Customer Experience Sales Shift Manager

Ollie was born with the mission of improving the lives of pets and pet parents nationwide. We make human-grade pet food, tailored for each dog’s nutritional needs, and deliver directly to our customers’ doors. Through Ollie’s carefully crafted meals and health services for members, dogs can truly live their healthiest, happiest lives.
As a member of our growing team, you’ll take part in a company culture that cares deeply about its work and its team members.
Come join the Ollie Canine Care team! 
Ollie is driven to make pets’ lives healthier by making freshly-cooked, human-grade food for dogs that are delivered right to our customer's doorsteps. And our customers want the very best for their dogs. Together, we’re hoping to embark (no pun intended) on some very long healthy journeys for our dogs powered by good fresh food. 
That’s where you come in… We’re looking for an experienced Sales Shift Manager to join our Canine Care Customer Experience team, a small pack of exceptional humans that serve Ollie’s favorite pups and their parents to our high-quality standards. We make sure that, from box to bowl, all our dogs (and their parents) have the best experience possible. 
The Customer Experience Sales Shift Manager will lead a recently formed team of customer experience sales associates and will report to the Director of Customer Experience. This is a remote position, but we are only seeking candidates in the Nashville, TN, or Salt Lake City, UT areas.
