About us:

Farmer’s Fridge started with an idea in Chicago: make fresh, healthy food as accessible as a candy bar. Our handcrafted meals are delivered daily to over 200 software-enabled smart fridges and can be conveniently purchased at the fridge or using our mobile apps. We are based in the Fulton Market neighborhood and supported by $45 million in venture capital from prominent local and national firms, including leading technology investor Innovation Endeavors. We are building a world class team to drive fast growth and bring our wholesome, delicious foods to new markets and cities.

About the role:

As the Director of Customer Engagement, you will conceive, plan, test and scale activities across the customer lifecycle in order to convert trial traffic, maximize engagement, purchase frequency and overall lifetime value starting with their first fridge interaction. This includes managing multiple levers such as communications across all the customer experience (fridge, mobile app, website, SMS, and email); targeted incentives and loyalty programs; and working with peers in other departments to influence technology enhancements and data analysis.

What kind of person are we looking for?

• Obsessed with the customer to understand their needs and drivers and ensure we consistently delight them
• Hypothesis and data driven in order to inform the development of new tactics and approach every change as an opportunity for learning and insights

• Strong communicator who collaborates well across the company, including with product, design, data science, other parts of consumer and executive leadership
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with execution of plans and bias for action
