Merchandising Associate - Food CPG STADIUM
- Date Posted November 27, 2019
- Location New York, NY
- Category Business
- Job type Full-Time
Here at STADIUM, we’re focused on team lunches, and client lunches.
What makes us different is that we’re the only company where groups can order meals from different restaurants and have them delivered together.
Eg.. Bryan can order a burger from Shake Shack, Peter can order a salad from sweetgreen, VJ can get a vegan sandwich from by Chloe etc. and have it arrive at the same time, hassle-free. Each lunch is neatly packed and labeled with the diner’s name.
Our goal is simple; we aspire to make organizing lunch easy and provide options that everyone in the group will enjoy. But, our company is complex and full of challenges. We intersect technology, B2B sales & marketing, food, and logistics.
We started in 2014, and have been growing rapidly in New York City.
We're looking for people that are results-driven, persistent, a problem solver, have a capacity to be open-minded, a quick learner and self-aware.
We're rapidly growing and looking to expand its merchant development team. This new hire will be working closely with a fast-growing area of the business -- snacks & beverages.
