Director, FSQR Operations
The Farmer's Dog
Remote job
Who We Are The Farmer's Dog was born from a mission to change the landscape of pet health, providing dogs and their humans with honest, smart, and simple care. We're starting by radically improving the $90 billion pet food industry, replacing bags of highly-processed pellets with a personalized subscription service that sends complete and balanced, freshly-made dog food directly to customers' doors. Our ultimate goal is to create innovative, delightful and personalized experiences across all aspects of pet care, and we believe our direct-to-consumer business model, holistic approach to growth, and dynamic culture uniquely position us to shepherd this backwards industry into the future. To date, The Farmer's Dog has delivered over 1 billion meals nationwide and raised over $150M in funding to help us build a company as healthy as the dogs who are eating those meals. Join us as we continue to develop ways of bringing peace of mind to customers, health to their companions, and much-needed change to the way people feed and care for their pets. #LongLiveDogs What We Stand For and Where You'll Come In We are seeking a Director, FSQR, Quality Operations, to ensure every customer trusts our brand offers the highest quality product. This person will be responsible for the development and implementation of processes and procedures that support our Manufacturing Network and Quality Management Systems. We are looking for a leader who will partner cross functionally and leverage their technical expertise to effectively communicate all food safety and quality concerns/risks. This role will support and work directly with our manufacturing partners, product development teams (internal and external), suppliers and fulfillment centers to create and optimize processes and verify all ingredients and products we produce meet our specifications, and are handled properly from supplier to customer. We need a visionary leader who will live our values and create a vision, in partnership with our VP, FSQR, for where the function can go, and then drive the implementation and realization of that vision. This role will lead a group of highly skilled individuals, providing mentorship and guidance while fostering alignment with the organization's vision. They'll be responsible for supporting a culture of continuous improvement and helping the department grow into a best-in-industry function. One Team: We don't think of ourselves as “Acquisition Marketers”, “Engineers”, “Data Analysts”, or “Product Managers”. Beyond denoting skill sets and areas of expertise, we don't think departments matter. We'd rather align ourselves to the goals we're working to achieve and make sure we have necessary subject matter expertise to drive meaningful impact. We strive to orient ourselves around customer problems TOGETHER - getting the right people, with the right context, in the right rooms/Zooms to solve problems holistically. We are skeptical about everything and precious about nothing: Ideas can and should come from anywhere, and we aren't tied to our own. We proactively source input. We talk to our customers and leads regularly and are quick to change course if we know there's a better or more impactful way to solve problems. We consider the customer journey in all of our decisions: We know that no interaction exists in a silo and therefore understand how important every single one is. We ensure our strategy sets prospective and new customers up for success and drives long-term retention. We answer questions and address problems early and proactively. We understand the value of different channels, initiatives, and messages and know how to articulate impact and advocate for prioritization holistically. We Execute For Impact: We don't subscribe to “best practices” or “industry KPIs”. We're uninterested in how we compare to “benchmarks”; instead we orient ourselves around being the best we can possibly be. Similarly, we don't subscribe to rigid or classical expectations of roles - i.e. acquisition is hyper-focused on improving customer retention and experience. We Are Focused and Work Without Assumption: We are not beholden to ideas. We have goals and believe everything beyond that is a series of hypotheses to validate. To that end, we seek to work in sequence and not in parallel. We constantly ask ourselves, “what's the most important hypothesis I should be working on right now? How do I confirm or reject that hypothesis as fast as possible?”. We rarely have timelines/deadlines and are constantly taking in new information and adjusting our priorities accordingly. We don't expect to be perfect the first time. How You'll Make An Impact Lead and support our site manufacturing team to ensure compliance to and elevate The Farmer's Dog Food Safety and Quality Standards, including managing and mentoring your direct reports, overseeing daily responsibilities, goal-setting and coaching the group on growth and development to set them and the function up for long-term success.
