Job description
Production & Logistics Lead
Butter Pecan Bakeshop is looking for a Production & Logistics Lead to help keep our production facility running smoothly. This hands-on role works alongside our production team to support daily workflow, quality control, order accuracy, and a clean, organized production floor — while helping the Production Manager catch issues early and keep things on track. This is a lead position, not a supervisory role. You'll help direct day-to-day workflow, reinforce quality and food safety standards, and make sure production priorities stay on track. You'll have the opportunity to provide meaningful operational input and grow into greater responsibility as you demonstrate strong performance and our production operation continues to scale.
Butter Pecan Bakeshop is a cookie shop inspired by childhood favorites and classic southern recipes. We pride ourselves on serving "The BEST cookies in the Bay" along with exceptional customer service. Butter Pecan Bakeshop is growing! We have a team of dedicated, hard-working individuals who thrive in our fun, fast-paced, start-up environment. If you are friendly, growth-oriented, flexible, and committed to excellence -- Butter Pecan Bakeshop is for you! Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and superstar candidates will be contacted for interviews.
