About Us
Hungryroot is using AI to build the most consumer-centric food and wellness company to ever exist.

That’s why we’re building a future in which healthy living is both easy and enjoyable.

Expect regular virtual team events, strong ownership and accountability, and an annual company retreat.

• Advanced experience with Microsoft Excel and GSuite (Google Sheets, Google Docs, etc.)
• Experience at a high-growth consumer, e-commerce, subscription, or CPG company
• Clear, concise communication: you turn complex analysis into simple recommendations

Nice to Have
