General Manager, Greater NYC

We’re on a mission to create a food system that’s better for everyone, from farmers to eaters.

We believe that many of us are ready for an alternative way to shop, cook, and break bread with our families and friends. For us, it’s about bringing joy to those who savor their food and care where it comes from, who want it fresh from the harvest and still smelling of the earth.

We’re a fast-growing, mission-driven startup with an ambitious goal: to make local, sustainably produced food more accessible and affordable in every community. Farmigo is an online farmers market that gives consumers an easy, convenient way to buy all of their groceries directly from the best local farmers and foodmakers.

If you’ve built great things, have a deep network in the region, and are eager to help change the broken food system in this country, we want to hear from you ASAP!

As the Regional GM, you will be responsible for the overall performance of the business in your region. Working closely with senior management at HQ and regional staff in functional areas including Marketing, Community, and Operations, you will be tasked with developing and executing Farmigo’s growth strategy in the region, managing the regional P&L, and being the primary public-facing voice and face of Farmigo in the region. You will be responsible for identifying the opportunities and challenges of the region and sharing them with the rest of Farmigo’s leadership team. As one of Farmigo’s first Regional General Managers, you will also be actively engaged in the refinement and evolution of the role to achieve maximum accountability and impact. You will be joining a thriving business at a time of rapid and substantial organizational change and growth, so you will need both strong operational management skills as well as a hearty entrepreneurial spirit.
