Mill is all about answering a simple question: how can we prevent waste? Less waste can save time, money, energy, maybe even our planet. And there’s no better place to start than food. Food waste is one of the most solvable climate problems facing us today. Plus, our trash really stinks. It’s gross, heavy, and our least favorite chore. At Mill we are striving to build a better environment for all, as we take on climate and kitchen change.

As the leader of the Customer Operations function, you’ll strike a balance between high-impact individual contribution and team leadership and development. You will be responsible for ensuring that Mill’s operational activities and processes are aligned to meet current and future business needs
