When it comes to data, you love connecting the dots. But even more than connecting the dots, you love understanding the purpose of those dots and standardizing those dots, making sure the data is defined, refined, and aligned across different departments so that everything is streamlined for maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

That's the kind of Senior Accountant we're looking for at Vital Farms, because we're on a mission to change the food industry one ethically sourced ingredient at a time. While we're known for our pasture-raised eggs - giving our hens 108 square feet to roam and calling bullsh*t on terms like "cage-free" and "free range" - the truth is, we've got big plans to do so much more. That's because we give a cluck when it comes to the health of our animals, the health of our customers, and the health of our planet.

If you're as egg-cited about that mission as we are, then we think you're going to like the opportunities that come with being a Senior Accountant at Vital Farms. So let's dig in, shall we?
