One stop solution to your remote job hunt!

Title: Director of Logistics

Location: Remote

Quality and leadership have always been your two most important tenets. In fact, you’ve been striving for them since infancy. It all started with the time you eschewed the holiday’s hottest toy and asked Santa for sheets with a high thread count; all because your current set of bunnies and bears just didn’t meet your standards. You insisted on a quality product that was made right from the start and was handled with care. And leadership. Whew! You had a knack for leading on your first day of second grade, which, coincidentally was the day you gave the crossing guard tips on how to manage the flow of pedestrians with more confidence and authority. And that was just the start. Ever since those days you’ve continued to study leadership and best-in-class techniques and you apply them to every facet of your life, including tricky conversations with your internet cable company.

That’s the kind of Director of Logistics we’re looking for at Vital Farms because, you see, we’re on a mission to change the food industry one ethically-sourced ingredient at a time. While we’re known for our pasture raised eggs – giving our hens 108 square feet to roam and calling bullsh*t on terms like cage free and free range – the truth is we’ve got big plans to do so much more. That’s because we give a cluck when it comes to the health of our animals, the health of our customers, and the health of our planet.
