It’s all about the numbers—knowing them, tracking them, double-checking them, and making sure everything lines up and ends up exactly where it needs to be. That’s the kind of meticulous Logistics & Production Coordinator we’re looking for at Vital Farms: someone who’s organized, sharp with spreadsheets, and genuinely cares about getting the details right. Because here’s the deal—at Vital Farms, we’re on a mission to bring ethical food to the table, one thoughtfully sourced ingredient at a time. While we’re best known for our pasture-raised eggs—giving our hens 108 square feet to roam and calling bullsh*t on terms like “cage-free” and “free-range”—we’re just getting started. We give a cluck about the health of our animals, the wellbeing of our customers, and the future of our planet. If that sounds like something you care about too, let’s talk about how you can help us stay organized and make a meaningful impact as our new Logistics & Production Coordinator. Fluent in the language of trucking, shipping, receiving, and inventory management, you’re that rare bird who thrives in both team settings and when flying solo. You’ve got egg-ceptional communication skills that help you juggle shifting priorities, and you’re not afraid to take ownership. At the end of the day, you understand you're the final checkpoint—ensuring every pallet, product, and piece of paperwork is accurate, accounted for, and ready to go. What You'll Do As a key part of our logistics and production team, you’ll bring strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a problem-solving mindset to help ensure smooth operations each day. You’ll work closely with our internal teams and logistics partners to keep everything moving efficiently—while using ERP systems and Excel to stay on top of the details. Prepare all Bills of Lading (BOLs) and pallet documentation for outbound shipments Welcome truck drivers, check them in, and assign them to the correct dock door Communicate dock door assignments to the SRW team to ensure timely and friendly service Track and communicate daily shipping updates—short ships, mis-ships, and complete ships Plan and monitor all incoming and outgoing shipments to support on-time performance Reconcile daily outbound shipment totals and support inventory accuracy Use Excel and ERP tools to track data, identify trends, and support decision-making Assist with weekly production scheduling, ensuring alignment between production and logistics Partner with the broader team on inventory reconciliation and continuous improvement initiatives Take ownership—identify opportunities to improve processes, eliminate waste, and deliver exceptional service What You Bring to the Table First, you bring a big ol’ helping of passion for ethically sourced, nutritious food and purpose-driven brands. And you bring extra napkins. You have 2+ years of experience in logistics, production planning, or a related operations role—bonus points if it’s in a fast-paced or food manufacturing environment. You’ve got strong MS Office skills—especially in Excel—and know your way around spreadsheets like a pro. You’re confident working in ERP systems and using data to make decisions and solve problems. You have excellent verbal and written communication skills, and you know how to tailor your message for your audience. You’re a dedicated team player who believes that we is greater than me—you celebrate others’ wins and know collaboration is key. You give a sh*t. About the animals. About relationships. About keeping things real. You act like an owner and take pride in being part of Vital Farms. You hold yourself to high standards and strive to grow personally and professionally every day. You can walk in someone else’s boots—you seek to understand different perspectives and believe better answers come from working together. Honest conversations don’t ruffle your feathers. You’re not afraid to speak up when you see an opportunity to improve—and you expect the same from your teammates.
