About Us:

Skratch Labs is an outdoor company on the cutting edge of athlete nutrition, founded by two pro cycling veterans who started mixing performance drinks in paint buckets at McGuckin Hardware over 7 years ago. Since then, we’ve built an amazing following of impassioned athletes in the US and Europe and we’re growing fast. We believe food and drink is just better when made from scratch and we also believe that no matter where we find ourselves in life, it’s never too late to start from scratch. We use our heads and our hearts in everything we do. Our goal is to help people be better. We work together, we are real, we perform, and we are empathetic. If you’re inspired by athletes and our story, and you think you’d thrive in an office full of dogs, bicycle posters, shenanigans, hard work, and the occasional lunchtime knock-out (basketball) game, this could be the place for you.

Skratch Labs: PT (contract) Project Manager

About Me: I am an organized, detail-oriented, and assertive project manager who demonstrates the ability to adapt to changes and coordinate multiple moving parts in order to drive work forward for on-time completion. I am comfortable with project management software tools and use them routinely. I have faith in and love working with great people who are similarly motivated and, at the same time, well-grounded, and bring their real selves to work each day. I am ready to initiate, plan, clearly communicate, oversee execution, monitor and ensure completion of new Consumer Packaged Goods products.
