 • Communicate priorities, risks, and changes clearly and proactively
 • Support new product launches and operational transitions
 
 Data, Systems & Optimization

 • 1–3 years of leadership or supervisory experience
 • Experience in food & beverage manufacturing strongly preferred
 • ERP/MRP system experience (Fishbowl a plus)
