You pride yourself on your ability to expect the unexpected, always staying two steps ahead. Where others see chaos, you see opportunities to get organized, creating backup plans for your backup plans, because you have that rare ability to see the big picture and the details at the same time. You triple-check data fields and prioritize timelines like an air traffic controller at JFK International Airport. And you do it all with a calm sense of urgency that brings confidence to the rest of your team.

That's the kind of Logistics Analyst we're looking for at Vital Farms, because 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.
