The posting

You Are…

  • You’re a structured thinker who turns ambiguous operational problems into clear, data‑backed plans. You break complexity into actionable steps and communicate the “why,” “what,” and “how” with clarity.
  • You bring hands‑on experience in production or supply chain planning within manufacturing or fulfillment environments. You understand how daily decisions ripple across inventory, labor, capacity, and customer experience.
  • You’re fluent in Excel or Google Sheets — pivot tables, scenario modeling, and automation are second nature.
  • You’re comfortable working with ERP/MRP systems and BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, or similar). You know how to pull, clean, and interpret data to drive operational alignment.
  • You’re a clear communicator who can bridge operations and analytics audiences. You translate data into narratives that help partners understand risks, tradeoffs, and recommended actions.
  • You stay calm and solutions‑oriented during escalations. You can assess the situation quickly, communicate contingency plans, and guide teams through last‑minute pivots without losing composure.
  • You collaborate effectively with both internal and external partners. You build trust, maintain strong working relationships, and ensure alignment across production, fulfillment, vendors, and cross‑functional teams.
  • You’re self‑directed and proactive — you identify the most important problems before being asked. You anticipate risks, surface insights early, and drive continuous improvement.
  • You care deeply about data integrity and process excellence.

You Will…

  • Own weekly and monthly production and capacity plans that align demand forecasts with operational, labor, and equipment constraints.
  • Develop and maintain master production schedules for pick‑and‑pack fulfillment operations, incorporating headcount, equipment availability, throughput assumptions, and daily readiness inputs.
  • Lead or support S&OP processes by consolidating demand, supply, and operations inputs into actionable daily and weekly plans that drive alignment across the network.
  • Manage daily and weekly plan attainment for co‑manufacturers and fulfillment sites, including in‑week replanning when inputs deviate from forecast (labor, materials, equipment, or throughput).
  • Ensure ingredient and SKU readiness by validating availability, shelf‑life windows, and production feasibility ahead of each cycle.
  • Maintain meal availability across the fulfillment network through proactive balancing of production, inventory, and transfers across sites.
  • Monitor and mitigate operational risks including shortages, shelf‑life constraints, labor bottlenecks, machine downtime, and throughput variability; model scenarios and communicate clear contingency plans.
  • Maintain data integrity across ERP/MRP and planning systems to ensure accurate inventory, capacity, and service‑level reporting.
  • Track and reconcile weekly/monthly KPIs against targets; update planning rates and assumptions to reflect current plant capabilities and performance trends.
  • Partner with procurement and replenishment teams to manage inventory stock transfers, optimize network balancing, and minimize waste.
  • Identify and drive improvements to planning processes, tools, and workflows, including automation opportunities that increase accuracy, speed, and scalability.
  • Lead or contribute to cross‑functional special projects as the supply chain planning subject‑matter expert, supporting initiatives across production, fulfillment, procurement, and analytics.

At a Minimum, You Have…

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Business, Statistics, Mathematics, Supply Chain, Finance, or related field with 2-3 years relevant experience in production planning, detailed scheduling , replenishment planning, demand planning or materials management required OR Associates degree with 3 to 5 years relevant experience in production planning, detailed scheduling , replenishment planning, demand planning or materials management required
  • Food and Beverage manufacturing industry experience preferred
  • Strong analytical and communication skills
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple demands on time required
  • APICS or CPIM certification a plus
  • Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills required

You’ll get…

  • Competitive hourly rate, 401K company match that vests immediately upon participation, & team bonus opportunities
  • Generous PTO and flexible attendance policy
  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits with options at $0 monthly, effective first day of employment
  • Up to 85% discount on subscriptions to HelloFresh meal plans (HelloFresh, Green Chef, Everyplate, and Factor_)
  • Access to Employee Resource Groups that are open to all employees, including those pertaining to BIPOC, women, veterans, parents, and LGBTQ+
  • Inclusive, collaborative, and dynamic work environment within a fast-paced, mission-driven company that is disrupting the traditional food supply chain

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
