In-House Real Estate Paralegal & Lease Administrator | Job Description

Everytable is on a mission to transform the food system to make fresh, nutritious food affordable and accessible to everyone, everywhere. We are a VC-backed social enterprise headquartered in Los Angeles, in the midst of closing our Series C funding round, and laying the foundation for rapid national expansion.

Our innovative business model has been featured in The New York Times, CNBC, Shark Tank, Fast Company, Forbes, etc. because it’s unlike any other food business. It all starts with our central kitchen where chefs prepare meals efficiently and allow us to price our menu according to what each community can afford. Our ready-to-eat meals are then delivered through a variety of channels: grab-and-go storefronts, home-delivered subscriptions, SmartFridge vending machines, and institutional food service partnerships. We’re passionate about making a positive impact in the communities we serve through food access, as well as economic empowerment. Through our pioneering social equity franchise program, we fund and train disenfranchised business people from marginalized communities to open Everytable franchises. We’re looking for team members who are both mission and results-driven to help us make the world a more equitable place.
