Job Description

Afresh is on a mission to eliminate food waste and make fresh food accessible to all. Our first A.I.-powered solution optimizes ordering, forecasting, and store operations for fresh food departments in brick-and-mortar grocers. With our Fresh Operating System, regional and national grocery retailers have placed $1.6 billion in produce orders across the US and we've helped our partners prevent 34 million pounds of food from going to waste. Working at Afresh represents a one-of-a-kind opportunity to have massive social impact at scale by leveraging uncommonly impactful software – we hope you'll join us!

About the Role

As a Deployment Lead, you will be accountable for integrations and launches with all of our retail partners. You will build effective partnerships with our customers' Operations, Merchandising, and leadership teams to drive the success of our end-to-end deployments. You will also build relationships with the in-store produce managers, training them to use the Afresh operating system to write great orders! Internally, you'll lead our integrations cross-functionally and contribute to the playbook for our team so we can continue to perform successful deployments with future customers and in future departments at an even larger scale.

You have customer-facing experience, are structured and have strong project management skills, and love driving projects to completion in a fast-paced environment; you are excited to reduce fresh food waste in the grocery industry, too!
