Pinto is building the world’s smartest food data platform, with a mission of making food data fully personalized, transparent, and easily accessible for both consumers and businesses alike. Over 40% of Americans now follow a specific dietary eating pattern, and our data platform is organizing the world of food at scale across every dimension that matters to these modern consumers (ingredients, allergies/intolerances, diets, personalized health needs, etc.). The era of personalization is here and we’re building Pinto to power it 🍓📊.

We are currently onboarding and analyzing a massive amount of new products onto our data platform, and this requires ongoing data capture by our field teams across the United States. To support these efforts, we’re looking for a highly detail-oriented Operations Associate to join our team as we continue to scale our product database and our related data capture systems/teams. As an Operations Associate, you’ll be a core project manager of our field teams, you’ll help oversee the development, testing, and refinement of our data capture technologies, and you’ll help ensure all product data comes into our system with an exceptional and consistent quality.

This is an amazing opportunity for someone looking to join in the early stages of a rapidly growing technology startup solving a meaningful problem in food and the broader world of personalization in nutrition and consumer products.

About Us

Pinto is a smarter food data platform, designed for the needs of today's consumers in the world of personalized diet. To do this, we're rapidly bringing the world of food online and making it personalized across every dietary need and preference — everything from general diets like Vegan, Paleo, Keto, Heart Health, and Mediterranean, to the long tail of ingredient and allergen considerations like Lactose Free, Gluten Free, Nut Free, and No Added Sugars. Over 40% of Americans now follow a specific dietary eating pattern, and our data platform is organizing the world of food at scale with partners that include Whole Foods and Kroger.

For businesses, we work with industry partners (retail/CPG) to 1) rapidly digitize large product inventories and 2) organize these inventories across every granular need and preference that matters to a modern consumer — from every allergen and intolerance to the long tail of diets (like Paleo, Gluten-Free, Keto, etc.), conditions, certifications, nutrition preferences and much more. 

Current retail partners include Whole Foods, Kroger, and more. Learn more about Pinto and the technologies we power: http://business.pinto.co
