Innovation Foods is hiring a Food Production and Supply Coordinator for a consistent Monday–Friday schedule with afternoons and weekends off. This exempt, professional role is a great fit for someone with experience in food operations, purchasing or inventory management, vendor coordination, and team leadership who wants stability, ownership, and predictable hours.

You’ll play a key role in daily food production while independently managing purchasing, supply coordination, labeling accuracy, and overseeing morning operations across multiple food programs.

Why This Role Stands Out

• No weekends
• Afternoons typically free
• Predictable Monday–Friday schedule
• Weekly pay
• Food operations leadership role with structure, stability, and ownership

What You’ll Do

• Oversee daily production startup and ensure operations are ready to run smoothly
• Coordinate and direct production staff during the morning shift
• Manage food and packaging purchasing, including vendor coordination, inventory planning, substitutions, and cost control
• Place and manage purchase orders and proactively prevent shortages
• Work with vendors on pricing, availability, and lead times
• Ensure all products are accurately labeled (ingredients, allergens, nutrition, dates, traceability)
• Support USDA program compliance and audit readiness

Who This Role Is a Good Fit For

• Experience supporting food production, kitchens, or food service operations
• Experience managing ordering, purchasing, inventory, or supply coordination
• Supervising staff or overseeing daily workflows
• Working with vendors, suppliers, or distributors
• Operating in fast-paced environments where timing and accuracy matter

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in food operations, food service, manufacturing, or similar environments
• Supervisory or management experience in an operational setting
• Purchasing, procurement, or inventory management experience
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to make sound decisions and manage priorities independently
• Comfortable starting the workday at 5:30 AM
• USDA meal program experience (NSLP, CACFP) a plus, not required

Compensation & Schedule

• $55,000 – $65,000 salaried (exempt)
• Paid weekly
• Monday–Friday only
• 8-hour workday expectation; end time may vary based on operational needs
