Kitchen & Ops. Manager/Choc. Maker Goodnow Farms Chocolate

  • Date Posted February 26, 2020
  • Location Sudbury, MA
  • Category Culinary / Production
  • Job type Full-Time
Company description

At Goodnow Farms, we make fine flavor, single origin dark chocolate. All of our chocolate is crafted in small batches on our 225-year-old farm in Sudbury, MA. We source our cacao through direct, equitable partnerships with farmers in Central and South America, and transform it into premium dark chocolate. We believe that great chocolate is “true to the bean” - by using beans sourced from only one farm or region we’re able to highlight the distinct flavor characteristics of that particular bean. Discovering those flavors is one of the joys of making (and eating!) single origin chocolate.

Experience is preferred but not necessary.  We will train you as long as you're willing to commit to a long-term position.

Job description

This person is responsible for overseeing the day to day operation of our chocolate kitchen. This includes overseeing the assistant chocolate maker and part-time wrapping staff. The primary day to day aspects of the job are:

- preparing task lists for each day

- overseeing staff to ensure all tasks are completed properly

- tempering and molding chocolate

- preparing orders for shipment

- invoicing

- managing inventory

- ensuring HACCP plan is followed

- quality control

- cleaning chocolate pans, molds and equipment

This position requires someone with excellent time management and communication skills. We need someone who is able to look at the big picture and communicate well. This person needs to be proactive and positive, with good people skills. We're a very small company dedicated to making award-winning chocolate from ethically sourced cacao beans - although making chocolate is a lot of work this is an enjoyable place to be and we want everyone here to share our desire for an enjoyable workplace.

The hours are very regular, 9am - 5pm Monday through Friday. We never work weekends or later than 5pm. Two weeks of paid vacation per year, plus holidays.

As there is a significant amount of training involved we are looking for someone willing to commit to becoming a long-term member of our team (at least one year, preferably longer). Must have a valid drivers license and their own reliable transportation.

Although fluent English is necessary some knowledge of Spanish is a plus.

Please note that as we are a small company we likely not be able to respond to each job application. Thanks for understanding.
