Your primary mission will be to ensure the kitchen runs like a well-oiled machine, producing top-quality, nutritious baby food, including fresh meals (catering business model) and packaged snacks (manufacturing business model), while maximizing resource efficiency and output.

This role is ideal for a seasoned leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and has a proven track record of managing both kitchen teams and cooking / bakery processes. You will be responsible for the entire production cycle, from raw ingredients to packaged products ready for retail, with a focus on continuous process optimization, operations/people planning, and product quality.

Manage scheduling, performance reviews, and professional development. This requires you to be on the ground, able to lift up your sleeves and contribute to the actual work as needed.

Identify ways to wash, peel, chop, cook ingredients in efficient ways while respecting food safety standards and ensuring top quality products. Knowledge and experience in cooking and bakery is essential.

Quality Control: Uphold the highest standards of food safety, hygiene, and quality. Ensure all products meet or exceed company and regulatory standards (ISO 22000 certification and above).

Process and Product Optimization: Continuously analyze and improve production workflows to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and increase output. Identify and implement new technologies or methods or recipes to streamline operations. Monitor daily output and report on all KPIs to management.
