About The Position

The Cycle is the first ready-to-drink beverage designed to help women enjoy their cycle. Backed by real ingredients and science, we’re on a mission to make period and PMS relief as normal—and as joyful—as your morning matcha.
As we scale across retail, DTC, and community-led channels, we are looking for a highly organized Project Manager & Operations Specialist. This role is the central hub of our team, responsible for translating the Founder’s vision into actionable plans and ensuring our internal engine runs smoothly.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in operations, project management, or a coordination-heavy marketing role (preferably within a startup or CPG environment).
• The "Middle-Level" Mindset: You don’t just wait for tasks; you identify bottlenecks and propose solutions before they become problems.
• Mastery of Organization: Expert-level ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously without losing sight of the details.
• Effective Communication: The ability to manage up (to the CEO) and down (to freelancers) with clarity and professional tact.
• Mission-Driven: A genuine passion for women’s health and the wellness industry.

Nice To Haves

• Direct experience in the CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) or beverage industry.
• Proficiency in project management software (Asana, ClickUp, or Notion).
• Experience managing external agencies or specialized freelancers.
• A background in data analysis or reporting.

Responsibilities

• Team & Project Coordination: Act as the primary point of contact for designers, contractors, and freelancers, managing timelines and ensuring all deliverables are met on schedule.
• Operational Systems: Build and maintain the internal workflows and tools (Notion, Slack, etc.) that keep the team organized as we scale.
• Marketing & Retail Support: Manage the logistics of influencer partnerships, retail launches, and in-store demos, ensuring all parties have the resources they need.
• Strategic Research: Oversee partner outreach (influencers, retailers, and local communities) and manage the high-level communication funnel.
• Data & Insights Management: Lead customer feedback initiatives, analyze survey data, and present actionable insights to the Founder to improve the user experience.
• Grant & Program Management: End-to-end ownership of brand-support programs, from identifying opportunities to submitting complex grant applications.

Benefits

• Full-time commitment: 8 hours/day, Monday–Friday. We are looking for a dedicated partner, not a freelancer with other clients.
• Global Remote Work: Work from anywhere. All you need is high-speed internet and the ability to provide 3 hours of daily overlap with PST (Pacific Standard Time).
• Long-term Growth: We want someone to grow into a leadership role as the company expands. We expect a 1.5+ year commitment.
