About Purple Carrot

Founded in 2014, Purple Carrot delivers clean, long‑lasting energy through the power of plants. As the only company in America devoted entirely to plant‑based eating, we have spent over a decade perfecting the balance of protein and fiber that only plants can provide. Offering chef‑crafted, dietitian‑designed meals delivered right to your door, we make plant‑forward eating effortless, flexible, and endlessly exciting.

Our menu spans quick weeknight dishes, occasion‑worthy dinners, breakfast, lunch, snacks, and ready‑to‑eat meals.

Purple Carrot prioritizes taste and flexibility, offering no membership fees, the freedom to skip or unskip weekly deliveries whenever you want, and a no‑pressure, cancel‑anytime policy. We pride ourselves on doing plants better than anyone else – and we have the receipts to prove it.

We are looking for a Senior Culinary Operations Project Coordinator to join our mission‑driven team. As an integral part of the Culinary department, you will join forces with the Culinary director (to whom you will also report) in our continued effort to inspire people to eat more plants!

This position will play an important role in connecting Culinary, Marketing, Brand/Creative, Product & Engineering, Loyalty, and Operations, ensuring meal launches and cross‑functional projects run smoothly, efficiently, and on time.

As the Senior Culinary Operations Project Coordinator, you will be focused on managing timelines, deliverables, and workflows for meal launches (Meal Kits & Ready‑to‑Eat), while supporting the documentation, coordination, and administrative tasks that keep projects moving. Success in this role means deadlines are met, roadblocks are surfaced early, and customers experience consistent value across all Purple Carrot categories.

We greatly thank all applicants; however, only those under serious consideration will be contacted.
