Production & Inventory Control Coordinator

Finding the right place to grow your career isn’t (over) easy, so we’re here to help by sharing a few reasons why the grass is greener at Vital Farms. We think you’ll appreciate our focus on Conscious Capitalism, which drives business decisions that benefit all our stakeholders (leading to even better business results). You might be drawn to our innovative approach and refusal to settle for the “way things have always been done.” Or you could find it exciting to grow your skills while working for an industry-leading brand. Whether you’re into our values, our brand, or our egg-cellent puns, we hope you’ll join our Crew and help us change the world 108 square feet at a time! 

At Vital Farms, we’re proud of the diverse communities we serve and the stakeholders who help bring our purpose to life. We’re committed to fostering an inclusive and collaborative environment where every crew member feels valued. We see this as one of our greatest strengths - and your role is key to helping us build on it. 

As a Production & Supply Coordinator at Vital Farms, you will...   

 When it comes to production, you know every minute and every detail counts. You’re the kind of person who takes pride in keeping things running smoothly tracking materials, updating schedules, and jumping in to fix small problems before they crack into big ones. That’s exactly the kind of Production & Supply Chain Coordinator we’re looking for at Vital Farms: someone who’s organized, calm under pressure, and committed to getting things done the right way—every time. 

 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 our crew, our farmers, and the planet we all share. 

 If that sounds like something you care about too, we’d love to talk about how you can help us keep production running sunny side up. 

 Fluent in the language of production schedules, inventory flow, and on-the-floor coordination, you’re that rare bird who thrives in both teamwork and independent flight. You’re comfortable working in ERP systems and on the production floor, tracking materials from receiving to finished goods, and making sure every product, pallet, and process is accurate and on time. You’ve got egg-ceptional attention to detail, strong communication skills, and the kind of ownership mindset that keeps everything on track—because at Vital Farms, precision in production means purpose in every carton.
