We focus on categories where microbial innovations and microbiome-related products will disrupt and capture global market share in the coming years (e.g. oral care, skin care, infant health, etc.). We have built a strong foundation with breakthrough research and strong intellectual property, and believe there is a substantial opportunity to emerge as an innovative product line, backed by the most rigorous science.

We are building our best-in-class operations team to be both the mitochondrial engine of our rapidly expanding ecosystem, but also the cytoplasmic glue that keeps us all cohesively and efficiently connected - working together to improve human and planetary health.

You will report to, and support, our Director of Supply Chain in protecting our micro-organisms and ensuring that our customers enjoy an absolutely seamless experience across our current and future products. You are a problem solver. You have monk-like patience and can remain calm in the eye of the storm, while quickly, but methodically, finding a way to safety and balance. You are a great listener, embrace finding solutions while others panic, and will not rest until you understand every detail that caused an issue, and have implemented a redundant, risk-free system to ensure it never occurs again.

We know operations can mean a lot of things, which means you need to be ready for, and excited to solve, anything. You know that Murphy's Law is the poetry of growth and innovation, and not something to be feared. You understand the complexities and nuances of our business, and how to move projects and key improvements cross-functionally across various internal stakeholders. You can prioritize, manage, and successfully drive fixes across hundreds of projects at once. You work nimbly within a network of suppliers and partners respectfully, while holding them accountable down to the tiniest promises they make to Seed and our customers.
