We are looking for a Manager of Operations & Strategy who will act as a trusted advisor for the executive team and add immediate impact to our company’s evolving strategic, operational, and business development priorities. In this role, you will facilitate cross-functional strategic projects and ensure action items are executed on behalf of the CEO.

Reporting to our CEO, and working closely with our Creative/Brand, Operations, and Growth teams, you will think outside the box about how we can continuously innovate and respond to market activity to grow our company both now and in the future. You will be hands-on with nearly every facet of the company, from creative & brand, to food science & manufacturing, to external partnerships, to customer testing.

As a go-getter and strategic thinker, you love solving challenging problems, ranging from the most granular to the biggest-picture. You are relentlessly resourceful and enjoy a dynamic, unpredictable environment. You are an effective prioritizer with excellent communication skills and a passion for food and the environment. Most importantly, you can’t wait to join a fast-paced, dynamic, quickly-growing company and shape the future, not just of the company, but also of our world.

WHO YOU ARE

Professional Experience:

• 3+ years of professional working experience with strategy consulting, investment banking, finance, and/or business operations.
• Experience in the food & beverage industry and/or environmental & sustainability, a plus.
• Experience working at a high-growth startup, a plus.

Defining Attributes:

You have a passion for food / consumer goods, sustainability & environmental impact, and entrepreneurial environments. You’re passionate, or at least curious, about how the food & beverage industry can make an impact on climate change, human health, biodiversity and food systems.

You can wear (and love wearing) a lot of different hats, and solving problems across many cross-functional areas. You want to be involved in both the long-term strategy, and the day-to-day grind that keeps the stoke high at a company.

You have an extremely high attention to detail — you are able to analyze and distill data, providing high-level insights to make strategic decisions and execute on them.

You are a self-starter — you have the ability to take a birds-eye, cross-functional view and plug in to fill any company holes from a strategic perspective.

You love solving challenging problems and implementing processes and workflows to create order, structure, and efficiency.

You’re a phenomenal communicator, and consider this to be one of your greatest strengths. You are the epitome of a team player – positive, empathetic, personable, and motivating.
