From day one, you'll take ownership of meaningful work that moves our business forward. The Management Track is not a rotational development program — it's hands-on, immersive, and designed for people who want real responsibility early. You'll tackle a wide range of challenges. Some will require creative problem-solving in ambiguous situations; others will demand practical, systems-level improvements. You'll learn by doing, supported by teammates and mentors who expect a lot from you and are invested in your growth.

You'll work across functions, see how a complex organization fits together, and develop the judgment, communication, and leadership skills that set the foundation for long-term impact. We specifically welcome Teach For America Corps Members from all subject areas and regions. What matters most is not your academic background – it's how you make thoughtful decisions, lead through ambiguity, and help others succeed.

As part of our management team, you will do work that matters. Over time, you'll grow into a leader who brings out the best in others and drives results across the company. Your work might include:

• Using AI to improve how we work
• Making ordering easier for customers and teammates
• Improving distribution through automation
• Leading cross-functional initiatives
• Fixing operational pain points
• Owning and growing a product category
• Strengthening supplier relationships
• Launching new digital features

You are a current Teach For America Corps Member who will finish your 2-year service commitment in 2027. You are curious, driven, and eager to make an impact. You ask thoughtful questions, enjoy solving tough problems, and bring out the best in the people around you. Your experience in Teach For America has helped you:

• Take ownership in ambiguous, high-stakes environments
• Adapt quickly and learn fast when plans change
• Use data and feedback to improve outcomes
• Lead, influence, and support people with diverse perspectives

You understand that strong collaboration means creating the conditions for others to do their best work, challenge ideas constructively, and move work forward together. If you're excited to stretch beyond the classroom, apply your leadership skills at scale, and build a long-term career with real responsibility and growth, we'd love to meet you.
