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 and matures, we must grow the size of our delivery fleet, reduce overall delivery times, and optimize fleet utilization and courier retention. We also need to maximize diner outcomes (frequency, revenues, profitability) with levers such as delivery fee optimization. We need a resourceful, efficient, and insightful hustler who will deliver on the above metrics and manage the day-to-day tasks of local operations at Caviar, driving automation and standardization of those tasks to help Caviar scale in Philadelphia and beyond.

We are looking for a dynamic operations manager who has a savvy analytical mind and is constantly pushing to test, pilote, and innovate; this person should be able to balance working within existing product limitations and building a case for larger product changes. The right candidate will be able to independently identify trends in data and surface potential challenges before they become problems then create recommendations and strategies to address such issues. They will also be able to collaborate effectively across teams, and to build empathy and community with our large group of independent couriers. This candidate will also not be afraid to roll up sleeves and get into the day-to-day work to make sure the gears are turning on a rainy day. This will be primarily a logistics-focused role with a heavy emphasis on data analytics, communications, and product experimentation.

• Develop analytical frameworks, build models, and present structured thoughts to inform strategic decision-making
• Partner with General Manager (GM) to lead and execute strategic and tactical demand-side projects such as delivery pricing optimization
• Create, pilot, and scale operational tests. The Philadelphia market is your sandbox, and we expect you to drive results here - then use your resourcefulness, communication and relationship-building skills to share your learnings and drive adoption nationally
• Identify places to streamline and improve operations and help improve or innovate new processes
• Seek opportunities to share your results nationally by collaborating with other city operations, central operations and product teams and ensure that insights inform broader strategic initiatives.

Problem solving ability

• Strong problem-solving skills with keen ability to support decisions with data
