Operations Program Manager, Manufacturing Readiness

Mill is a waste prevention technology company reimagining what it means to eliminate waste, starting with food. We build smart systems and infrastructure for homes, businesses, and municipalities that transform food scraps from landfill-bound waste into valuable resources, including chicken feed. Tens of thousands of Mill’s residential food recyclers are already helping households divert millions of pounds of food scraps every year, paving the way for our upcoming launch of Mill Commercial—the industry’s first end-to-end solution for managing, understanding, and preventing food waste in commercial environments (e.g. grocery, restaurants, food services). At Mill, we are passionate about building easy-to-use, beautifully designed technologies that keep food in the food system and out of landfills.

Role Description:

Mill is expanding into commercial production, and we need one person to own manufacturing and operations readiness from the first builds through mass production. You will be accountable for getting EVT, DVT and PVT done on time, and for the results of both our contract manufacturer and our own operations team.

This is a hands-on, high-change role in a startup. You will spend your days chasing, checking and aligning every workstream, not managing from a distance. Plans, quantities and designs change often, and we need someone who stays structured, makes decisions quickly with incomplete information, and communicates clearly under pressure.
