A Little About Us

Oats Overnight is changing the way people eat breakfast, and since launching in 2016, our high protein spoon-free oatmeal has been enjoyed by over 1,000,000 customers. We are scaling quickly in both direct-to-consumer and retail with the goal of becoming a household brand. We have end-to-end control of all phases of the business, producing and fulfilling the product in-house, which is extremely rare for companies our size. This allows us to create new flavors and products quickly and is a tremendous advantage for our brand – we’re able to give customers a behind-the-scenes look at what we do, highlighting our people and process in content. Being vertically integrated also enables us to incorporate customers directly in the development process.

A Little About How We Do Things

Starting with our founder/CEO and extending to multiple teams across all departments, many of us come from non-traditional backgrounds. This is a superpower – we are not stuck in traditional industry patterns but instead leverage extreme rationality and first principles thinking to solve problems and find new opportunities. This is a special place to work, and our team is what makes it that way; this is why every employee is also an owner. As such, there is a high level of expectation for all team members.

What We’re Looking For

• Someone that can partner and influence at all different levels
• Not afraid to get out into a manufacturing operations environment to work shoulder-to-shoulder with plant leadership to resolve problems and challenges.
• Ability to handle multiple priorities and navigate in a fast-moving environment
• Expectations will be clearly set, but an ambitious approach to the work is key

• A relentless drive to get things done.
• Curious and entrepreneurial mindset.
• Enjoys working in a highly collaborative and supportive team environment
