About the role
The Food Assembly Associate plays a key role in crafting Manly Man Co.’s signature food-based gifts — from our famous Beef Jerky Bouquets to other unique edible creations. You’ll join a fast-paced, fun-loving production team that works together to assemble, package, and prepare high-quality products that make people smile.
This is a temporary seasonal position expected to run through February 12, supporting our busiest seasons — Christmas and Valentine’s Day. During this time, we’ll use your performance and fit with the team to evaluate potential opportunities for full-time, year-round roles as they become available. Overtime opportunities will be offered during peak production periods for high performing staff.
Schedule: Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM

Qualifications
