Kinders BBQ
Overview
What’s it like to work at Kinder’s? There’s a lot of snacking and geeking out over what we cooked over the weekend, but there’s also plenty of hard work. We’re obsessed with flavor and expanding globally as we approach $1 billion in revenue, with over 100 products sold nationwide and a top-five presence in multiple flavor categories at Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods, and more. Privately held and founder-led, we chart our own course and chase big ideas to make food unforgettable. As we grow, we’re looking for smart, scrappy, flavor-obsessed people to come aboard. If you’re looking for a place where you can see the real impact of your work, this is it. You’ll be part of a journey to add flavor to millions of meals and lives. Responsibilities

No two days here are the same. We try to be good team members and good communicators, but we don’t live by hierarchy and structure – everyone is a difference maker here.

We believe our job is to take smart risk, not to eliminate risk. We believe in growing our skills and becoming a better company with more managerial expertise, but we are an entrepreneurial company at heart. We aren’t trying to be average – we want to do exceptional things, and we are willing to work hard to achieve them. Location & Travel

Fridays are flex days with the option to be in the office or work from home based on what makes sense for you. Some travel will be required for this role on a periodic basis, typically for customer meetings or company events. Kinder’s headquarters is located in Walnut Creek, CA. The expected starting salary range for this role is $120,000 - $135,000 per year.
We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range based on location, relevant education, qualifications, performance, and business needs.
