When it comes to logistics , you know accuracy is everything. It’s all about the numbers—knowing them, tracking them, double-checking them, and making sure everything lines up and ends up exactly where it needs to be.

Because here’s the deal—at Vital Farms, we’re on a mission to bring ethical food to the table, one thoughtfully sourced ingredient at a time. While we’re best known for our pasture-raised eggs—giving our hens 108 square feet to roam and calling bullsh t on terms like “cage-free” and “free-range”— we’re just getting started. We give a cluck about the health of our animals, the wellbeing of our customers, and the future of our planet. If that sounds like something you care about too, let’s talk about how you can help us stay organized and make a meaningful impact as our new Logistics & Production Coordinator.

You’ve got egg- ceptional communication skills that help you juggle shifting priorities, and you’re not afraid to take ownership. At the end of the day, you understand you're the final checkpoint—ensuring every pallet, product, and piece of paperwork is accurate , accounted for, and ready to go.
