Background

We are a not for profit organization that works with vulnerable children in the public school system to improve their lives and school performance. Founded in 2012, Food for Education provides subsidized school meals every day to over 15,000 kids with a goal of feeding 1,000,000 kids by 2025.

Your Mandate

Site Operations & Standards

• Conduct structured audits of your sites, ensuring compliance with F4E's SOPs, food safety policies, and operational standards.
• Train kitchen staff on SOPs and communicate policy updates — you're the bridge between the service centre and the sites.
• Ensure every site has what it needs to operate: stock, PPE, equipment, and supplies are
• Validate stock takes twice a month at every site you oversee.

Financial Oversight

• Own your understanding of cost-per-meal (CPM) variance across all your sites. You are the person who knows why costs moved, and you surface both concerns and opportunities to your manager.
• Support billing processes in partnership with your Regional Coordinator and the finance team.
• Drive timely procurement: 90% of orders submitted on time, every cycle.

Data, Reporting & Analysis

• Track, synthesize, and report on performance trends at the school and kitchen level.
• Respond to data requests from the service centre with accuracy and speed.
• Own yield variance analysis — understand the drivers, flag anomalies, and recommend corrective action.

Capacity & Growth

Understand your site’s capacity: you know when sites are over- or under-utilized and proactively bring that intelligence to your manager.

Stakeholder Management

• Build and maintain relationships with other field teams and school leadership in your area. This includes occasional check-ins with the schools you serve to learn about how you and your team can improve the experience.
• Coordinate and host site visits for F4E staff and donors.

Facility Maintenance

Own 100% reporting and escalation of facility maintenance issues; nothing is left unreported, nothing is someone else's problem.
