both our bakery production operation and front-of-house customer service
team, helping ensure that the entire bakery runs smoothly from
production through the customer experience. Founded in 1910, New Glarus

of traditional bakery products. We\'re looking for a manager who
respects that history while helping us continue building strong systems,
accountability, efficiency, and teamwork. What You\'ll Be Responsible

production, customer service, cleaning, packaging, or other areas when
the operation needs additional support Who We\'re Looking For The right
person for this position doesn\'t need to know every New Glarus Bakery
product on day one. We can teach our products and systems. What is much
harder to teach is leadership, ownership, judgment, organization,
communication, and follow-through. You may be a great fit if you:
Naturally notice what needs to be done and take action Can manage
multiple priorities without losing important details Are comfortable
making decisions independently Communicate problems early rather than
allowing them to grow Can give employees clear, respectful, direct
feedback Are comfortable holding people accountable Stay level-headed
when things become busy or don\'t go according to plan Understand the
difference between supporting employees and doing their jobs for them

for the workplace Experience We\'re Looking For Previous management or
leadership experience is strongly preferred. Experience in any of the
following would be especially valuable: Bakery or food production
Restaurant or food service management Retail management Production or
manufacturing supervision Hospitality Grocery or specialty food
operations Small-business operations Bakery experience is helpful, but
strong operational management experience may be equally valuable. You
should also be comfortable learning and using computer-based systems for
scheduling, point-of-sale, ordering, communication, reporting, and other
operational functions. This Is a Hands-On Position Our bakery is an
active physical environment. This position involves being on your feet,
walking between work areas, using stairs, lifting, pushing, pulling,
moving products and supplies, and occasionally assisting with physical
production or cleaning tasks. The Bakery Operations Manager should never
have the mindset of, \"That\'s not my job.\" At the same time, your
primary responsibility is to lead and manage the operation, not simply
become another production employee. The Person Who Will Thrive Here
We\'re looking for someone who can walk into the bakery, understand what
is happening, identify what needs attention, communicate clearly with
the team, and keep the entire operation moving forward. Someone who can
be supportive without avoiding difficult conversations. Someone who can
create structure without micromanaging. Someone who can handle a busy
day without creating chaos for everyone around them. And someone who
takes pride in developing a team and helping a long-standing local
business operate exceptionally well. If that sounds like the kind of
leadership role you\'re looking for, we\'d love to hear from you. New
