We’re Tovala, a food-tech company reinventing home cooking to save consumers time. Through an innovative combination of hardware, software, and fresh food delivery, we make it incredibly simple for anyone to prepare and enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals without sacrificing time to do whatever matters to them. Through our superior technology, product experience and food quality, we have separated Tovala from the busy pack of other meal delivery businesses. In the process, we’ve amassed a loyal, rapidly growing following and our retention, product engagement and customer NPS are all best-in-class. We’ve raised over $100mm from great investors like Left Lane Capital, Origin Ventures, Y Combinator and Comcast Ventures and have invested strongly in building a unique culture that fosters growth, personal development and camaraderie.

Position Summary: Procurement is a fundamental component of Tovala’s business model. This individual will work directly within the Supply Chain Team, as a part of the Procurement group, and cross functionally with Production, FSQA, Culinary, and Menu teams to identify, manage and execute  highly detailed sourcing and process improvement projects. These projects will directly impact the inbound sourcing of food and packaging, allowing production to run consistently and efficiently each week.
