What are the responsibilities and job description for the Vice President Operations position at Everyday Dose Inc.?
Coffee is “wakeup technology” that has not materially improved in 1,500 years. We are changing that. 50% of Americans have a gene variant that makes metabolizing caffeine difficult, causing jitters, bloating, and stomach problems. Most people shrug their shoulders and say, “Welp, that’s coffee.” Instead of shoulder shrugging, we’ve developed a priority blend of coffee, functional mushrooms, collagen protein, and nootropics to promote focus, energy, immunity, and gut health. No crash. No B.S. We’ve served 300,000 customers in the past 3 years. There are 150,000,000 coffee drinkers left. We’re less than 1% done. Come join us for the remaining 99%.
