Contract Type

Description

Site Operations & Standards

  • Conduct structured audits of your sites, ensuring compliance with F4E's SOPs, food safety policies, and operational standards.

  • Train kitchen staff on SOPs and communicate policy updates — you're the bridge between the service centre and the sites.

  • Ensure every site has what it needs to operate: stock, PPE, equipment, and supplies are • Validate stock takes twice a month at every site you oversee.

Financial Oversight

  • Own your understanding of cost-per-meal (CPM) variance across all your sites. You are the person who knows why costs moved, and you surface both concerns and opportunities to your manager.

  • Support billing processes in partnership with your Regional Coordinator and the finance team.

  • Drive timely procurement: 90% of orders submitted on time, every cycle.

Data, Reporting & Analysis

  • Track, synthesize, and report on performance trends at the school and kitchen level.

  • Respond to data requests from the service centre with accuracy and speed.

  • Own yield variance analysis — understand the drivers, flag anomalies, and recommend corrective action.

Capacity & Growth

  • Understand your site’s capacity: you know when sites are over- or under-utilized and proactively bring that intelligence to your manager.

Stakeholder Management

  • Build and maintain relationships with other field teams and school leadership in your area. This includes occasional check-ins with the schools you serve to learn about how you and your team can improve the experience.

  • Coordinate and host site visits for F4E staff and donors.

Facility Maintenance

  • Own 100% reporting and escalation of facility maintenance issues; nothing is left unreported, nothing is someone else's problem.

Who You Are

  • You have experience in operations, field management, or program delivery, ideally in food systems, health, or a service organization.
  • You're comfortable spending your days in the field. You don't manage from a desk.
  • You're analytically strong. You can read data, spot a trend, and explain the 'so what' clearly.
  • You hold yourself and others to high standards. You don't wait to be asked to escalate a problem.
  • You build genuine relationships with community stakeholders, local officials, and school leaders.
  • You communicate clearly, upward and downward, and you know the difference between information and insight.
