Associate Customer Business Manager - Costco

<p><strong>WHO ARE WE?</strong></p>

<p><strong> </strong>We are the Wellbeing Collective (WBC), an exciting Global Business Unit within Unilever built with a start-up mindset. Companies included in this role’s responsibilities include OLLY, SmartyPants, Welly, and Onnit.  Each of these companies has a fantastic variety of benefit-led products, with strong innovation and growth potential. Our mission, with our science-backed and disruptive portfolio, is to improve the health and wellbeing of millions of consumers and become a leading Health and Wellness organization.</p>

<p>As part of the Health & Wellbeing Collective, we are building an operational platform to support companies in the Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (VMS) space called the VMS Co-Op. The VMS Co-Op will host OLLY and SmartyPants and will grow to include other VMS companies and future acquisitions as well.</p>

<p>OLLY is a fast-growing San Francisco based company working to bring simplicity and delight to the world of nutrition. Yes, stuff like vitamins, probiotics and supplements to help you be you. We see only upside in the opportunity to transform the category experience. Not only that, we believe you can’t have happy without healthy. And isn’t true happiness where it’s at? So we’ve made it our personal mission to help people make healthy choices by making it easier than ever for them to get better nutrition into their daily lives. We are also a B-Corp, so doing social good is built into our DNA.</p>

<p>SmartyPants is a dynamic and fast-growing Los Angeles based supplement company focused on providing premium all-in-one vitamins for the entire family.  From the start, SmartyPants has been about family, authenticity and a core commitment to our collective well-being.  SmartyPants believes in making it easier to stay healthy by providing best-in-class products that also taste great. We're industry leaders in testing, transparency and advocacy, from sourcing the highest-quality ingredients to testing and packaging. </p>

<p>The VMS Co-Op works in an agile and entrepreneurial way, collaboratively within the team and with our Health & Wellbeing colleagues. We work together to look at the big picture strategically as well as roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty. We’re super passionate about the work that we do and we’re on the hunt for a fellow self-starter to add to our unique culture and join our ambitious team.</p>
