JP’s Pastry — Operations Lead


JP’s Pastry is a growing multi-location, 100% gluten-free bakery operating a centralized production facility serving both retail stores and wholesale customers.


We are not hiring a bakery manager.
We are hiring the person who makes the entire operation run smoothly.


If you prefer a slow, maintenance-only job, this will not be a fit.


If you enjoy fixing problems, building systems, and leading people in a fast-paced environment, keep reading.


What You Will Own


You will be responsible for making sure:


  • Stores receive product on time
  • Production is scheduled and predictable
  • Inventory is controlled
  • Food safety is enforced
  • Staff know expectations
  • Daily chaos turns into reliable systems
You will lead a ~20 person production and fulfillment team and support multiple store locations.


This is a hands-on leadership position. You will sometimes be on the floor, sometimes planning systems, and sometimes solving problems early in the morning.


This Job Is For Someone Who:


  • Takes responsibility instead of making excuses
  • Fixes root causes, not symptoms
  • Can lead a team and hold standards
  • Is calm under pressure
  • Understands food safety matters
  • Wants to grow with a business
This Job Is NOT For Someone Who:


  • Only wants to bake
  • Avoids hard conversations with employees
  • Needs constant direction
  • Dislikes accountability
  • Wants a purely office job
Requirements


  • Experience leading teams in food production, bakery, restaurant, or manufacturing
  • Strong organization and communication
  • Ability to work early mornings and weekends when needed
  • Commitment to food safety
Compensation


  • Competitive salary
  • Monthly performance bonuses
  • Paid time off
  • Growth opportunity as the company expands
To Apply


In your application, include a short answer to this question:


“Tell us about a time an operation you were responsible for broke down. What did you change so it didn’t happen again?”


(We read this carefully.)


Benefits:


  • Employee discount
  • Paid time off
  • Paid holidays
  • 401k retirement plan
Work Location: In person
