+ Collaborate with the Business Development and Quality teams to align production and customer needs

+ Manage year-end physical inventory and ensure ongoing accuracy in materials and finished goods

+ Support safety, quality, and compliance initiatives including HACCP and company audits

+ Drive continuous improvement, cost savings, and efficiency across the production process

Who You Are

You’re a natural problem-solver and multitasker who enjoys taking ownership of complex processes and finding smarter ways to work. You bring a mix of analytical skills, hands-on leadership, and a team-first mindset.

You’ll excel if you:

+ Communicate clearly and confidently across teams and with vendors

+ Enjoy leading projects and managing multiple priorities

+ Thrive in a fast-changing, dynamic manufacturing environment

+ Demonstrate strong organizational and decision-making skills

+ Understand manufacturing operations, continuous improvement, and cost control
