Production Manager / Head Baker

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.
