Our mission is simple: create Unexpected Moments of Happiness—for our guests and the team that makes it all happen.

Role Summary

Lead a shift on our production floor to deliver consistent, high-quality pops. You’ll run pace vs. plan, coach an 5–8 person crew, execute GMP/HACCP tasks and records, and partner closely with our QA Lead (who owns lot release/CAPA) and our Production Manager (who owns planning/capacity).

What You’ll Do
