Job description

About Sifted

Sifted was founded in 2015 by Kimberly Lexow and Jess Legge with a bold vision - to reimagine office food as an experience rooted in hospitality, sustainability, and intentionality. What began as a modern take on workplace meals quickly evolved into a nationwide food platform that supports culture, community, and carbon-conscious choices across hundreds of companies. We're not a caterer - we're a workplace food partner. Our team is our secret sauce - a mix of hospitality pros, culinary experts, technologists, and innovators redefining what it means to build meaningful, stable, and opportunity-filled careers in hospitality. At Sifted, people stay, grow, and thrive - our team members remain with us three times longer than the industry average. We offer flexibility, generous perks, and room to grow - hiring builders, operators, creatives, and craftspeople who care about making work (and workplaces) better. At Sifted, our team culture mirrors the experiences we design for our clients:

• Creative Freedom: Everyone contributes ideas and shapes the future of our service.
• Hospitality-Driven: No matter your role, you're in service to someone - and that matters.
• Career Growth: We invest in internal mobility, mentorship, and hands-on learning.
• People First: We support flexible work, celebrate wins, and lead with empathy.
• Real Impact: Every day, your work reduces waste, improves lives, and connects people through food.

If you're passionate about great food, great people, and great purpose - we'd love to meet you.
