Sequence production runs to optimize species, allergens, and equipment nuances while maintaining food safety and quality standards. Collaborate cross-functionally. Serve as the bridge between production, procurement, and other teams — ensuring communication flows smoothly and problems are solved before they escalate. Stay agile. Monitor live production and materials to make real-time adjustments as needed, keeping the floor moving and the goals met. Drive continuous improvement. Conduct ad-hoc analyses, manage the production calendar, and partner with Marketing, Commercialization, and R&D to bring new products to life with smart scheduling strategies. What You Bring 5–7 years of success in supply chain or inventory planning, ideally in food manufacturing. Hands-on experience with ERP-based planning (Microsoft Dynamics preferred). Strong analytical and communication skills — you turn complex data into clear decisions. Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Engineering, or related field (preferred).
