Vice President, Operations

As the VP Operations, you will be wholly responsible for all warehousing, distribution and transportation function. Hence, you will have a deep well of expertise to draw upon within these disciplines, often referred to as an “expert” amongst your peer group. Ripe for change and rife with areas for improvement, you will have experience with change management and possess a keen eye for process design and optimization! Implementing industry leading best practices, spearheading transformative change, your continuous improvement efforts, in this case, result not in more dollars in corporate coffers but in more families sitting down to a healthy and fulfilling meal.

Experience with perishables, expiry dates and other such food related regulations and requirements is very important. A background in various types of warehousing environments is also a huge asset; such as the complexities associated with cooler space and the bone chilling realities that come with freezer storage.

You will be an agile thinker and nimble in your approach to volatility, uncertainty and variance. Each day has unique challenges, very few shipments will be consistent day to day or week to week and more often than not that which you are expecting is different from what you actually receive… drive optimization and deliver food to the city.

As transportation also falls under your purview, you will be strong in fleet management, routing, drivers, etc. etc.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you will be a talented and charismatic leader who has a knack for guiding, directing and empowering highly effective teams (inclusive of an ongoing volunteer workforce), as well as a interacting and engaging with external stakeholders.
