Who We Are

We are a food manufacturing startup, Orange and Fifth, currently in the "build" phase. We don’t have a 500-page SOP manual or a dedicated department for every task. What we do have is a vision, a facility, and a lot of work to do before our early-2027 launch. Led by a seasoned entrepreneur with a previous successful exit in food manufacturing, we are launching a fresh snack brand and looking for a foundational team member who views "lack of structure" as an opportunity to build it themselves. You aren't waiting for a task list; you are creating it. This role begins as a generalist "fixer" and is intended to evolve as we scale.

What You’ll Do

Through the remainder of 2026, your "typical day" doesn't exist. You will be responsible for:

• Systems & Finance: Building complex costing spreadsheets, managing initial budgets, and translating data into professional PowerPoint decks for stakeholders.
• Logistics & Admin: Handling office setup, reviewing vendor contracts, and managing the nitty-gritty of facility logistics.
• Supply Chain: Sourcing and ordering raw ingredients, vetting suppliers, and managing early-stage inventory.
• R&D Support: Organizing product testing runs and—yes—getting your hands dirty on the production floor during trial runs.
• Process Design: Helping us decide how we work by implementing the first iterations of our scheduling and procurement workflows.

Who You Are

• Highly Technical: You have a degree in Accounting, Finance, Computer Science, Engineering or a related field. You think in logic and spreadsheets.
• The "Figure-It-Out" Factor: You are comfortable with ambiguity. If you don't know the answer, you’ll find it before anyone even realizes there was a question.
• Food/Manufacturing Savvy: You have a background in manufacturing (ideally food). You understand the pace, the safety standards, and the nuances of a production environment.
• Meticulous: You have a "measure twice, cut once" mentality. Small details in a contract or a recipe matter to you.
• Multitasker: You can pivot from a high-level financial model to moving a pallet jack in the same hour without losing your cool.
• Team Player: You have the ability to work collaboratively with others both internally and externally, with a keen focus on building successful partnerships and long-term positive relationships through communication, candor, and healthy conflict.
