Job description

Insomnia Cookies started as a big dream in a tiny university dorm room in the US city of Philadelphia, amongst a group of friends, up late, craving something sweet and delicious. With very limited takeout options available (this was back in 2003!), our founder, Seth, took matter into his own hands. Fast forward 20 years and so... many... cookies later, Insomnia Cookies has become a cult brand known for its rabid following of cookie lovers who crave warm, delicious delivery all day and late into the night.

We’re now very excited to bring our late-night favourite to Ontario and we are actively interviewing candidates for the SHIFT LEAD role at our newly opening Ottawa location. We’re not just a cookie company – we’re a community of Insomniacs. We know our cookies are the most delicious around, but it’s our team members that make Insomnia Cookies an amazing place to be. Have a hunger to succeed? A passion for the sweeter things in life? Got big dreams and a ceaseless imagination? Then we want to get to know YOU!
