WAREHOUSE COORDINATOR

About the role

Retaaza is a woman-owned B Corp and social enterprise that strives to make local food more accessible and affordable, directly supports our communities’ farmers, reconnects consumers to their food, and feeds families struggling with food insecurity. We are building robust relationships with local farmers, community organizations, local businesses, and individuals to create a nimble, streamlined approach that is making a measurable impact economically, socially, and environmentally across our communities.

The Warehouse Coordinator plays a central role in Retaaza's supply chain operations, overseeing the flow of local farm products and value added goods from receiving through delivery.

This position is based out of our warehouse on the Westside of Atlanta.
