Happy Moose Juice crafts delicious Cold-Pressed Fruit & Vegetable Juices, as well as dairy-free "mylks," right here in wonderful San Francisco. Our mission is simple: We are here to make the worlds best juice and to cultivate happiness in anyone we have the opportunity to share it with.  We are passionate about finding the best natural, organic ingredients grown by the best California farmers, so we can extract all of the good stuff, and bottle it up to share with you.

The essence of the job is two-fold:  1) Maintain and continuously improve HMJ’s existing systems.  2) Anticipate HMJ’s future needs and build new systems in order to accommodate them.  As a startup, HMJ is constantly reinventing itself.  To succeed, you will need to be excited by the prospect of change and continuous improvement, but also focused on ensuring a high level of service (predictability, consistency, responsiveness) to our existing customers at all times.  While working to support the overall vision and initiatives set by the founders, you will have a great deal of autonomy to evolve the company’s internal operations as you see fit.  HMJ is a highly collaborative environment where innovation and risk-taking is both supported and encouraged, out-of-the-box thinking is welcomed, and healthy debate is part of the decision-making process.  Above all, at HMJ you will find a small, but truly fantastic group of people to work with.  There is very much a “HMJ way,” so if you’re a good fit for our style, we know that you will love coming in to work each day – we all do.

We are looking for a Director of Operations to oversee our organization’s ongoing operations and to help us manage our growth.

You must have:

• Great people and communication skills
