Job Description

🚀 Calling All Operational Trailblazers!

📍 Location: On-site | Houston, TX

💼 Director of Operations | Food Manufacturing + DTC Fulfillment

Are you obsessed with process perfection? Do you thrive on scaling systems, empowering teams, and turning chaos into beautiful order? If you're ready to step into a role that blends innovation, impact, and leadership —we want to hear from you.

We’re a fast-growing, mission-driven educational company redefining how children experience STEM—through the joy of cooking. Think baking meets learning, with millions of kits sent directly to doorsteps each year. And we’re just getting started.

As our next Director of Operations , you won’t just manage a plant—you’ll own the engine that powers growth. From raw ingredients to shipped smiles, you’ll lead every step of the journey.

💡 What You’ll Own

  • Full oversight of our manufacturing and fulfillment operations
  • Leadership of food safety, quality control, SOPs, and continuous improvement
  • End-to-end data use: forecasting, labor planning, cost analysis, and scaling
  • A passionate, high-output warehouse team (and daily standups to keep us aligned)
  • Rapid optimization of systems as we scale from 8M → 25M+ in revenue

🧠 What You Bring

  • 5+ years of ops leadership, ideally in food, CPG, or subscription fulfillment
  • Direct-to-consumer & small parcel shipping know-how (bonus if you've scaled before)
  • Mastery of Shopify, Katana, Shiphero, or Recharge (or you learn fast)
  • Deep comfort with on-the-floor leadership —this is not a desk job
  • Grit, drive, detail obsession—and a no-BS, “let’s make it happen” mindset

🎯 Extra Credit For

  • ISO/SQF/Food Safety experience
  • Military or logistics backgrounds
  • A love of kids, creativity, and building something that matters

💵 Compensation + Perks

  • $120K–$170K base + performance bonuses
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • PTO + 401(k) + growth opportunities
  • A high-growth team obsessed with building a category-defining brand

🚦The Interview Flow

  1. Intro call with leadership
  2. On-site tour + team meet-and-greet

This is your chance to build something lasting—and help shape the future of how kids learn.

If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and lead a rocket ship from the inside out, we’re ready for you.

🔗 Apply now and turn your operational superpowers into a legacy.
