About Tocha
Tocha is a Vancouver born company producing hot sauce without the heat. We make bold, balanced sauces designed for flavour instead of extreme spice.
About the role
As a Brand Ambassador, you’ll be the face of Tocha at sampling sessions across a designated region (Langley, White Rock and Surrey).
