Posted on May 21, 2024
At Shef, we are building a homemade food marketplace. We believe in providing the shefs in our community (refugees, immigrants, stay-at-home parents, retirees and out-of-work restaurant chefs) the opportunity to make a meaningful income by doing what they love! We also believe that every person should have access to a wholesome, home-cooked meal at an affordable price. Building a community devoted to economic empowerment and cultural inclusivity -- that's why we started Shef.
We are committed to reimagining home cooking around the country to empower everyone to make meaningful incomes by feeding their neighbor and have raised over $100m from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, Craft Ventures, and M13, as well as founders and executives from Instacart, TaskRabbit, StubHub, AngelList, Lyft, Airbnb, and Yelp. We have a ton of exciting work ahead of us and are excited to have you join us!
We are looking for a strategy & operations manager who loves hard, physical operations, is excited by market-level P&Ls, and is eager to execute on daily hub operations.
Your role will be on a small team with ownership of US market P&L, hub operations, ops coordinator team management, and delivery operations. It’s an exciting role for an individual who is execution-focused, analytically-minded, and is not afraid to jump into the trenches and get their hands dirty. The role requires being in office 3 days a week, and occasional travel (a couple times a quarter) to visit operations on the ground.
Your Responsibilities
- Own day-to-day hub management of our five US markets: Bay Area, New York, LA, Seattle, and Chicago. You are responsible for the market running effectively and with minimal error.
- Manage hub logistics, inventory management, and trust and safety.
- Manage a team of eight part-time and full-time operations coordinators, and create systems of redundancies and backup.
- Design, implement, and analyze initiatives aimed at efficiency and hub operations.
- Reduce operational burden for yourself and your team by automating tasks through internal tools and scripts.
- Build and roll out processes designed to support market management.
- Analyze data in Excel to manage the P&L and draw insights. Ideally, pull data using SQL into spreadsheets to extract insights that will guide the business forward.
- Collaborate with cross-functional team members to implement new processes in order to service product-market-fit or growth-oriented initiatives
- Serve as a backup to the Strategy & Operations Manager of Delivery Operations, collaborating to address delivery issues as they arise.
What You Bring To The Role
- Bachelor's degree in any of the following fields: operations, engineering, or similar
- 3+ years of experience in operations and track record of being an operational problem solver
- Strong people management skills, able to manage a team of hourly workers with leadership and empathy
- Keen sense of ownership, where no task is too small or out of your purview
- Capacity to take initiative in an evolving work environment while maintaining flexibility and a collaborative attitude while getting things done
- Data-driven decision-making mentality and sound business judgment through strong analytical thinking
At Shef, we are building a platform that celebrates difference and cultural inclusivity by providing equitable opportunities for economic empowerment and by reimagining food making and sharing in our 21st century world.
