Job description

Hungryroot is using AI to build the most consumer-centric food and wellness company to ever exist. We are your personal assistant for healthy living. We get to know your goals, lifestyle, and budget, and we recommend and deliver healthy groceries, easy recipes and essential supplements for you and your family. It’s the easiest way to eat healthy, achieve your goals, save time, and discover new foods. Founded on the belief that food is the foundation of health, convenience should not mean compromise, and we’re all unique in how we eat and live, Hungryroot is building a future in which healthy living is easy and enjoyable.

We are a distributed team built on top talent from over 28 states across the U.S. While we have a headquarters in New York City, we support employees working from wherever they are based. We believe in fostering team connection and collaboration across all of our employees' locations. Expect to attend regular team building events and an annual company retreat. Expect to be treated like an owner who cares about our common goal, not someone who has to clock in and out of work.

About the role

We are seeking an experienced, highly organized and detail-oriented Procurement Associate to join our team and drive operational excellence within our fast-paced, high-growth environment. This individual will work closely with Hungryroot’s Director of Category Management, Category Managers, and Procurement Coordinator to optimize and own the end-to-end product onboarding lifecycle, enhance the integrity of our product databases, and lead vendor management strategies. The ideal candidate brings proven project management capabilities, thrives on improving and implementing scalable processes, and is a strong cross-functional communicator. You should be able to operate independently, prioritize with sound judgment, and drive critical outcomes that support both internal stakeholders and external vendor partners. A background or strong interest in food is preferred.

As part of a highly cross-functional role/team, you will partner closely with our supply chain, culinary, food safety, accounting, legal, and creative teams to drive results.

Responsibilities

• Own and maintain the integrity of product data across multiple internal tools and systems, including item attributes, pricing, vendor information, and regulatory documentation.
• Partner closely with Category Managers to lead vendor onboarding, proactively manage timelines and follow-ups, and provide strategic support across high-priority initiatives and cross-functional workflows.
• Serve as a key liaison for vendors, collecting accurate and complete product data, managing documentation requirements, and ensuring timely updates across internal systems.
• Oversee the execution of new item setup and launches across Hungryroot’s app and website, including timelines, stakeholder dependencies, and asset readiness.
• Coordinate with the Creative Team to ensure all product assets, including packaging and photography, are accurate and up-to-date. Manage product samples and packaging for both internal testing and external-facing creative needs.
• Support private label product development by collaborating with food safety, packaging design, and operations to ensure successful onboarding and regulatory compliance.
• Identify and implement improvements to sourcing workflows, tools, and systems, driving greater efficiency and scalability across the team.
• Collaborate with the Director of Category Management on broader team initiatives and strategic projects that support vendor partnerships, product expansion, and operational excellence.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of relevant professional experience in procurement, supply chain operations, project management, or related roles.
• Intermediate Excel skills (VLOOKUP, PivotTables, formulas); comfort working in data-heavy environments.
• Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Strong multitasking and prioritization abilities; thrives in a deadline-driven environment.
• Proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with a bias toward continuous improvement.
• Clear communicator with strong written and verbal skills.
• Passionate about food and the food industry.

Benefits

• Remote-first: work from home, work from our NYC office, work from anywhere in the U.S. - you decide!
• Equity
• Unlimited vacation policy
• Universal paid parental leave
• Comprehensive health, vision, dental, and life insurance
• Wellbeing benefits including One Medical, Spring Health, LiveHealth, Rightway care concierge, and more
• 401k with Match
• A work from home stipend to support your initial home-office setup

Expected Pay Range:
$60,000 - $80,000
