Fridge Operations, Supply Chain, Centralized Warehouse Operations, and third-party logistics providers to keep our fridge pipeline moving.
Success means ensuring fridges are installed on time, inventory is positioned where it's needed, removals happen efficiently, and operational blockers are resolved before they impact execution.

  • Track install progress, removals, and outstanding issues to improve operational visibility.
• Partner Across Teams

  • Communicate proactively with internal teams and external partners to resolve conflicts, answer questions, and keep projects moving

  • Support the continued evolution of Farmer's Fridge's install and removal governance processes.

Who You Are...

• 2-3 years of experience in logistics, operations, supply chain, warehouse operations, project coordination, or a related field.
