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.)
