Distribution Supervisor II

JazzHR, Cleveland, OH, United States


Overview

Farmer’s Fridge makes fruits and vegetables accessible and approachable for everyone. We offer fresh, healthy, ready-to-eat meals and snacks through our vending machines, wholesale partners, and office pantry solution — providing chef-curated meals to customers within seconds.

We care deeply about what we’re creating and aim to reflect that in every touchpoint. We prioritize food safety, quality, employee value, idea sharing, and positive impact as we scale.
