About Yay Lunch:
At Yay, lunch is our favorite subject. We believe that every student should have the opportunity to enjoy a freshly made, wholesome meal they'll love while at school, and that parents should trust that their child feels cared for and nourished.
Founded by parents for parents in 2018, we've expanded quickly through the mid-Atlantic and East Coast with even more growth to come. We have exciting plans backed by experienced venture capital partners, and we can't wait to bring our mission to more schools.
We'd love to have you on the team! As a startup, we hustle with heart. We're team players and self-starters. We want you to love what you do, and we give you the tools to succeed with our commitment to flexibility, transparency, respect, empowerment, and positivity. Come join us!
About the team:
We take our work seriously, while recognizing that work is just one part of being a real human. We rise and fall as a team.
In this role, we would expect there to be minimal travel, but expect to get your chance to periodically ride along with a Brand Ambassador, visit a food vendor, and to shadow a delivery to a school near you on a regular basis to stay in close contact with how our business works. This job is remote, but must be based in one of our existing markets: Atlanta, Maryland, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Raleigh/Durham, Virginia, or Washington D.C.
We firmly believe that talent comes in a great variety of forms from a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and lifestyles.
