Director of Operations

Based in sunny Los Angeles, Ritual is a health brand led by the belief that you should know exactly what’s in your vitamin and how it works. We use only the best nutrient forms and publish our sources and research for all to see—because transparency is our thing. Our mission is simple: to inspire women to feel their best, every day, through healthy, daily habits.

Our team of curious skeptics is made up of world-class scientists, artists, expert marketers and strategists. We’re well-funded, growing quickly and on a mission to reinvent an entire industry. If you’re a team player who refuses to settle for the status quo, we want you. Welcome to your new daily Ritual.

Ritual is looking for an experienced yet scrappy Director of Operations to support our increasingly complex supply chain. In this role you’ll blend a data-driven approach, operational expertise and a passion for exceeding our customer expectations.

Who You Are

  • An enabler. You you will work with other departments to figure out how we can bring their ideas to life within the given constraints.
  • Adaptable. As a company in high-growth mode, our processes, product offerings and partners are constantly evolving. We need someone who can not only adapt to change, but drive it and help the company adapt.
  • Relentless. We are firm believers that every penny counts, especially when it comes to gross margin, a major driver of our customer lifetime value. You are not only willing to drive negotiations, but you’re excited by this.
  • Analytical. Your decisions are always supported by thoughtful data.
