Business Assistant at The Cycle - US-based first cycle-based functional beverage designed to support menstrual wellness

The Cycle is the first cycle-based functional beverage designed to support menstrual wellness. We help ease PMS, fatigue, bloating, and hormonal fluctuations with clean, plant-based formulations crafted to support the body through every phase of the menstrual cycle. Our ingredients are rooted in herbal medicine, our flavors are habit-forming, and our voice is unapologetically real.

We’re not just launching a drink—we’re launching a cultural shift. Think Olipop meets Flo, but made for the days you feel like canceling life.

Led by 3x founder Anastasia Sartan (ex-Director of Product at Snap), The Cycle is entering its first launch phase. We’re prepping 5,000 cans per SKU for drop this August and seeding traction across DTC, micro-retail, and café partners. If you’re obsessed with launch moments, culture-first storytelling, and building something women brag about drinking—you’re in the right place.

What You’ll Do:

Support Operations & Fulfillment

• Assist with coordination across distributors, cafés, and wellness/yoga studios

• Keep logistics moving—3PL communication, inventory tracking, shipping updates

• Jump in wherever needed to help the team stay on top of moving parts

External Communication

• Handle outreach and follow-ups with small retail and wellness partners

• Respond to basic inquiries and make sure everyone gets what they need, on time

• Occasionally support ad hoc tasks around events, activations, and product seeding

General Team Support

• You’ll be the go-to for whatever needs doing—whether it’s ops, light marketing, or just keeping things organized

You Might Be a Fit If:

• You’ve worked in early-stage startups or supported CPG/delivery/logistics before

• You’re highly organized and quick to respond

• You’re a natural problem-solver—comfortable making small decisions independently

• You’re not afraid to send the follow-up, pick up the phone, or double-check delivery details

• You’re excited to work closely with a founder and learn through doing

• You’re a very clear and proactive communicator

• Experience doing light content creation/coordination or UGC sourcing

• Familiarity with tools like Shopify, Airtable, or Klaviyo

• Full-time job (8 working hours per day, Monday-Friday). Please note that we will not consider candidates planning to combine several jobs.

• You’ll work directly with the founder and a brand advisor (ex-marketing director for top CPG brands in the US).

• Growth - we’re looking for a long-term commitment.

• Salary in USD, bonus or equity opportunity based on performance.
