Farmer’s Fridge is on a mission to make it simple for everyone to eat well. We serve healthy, handcrafted meals and snacks from our growing network of 400+ Smart Fridges (software-enabled vending machines). We are striving to change the food system from the ground up – one Fridge or delivery at a time. 

We are a team that cares -– about the business, the impact our product makes, and each other. We are data-driven, innovative, and quick to move on a good idea. We are looking for people who want to collaborate in an entrepreneurial, inclusive culture and have a passion to succeed.

We are in the early stages of building the merchandising practice at Farmer’s Fridge and we have a lot of exciting initiatives underway. We’re looking to add an experienced Planner to the Merchandising team who is curious, analytical and takes initiative. You will be the 2nd hire in the department, which will effectively double our firepower to execute merchandising strategies. You’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves to solve a problem, learn by failure and balance agile decision making with thoughtful analysis. We are a highly collaborative department that interfaces with nearly all teams across the organization (menu/operations, sales, marketing, insights, technology) with a common goal of driving customer trials and increasing customer lifetime value across the channels we serve.

The merchandising mantra is to get the right products, at the right place, at the right time, for the right price. Our goal at Farmer’s Fridge is to do this well at hundreds of thousands of locations, across millions of transactions while delivering automated and actionable insights to improve the experience.
