Job Description

About Sifted

Sifted was founded in 2015 by Kimberly Lexow and Jess Legge with a bold vision — to reimagine office food as an experience rooted in hospitality, sustainability, and intentionality

What began as a modern take on workplace meals quickly evolved into a nationwide food platform that supports culture, community, and carbon-conscious choices across hundreds of companies.

We’re not a caterer — we’re a workplace food partner

Our team is our secret sauce — a mix of hospitality pros, culinary experts, technologists, and innovators redefining what it means to build meaningful, stable, and opportunity-filled careers in hospitality.

At Sifted, people stay, grow, and thrive — our team members remain with us three times longer than the industry average.

We offer flexibility, generous perks, and room to grow — hiring builders, operators, creatives, and craftspeople who care about making work (and workplaces) better.

At Sifted, our team culture mirrors the experiences we design for our clients:

  • Creative Freedom: Everyone contributes ideas and shapes the future of our service.
  • Hospitality-Driven: No matter your role, you’re in service to someone — and that matters.
  • Career Growth: We invest in internal mobility, mentorship, and hands-on learning.
  • People First: We support flexible work, celebrate wins, and lead with empathy.
  • Real Impact: Every day, your work reduces waste, improves lives, and connects people through food

If you’re passionate about great food, great people, and great purpose — we’d love to meet you.
