• Ability to manage high-volume output while maintaining precision and quality

• Strong leadership and organizational skills with a hands-on, collaborative style

• Passion for building teams, mentoring staff, and creating world-class bread

What’s in It for You:

• Competitive salary: starting at $100K–$150K+ (open to discussion based on experience)

• Monday–Friday schedule, with potentially weekend availability as needed during ramp-up and beyond

• Relocation assistance available for the right candidate—especially those from culinary hubs like Chicago or New York

• Opportunity to launch a brand-new, purpose-built artisan bakery within one of the premier hospitality destinations in the U.S.

• High-impact role supporting hotels, restaurants, and event spaces with scratch-made bread
