Momofuku

Founded by chef David Chang, Momofuku’s mission is to challenge the conventions of food — in restaurants and beyond. We launched our line of pantry essentials in 2020 to bring restaurant flavors to home cooks everywhere. Since then, we have grown our small but mighty team and our products can now be found nationwide — from our ecommerce marketplace to the shelves at grocery stores like Whole Foods and Target.

The Senior Sales Operations Manager is responsible for the development and maintenance of Momofuku Goods’ retail sales forecast & its integration into our broader S&OP process to maximize customer success in adequate inventory flow and minimize out-of-stock risk at shelf. Ideal candidates will have a strong understanding of the flow from sales orders to POS consumption, as well as proven success in forward-looking forecasting and demand planning based on performance data & insights.
