Caviar is changing the way businesses and consumers order food from restaurants. We believe that everyone should have access to the best eateries in their city without any hassles. Want your favorite burger joint, but hate the traffic and long lines? We're a team of passionate foodies solving that exact problem for your home and office. At Caviar, we believe in an environment that allows you to be creative and go beyond the call of duty. We're looking for exceptionally talented individuals who want to learn and grow with the company. Each and every day counts - you'll make a direct impact to the business starting from Day 1.

As our business grows quickly, we must grow the size of our delivery fleet, reduce overall delivery times, and optimize fleet utilization and courier retention. We also want to build the highest quality fleet of couriers who love delivering with Caviar. We need a resourceful, efficient, and insightful hustler who will deliver results in the areas of courier turnout, retention, and quality. The Senior Operations Manager will manage the day-to-day tasks of local courier operations at Caviar New York while driving automation and standardization of those tasks to help Caviar scale in New York and beyond.

We are looking for a dynamic operations manager for a 6-month project beginning in early January 2019, to step in during a planned leave of absence. The right candidate has a savvy analytical mind and is constantly pushing to test, pilot, and innovate; this person should be able to balance working within existing product limitations and building a case for larger product or process changes. The right candidate will be able to independently identify trends in data and surface potential challenges before they become problems – then create and implement programs to address such issues. They will be able to collaborate effectively across teams, to build empathy and community with our large group of independent couriers, and pilot new ways to create a high-quality courier experience at scale. This will be a logistics-focused role with a heavy emphasis on using data to inform decisions, communication, and experimentation. A strong performer may have the potential to convert to full-time at the end of the contract.
