- Ensure HR operations, payroll, and HRIS processes meet all federal, state, and local compliance requirements
- Serve as a trusted advisor to the Chief Administrative Officer and leadership team on all matters related to rewards, HR operations, and employee experience
- Flexibility to support a bicoastal business, including partnering across Eastern and Pacific time zones beyond standard local working hours when needed; routine travel to Thrive Market Fulfillment Centers, Last Mile locations & HQ
Our take
Organic and non-GMO foods have been at the forefront of millions of consumers' minds and while the will is there, the way has often been blocked by inflated prices. Thrive Market wants to become the world's first climate positive grocery sore.
Thrive is disrupting that chain with a subscription based online grocery store that has a curated range of organic and non-GMO groceries, beauty and cleaning supplies. Members pay a fee and are rewarded with an extra 25-50% off regular retail prices, paying wholesale instead. Banking on the mainstream adoption of organic foods and with the long term effects of GMOs under heavy scrutiny, Thrive Market is enabling people to make healthy lifestyle choices without breaking the bank at traditionally more expensive shops like Whole Foods.
As well as considering an IPO, Thrive Market has also recently partnered with rePurpose Global to fight plastic pollution as well as with Beyond Meat, a particularly smart move because the vegan and meat reduction market shows no signs of slowing; as more people want to put their dollars towards products that are cleaner, safer and support the health of the planet.
