The Role Own end-to-end supply chain and manufacturing for two growing frozen dessert brands.

Push on-time delivery performance; escalate risks early with options and tradeoffs.
Procurement & Suppliers
Purchase ingredients and packaging; track price, lead times, and logistics.
Maintain safety stocks, dual-source plans, and long-lead coverage.
Drive documented cost savings without compromising quality.

Plan and dispatch shipments to frozen storage warehouses, distributors, and retail shops.
Fulfill Purchase Orders from Distributors/Customers in timely manner, scheduling freight and managing customer expectations around the delivery.
Maintain clean item masters and location data.
Quality, Food Safety & Compliance
Enforce specs/SOPs; coordinate Certificates of Authenticity (COAs), quality assurance processes, and corrective and preventative action practices with co-packers.
Support compliance with food safety basics (allergens, sanitation, recalls, traceability, etc.).
Data, Systems & Reporting
Build lightweight dashboards for forecast accuracy, on-time delivery, yield, COGS variance, inventory turns, and service level.
Keep Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) tool, BOMs, and SKUs up-to-date and accurate; standardize naming and versions that are consistent across brands and SKUs.
Send concise weekly updates that manage up with choices and implications.
Commercialization & Change Control
Partner with Culinary Lead on new SKUs: spec lock, BOMs, vendor setup, costings, trials, launch readiness.
Lead change control for ingredients/packaging; plan phase-ins/phase-outs and rework.
Qualifications Must-Haves
3–7+ years in CPG food/bev supply chain or manufacturing (frozen/refrigerated strongly preferred).
Hands-on ownership of production planning, inventory control, and co-packer/3PL coordination.
Comfortable with standard food safety fundamentals; able to read COAs and support investigations.
Systems-driven: MRP experience and spreadsheet fluency (pivots, lookups, error-proofed models).
Impeccable detail orientation, organization, and documentation; bias to checklists/standard work.
Clear, concise communicator who manages up proactively with data and options.
Operates remotely and autonomously with self-set deadlines and consistent follow-through.
Valid driver’s license and ability to do regional day trips/occasional overnights.
Nice-to-Haves

Frozen dessert or dairy/non-dairy processing; overrun/yield management; packaging commercialization.

$65,000–$85,000 DOE, plus performance bonus potential.
Health/PTO and standard benefits; equipment stipend.
How to Apply Submit your resume and a one-page write-up that includes:
