Thrive Market • Dallas, TX

About The Position

We are seeking a collaborative and proactive Safety Manager to lead safety,
compliance, and risk management for a new Thrive Market E-commerce Fulfillment
Center launch in Dallas, TX.

This is a unique opportunity to play a foundational role in Thrive Market’s
continued growth as we expand our fulfillment network into a new region. The
Dallas launch represents a critical milestone for the business, supporting
increased member demand, improving delivery speed, and strengthening our
national footprint. This role will be instrumental in ensuring that safety is
not only built into the site from day one, but scales effectively alongside the
operation.

As part of a new site launch, you will build and operationalize safety programs
from the ground up - defining frameworks, establishing KPIs, and creating the
systems, tools, and processes needed to drive consistent execution. You will
partner cross-functionally with Operations, People Ops, and site leadership to
ensure safety is embedded into workflows, decision-making, and performance
management.

This role has multi-site responsibility, with a strong emphasis on program
standardization, governance, and continuous improvement. The Safety Manager will
own the development and rollout of safety programs, training, and SOPs, while
building mechanisms to monitor performance, identify gaps, and drive corrective
actions at scale. Success in this role requires the ability to influence without
direct authority, ensuring alignment and accountability across locations.

During the launch phase, this role will require flexibility across shifts and up
to 50% travel to support multiple locations and ensure consistent execution.

If you’re someone who has built safety programs in a new or scaling environment,
we encourage you to apply.
