Operations 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.
