. That you shouldn’t have to pick between taste and texture, or flavor and function. Mezcla makes snacks that punch up your day, not weigh it down, with artistically packaged, inspired flavors and a signature crunch that’s anything but expected.

We’re growing fast and gearing up for a big brand transformation in 2026. Think: bold new creative, total brand refresh, and a sharper, tighter ecosystem from shelf to social.

That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Head of Marketing to help us take Mezcla to the next level, part brand builder, part creative operator, part full-funnel strategist. If you live for storytelling, get excited by a crunchy snack, and know how to connect culture with commerce, let’s chat.
