We are building the most innovative grocery store with a focus on doing good. We’re a team of 3 in the office, managing 50 people across 3 states. $10 million in revenue. The biggest bootstrapped startup in Brisbane. That can only be achieved through highly effective systems and people.

Bootstrapped means we’ve gotten here without any funding — forcing us to do more with less, which is what innovation is all about. When done right, it creates a culture of ultra-effectiveness.

We’re now looking for 1 new hire in preparation for Funky’s next round of growth that’s been building in the background. You’ll be joining right at the ground floor, sitting next to me (the founder), Noah our COO, and Katy our Marketing Lead. This is your chance to help build Australia’s next big success story.

What It’s Like at Funky

We’re not your average team.

We’re building something massive with limited resources and a clear purpose. We only hire people who are deeply driven — those who live for progress, not praise.

You’ll be surrounded by people who expect a lot of themselves and each other. It’s not always comfortable, but it’s deeply rewarding.

Excellence here is built on three main things: smarts, hard work, and endurance.

The price for rapid growth is pressure.

The process is: do, fail, reflect, repeat.

Bootstrapped startups are not for everyone. They require urgency, resilience, and relentless focus. But for the right person, this is an opportunity to grow faster than anywhere else.

You’ll be working side-by-side with the founder and COO, contributing directly to decisions, projects, and strategy. It’s a role that tests you against the most honest measure there is — results.

Our interview process is built in a way to make sure that you’re the right fit and to give you as much of a sneak peak as possible.

Interview Process

1st round is with Felice.

2nd round is with Noah.

3rd round is in our offices with me. We’ll show you around and make sure we’re a cultural fit.

We have big aspirations for the future of food. We love innovation because we see it as the purest, most effective form of good.

Thank you for considering Funky Food.
