Job Description

Farmer’s Fridge makes fruits and vegetables accessible and approachable for everyone. We offer a variety of fresh, healthy, ready-to-eat meals and snacks through our fresh food vending machines, wholesale partners, and our office pantry solution — providing chef-curated meals to customers within seconds. Today, we operate a network of Fridges and partner with clients nationwide in high-foot-traffic areas, such as airports, hospitals, universities, and large office buildings — where there is limited accessibility to fresh, healthy, grab-n-go options.

We care deeply about what we’re creating and aspire to make sure our customers feel that through every touchpoint. This shows up in many ways across the business. We are committed to prioritizing food safety, we are passionate about product quality, we value our employees, we champion the best idea no matter where it comes from, and we’re committed to making an overall positive impact as we scale. 

About the Role: The Distribution Supervisor II is responsible for overseeing driver, fulfillment, and warehouse operations across the Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Detroit markets (and any additional new markets as they are launched). In our start-up environment, every day brings something new. You will lead day-to-day operations to ensure accurate, efficient, and safe order fulfillment while maintaining high service standards.
