About oac
We're building the ultimate family snack brand — Irish-founded, proudly growing, and on a mission to make healthy, functional snacking easy and enjoyable. OAC has moved from startup hustle to early scale, and we're now building the systems, people, and operations that will carry us toward our next chapter of growth.
The Role
We're looking for a hands-on, detail-driven
Operations & Growth Coordinator
who thrives in a fast-moving environment and wants to help build something meaningful from the ground up.
This person will ensure oac
runs like clockwork
— from production planning to order fulfilment, supplier coordination, and process improvement — while also supporting
scalable growth projects
like logistics, subscriptions, and inventory management.
They'll work closely with founders, manufacturing partners, and our community/marketing teams to keep every piece moving smoothly and to a high standard.
Key Responsibilities1. Operations & Logistics
* Coordinate daily operations — production schedules, order fulfilment, inventory tracking, and deliveries.
* Manage relationships with co-manufacturers, warehouses, and logistics partners.
* Ensure all SKUs are stocked, labelled, and shipped on time with zero errors.
* Maintain systems for tracking inventory, supplier lead times, and forecasting needs.
* Oversee procurement of packaging, materials, and samples.
2. Process & Systems
* Document and optimise workflows as oac scales (production → fulfilment → customer delivery).
* Identify inefficiencies and propose improvements — cost, time, or quality.
* Help implement new tools or processes (Shopify, inventory software, forecasting dashboards).
3. Quality & Compliance
* Ensure all product batches meet agreed quality standards and packaging accuracy.
* Track issues or customer complaints and liaise with manufacturing partners for resolution.
* Support compliance requirements (labelling, shelf life, traceability).
4. Cross-Functional Support
* Partner with the Community & Brand team to ensure event stock, samples, and materials are where they need to be.
* Assist with fulfilment of promotional packs, influencer kits, and limited-edition runs.
* Support financial tracking — purchase orders, supplier invoices, logistics spend.
5. Growth Projects
* Work directly with founders to test and launch operational pilots: new flavours, packaging iterations, retailer onboarding, or subscription logistics.
* Collect and analyse basic data (costs, fulfilment time, error rates) to inform scaling decisions.
