We’re a small but growing food company focused on Japanese-style postpartum foods— handcrafted, healing, and made with intention. We’re looking for a teammate to assist our cooks in production in our licensed commercial kitchen--mostely with clean-up, but with some food prep if you are able! We may also need ad-hoc assistance with all different matters for events, photoshoots and other startup activities.
This is an entry level position with no experience required. If you are someone passionate about supporting new mothers and families, someone who thrives in a fast-paced startup enviornment, and likes to wear multiple hats, we’d love to hear from you.
(You can also apply for our Fullfillment Associate position if you are interested in both roles to increase overall hours)
