PRODUCTION MANAGER / HEAD BAKER

SALARY | PERFORMANCE BONUS / 4AM - 2PM / LEAD THE BAKE FROM THE FIRST MIX TO DELIVERY

We're adding a commercial baking component to our operations at The Lake of the Ozarks and we need someone who owns the entire production floor from day one.

This isn't a one-man artisan shop. This is production. You'll purchase inventory, review orders, build the bake schedule, assign the crew, monitor dough from mix to proof to the oven, and make sure every product ships on time and meets spec. You're on the floor, not in an office. When the dough's wrong, you fix it. When the crew needs direction, you lead. When product leaves the building, it's right because you made it right.

If you're a head baker ready to run a real production operation, we want to talk.

4:00 AM to 2:00 PM
Full time, consistent schedule

What you'll own:

Production planning from purchasing to route departure
Mixing, dough development, fermentation and troubleshooting
Proofing, baking, cooling and slicing quality

What you get:

Simple IRA with employer match
Paid vacation after one year
A real leadership role with growth potential

What we need:

Culinary school and/or baking education
3, 5 years commercial or high volume baking experience

Understanding of dough science and bake parameters
Someone who owns the floor. Every shift.
