Description
About us:
We're Tovala, a food-tech company completely reinventing home cooking to save consumers time. Through an innovative combination of hardware, software, and food, we give our customers a way to enjoy really good, good-for-you meals without sacrificing time to do whatever matters to them. We've amassed a loyal, rapidly growing following in just a few years, radically changing the day-to-day lives of people across the country and successfully creating a new model for the food industry with best-in-class retention and LTV. We're looking for great people to join our team of hard-working, food-loving nerds.
Job description:
We're looking for an MBA Strategy Intern to support 2022 planning, Series D fundraising, and high value strategic projects. Responsibilities will include prioritization framework development, market research, competitive benchmarking, Series D fundraising and Annual Operating Plan (AOP) slide deck development, and deeper dive analyses supporting important new initiatives that do not live neatly in one department or team.
The ideal candidate is adept at working cross-functionally, synthesizing data into insights, and visual communication. You thrive in a fast pace, love to collaborate, and think like an owner in championing the most important work for the business. This is a high visibility role reporting directly to the VP of Strategy with exposure to Tovala's CFO, CEO, and senior leadership team.
How you'll spend your time at Tovala:

  • Support framework development and analysis for 2022 annual strategic planning
  • Own new program proposal development for high priority, cross-cutting initiatives
  • Support competitive research and storytelling materials for Series D fundraising

Requirements
About you:

  • You are currently pursuing your MBA degree
  • You have 2+ years of consulting experience
  • You are customer obsessed and work backwards from the customer - your relentless focus on a great customer experience is at the core of your every day work
  • You are a highly collaborative team player with low ego, an eagerness to learn, and ability to manage multiple stakeholders simultaneously
  • Data is your friend, creativity is your partner in crime - you balance analytical thinking with a creative curiosity
  • You possess strong communication skills and have experience in distilling detailed research into strategic recommendations via effective story-telling skills
  • You enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, require little oversight, work well under pressure and thrive in high ambiguity situations
  • You love food, whether that means cooking it, eating it, frequently pressing your nose against deli windows, or lusting after soft-serve on Instagram. All fair game.

An Insider's view of Tovala

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

At Tovala, one of our core values is leading full lives. We work hard, but also strive to create an organization that is “about time” and encourages people to prioritize their health, family, and life.

CFO

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

The Data Team at Tovala abides by these principles: 1. Be a person, not your job - Respect, kindness, and levity increase the success rate of collaborative projects. 2. Best answer wins - We care about the quality – not the source – of ideas. 3. Over-Communicate - We meticulously communicate progress, blockers, and changes – though we don't nag!

How does the company support your career growth?

I have grown with Tovala from packaging meals at one of our facilities to now analyzing data on the Ops team to ensure that our customers receive their meals on time! Over the past 3.5 years I have been promoted four times. I have had the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility, understand the business, and grow immensely!

What's something quirky about your company?

I know it sounds like a cliche when people say that their company is like a family, but truly Tovala is like my family. There’s so much care and respect among team members that motivates me and everyone always jumps right in to help. I’ve also had the privilege as an early member to see this team grow quickly and maintain the same caring culture.
