About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced Produce Buyer to take full ownership of our fresh produce and perishable categories.

  • 5+ years of retail or wholesale produce buying experience; food retail background with produce technical knowledge strongly preferred
  • In-depth knowledge of fresh produce availability, seasonality, and quality standards
  • Knowledge of sustainable, organic agriculture and Pacific Northwest regional growing regions strongly desired
  • Bachelor's degree in business, supply chain, agriculture, marketing, or related field — or equivalent experience
  • Proven experience with purchasing ERP systems; NetSuite experience a plus
  • Strong analytical skills with high attention to detail; proficient in Microsoft Excel
  • Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to prioritize in a fast-paced environment
  • Comfortable working across office, ecommerce, warehouse, and cold-storage environments
  • Offer contingent on a successful background check
Working Conditions
  • Full-time, Monday-Friday with flexibility to support the team as business needs evolve
  • Daily time spent in a refrigerated warehouse and produce cooler environment
  • Occasional travel for grower/vendor visits or industry events within WA and Portland, OR markets, with seasonal travel to growing regions as needed
Summary Let’s get to the Benefits
  • Medical Insurance
  • Vision Insurance
  • 401(k) Retirement Plan with company match
