Company description
Momentum makes a longevity shake: 30g of grass-fed protein plus more than 20 longevity nutrients at full doses, in organic flavors and independently tested. Our mission is simple. We help people live better, longer.
We make every shake ourselves. Production and fulfillment happen in our own factory in Fitchburg, WI. In about two years we’ve grown into a profitable, seven-figure brand. We ship hundreds of orders a day and sell through about 1,200 retailers. 98% of our 1,000+ reviews are 5 stars.
Our founder, Mike Tecku, built and sold three multi-million-dollar companies before Momentum. This is his legacy brand, the one he’s building to keep. We’re a small, hands-on team that cares about quality, and we’d rather teach someone eager to learn than hire for a long résumé.
Job description
$25–35/hr + up to $450/mo health stipend + 3% 401(k) match
This job isn't for everyone. The bar is high, our team is small, and you earn your place. We're looking for people who are obsessed with being the best at their craft.
Momentum makes a longevity shake held to a standard few brands attempt: full doses, premium ingredients, and independent third-party testing. Thousands of customers drink it every day, many have been with us for years, and they rate it 4.85 out of 5 across more than 1,000 reviews. Every bag is made and shipped from our own facility in Fitchburg. That means the quality our customers depend on is decided on our floor, by our production crew, one batch and one box at a time.
This is a full-time floor role. It carries more responsibility than our part-time positions, and it pays more because of it. We expect the same dedication to craft from you that goes into the product.
How we work
• We own our work. Small team, no corporate layers. Nobody needs to tell you twice, or check that it got done. You take pride in your work because it's yours.
• We hold a high standard, for a reason. People trust us with something they drink for their health every day. We follow our procedures exactly and keep our records airtight.
• We move fast. Leadership is hands-on and close to the details. When we find a faster, cleaner, or better way to do something, we change it, and we expect the team to adapt quickly and make the change stick.
• We leave things better than we found them. The floor, the process, the team.
How the role grows
We believe in constant, never-ending improvement, and we want your input on how to make every part of the operation better.
You'll start by mastering how everything runs today and making sure our processes are followed consistently. As you prove yourself, you'll take on more: finding the root cause when something goes wrong, fixing it, and recommending better processes so it doesn't happen again.
What you'll do
• Production — making our shakes, batch by batch: weighing and measuring ingredients precisely, running our mixing machines, operating the filling and sealing machine so every bag is the right weight, and checking every batch against our quality standards so production runs correctly and on time.
• Pick, pack, and ship — pulling the right flavors and quantities for every order, packing subscriptions and welcome kits with care, and getting every box out the door accurately and on time.
• Warehousing — organizing and moving pallets, operating the forklift and pallet jack, and keeping the warehouse orderly so ingredients, materials, and finished product are always easy to find and efficient to pull.
• Problem solving — when something breaks, whether it's on the line, in a machine, or in a process, you dig in, find the root cause, and get it fixed.
• Records and SOPs — making our procedures and record keeping part of everyday practice, making sure every step is followed and logged accurately.
• Supporting the part-time team — helping train new teammates and keeping the shift on track.
• Receiving — checking every delivery for correct quantities, items, expiration dates, and damage, and logging it.
• Inventory — tracking what production uses so we reorder on time, and running periodic manual counts.
• The facility — keeping equipment and the space clean, troubleshooting and fixing machines when they act up, and keeping the building secure.
Who you are
• You set the standard. You don't wait to be told what good looks like. You hold yourself and others to it, and you keep raising it.
• Meticulous about records. If it isn't logged, it didn't happen.
• A problem solver. When a machine jams or a process breaks, you dig in to figure out why and fix it. Mechanical aptitude is a big plus.
• Self-motivated. You take ownership without being asked and take pride in doing the job right.
• Open to feedback. You'll report to our Chief of Staff and also take direction from our founder. You see direct feedback as a chance to get better.
• Leads by example. Experience leading a team in any setting (a job, a club, a sports team) is a plus.
• Able to regularly lift up to 50 lbs and stand for full shifts. Forklift experience is a plus, but we'll train you.
No warehouse experience required. We'll teach you everything. What we can't teach is the drive to be the best at what you do.
