What are the responsibilities and job description for the Driver/Warehouse Specialist position at Oats Overnight?
A Little About Us
Oats Overnight is on a mission to build a generational CPG brand. Since 2016, our high-protein, drinkable oatmeal has reached over a million customers through direct-to-consumer, and we’re now scaling with all major nationwide retail and club partners. Our goal: become a household brand by leveraging speed, storytelling, and strategy.
We are vertically integrated: we develop, manufacture, and fulfill everything in-house. This operational control allows us to engage customers directly into the R&D process, an initiative where we were first-to-market in CPG. It also makes our brand tangible and real: our factory, our team, and our product pipeline are all part of the narrative.
This is an exciting stage — we are emerging as a significant omni-channel brand and launching new products to capture significant market share across verticals. We want you to help us get there.
Every teammate here has equity because we’re building something big, and everyone plays an important role. If you’re excited about building a brand that does things differently, this is that opportunity.
We are not accepting candidates from third-party recruiters or agencies for this role — direct applicants only.
What’s The Job?
The Driver/Warehouse Specialist handles the in-house transportation of materials to and from buildings while maintaining a safe and lawful driving record. Employees are expected to represent Oats Overnight in the most professional manner. This role also supports warehouse operations, handling and loading materials to align with company procedures.
