Business Manager - 180 Snacks

Who would absolutely love this job?

You love Trader Joes snacks! In your free time, you love finding new cafes and restaurants and tasting new dishes. Traveling and exploring cuisines and cultures is a dream.

On your own free time, you've done creative projects just for your own fulfillment. You are kind of weird in your obsession with keeping things organized, and love using your planner and software to optimize how you keep track of things.

You're open but not necessarily ecstatic about a corporate job. The thought of a smaller, high-growth family owned business is more interesting to you as it can jump start your career faster.

If this sounds like you, then you are the person we're looking for.
