We're Hiring An Operations Coordinator in Vancouver

Dear Future Entrepreneurial Superstar

Are you in high demand but looking for a unique opportunity? Do you want to start your own company but you're not sure where to begin?

Here's the sad reality, schools these days get a lot of criticism about leaving graduates with too much debt and not enough job opportunities. In reality, they should be criticized for leaving graduates without the skills to build their own company. 

Bluebird Provisions is North America's premier organic bone broth brand. We sell online and at grocery stores in Canada and the USA. We are a small, distributed team located in Vancouver. 

We are looking for part-time help in our fulfillment and direct to consumer operations in Vancouver, BC. The ideal candidate is physically active and looking for part-time work with the possibility to learn other skills and develop into different roles within our company. You share a passion for natural food, movement and sustainable living. You will treat bluebird Provisions as your own. 

You are independent, self-motivated, and very comfortable working unsupervised. You have a passion for active living, and a desire to help grow a business. You also have a vehicle (car or bigger) and can manage facilitating short trips to fulfill orders between warehouse and shipping locations (UPS, Canada Post, etc). Include the words “pink Cadillac,” in your email to apply. 

In terms of duties, you will be running our fulfillment operations. Initially the position requires 8 hours a week, but there are opportunities to expand these hours for the right candidate. 

You’ll work out of our small fulfillment facility in Kitsilano. Compensation (to be discussed with Connor) will be above industry standards and based on your experience.
