a Lead Chocolatier ready to bring our chocolate program to the next level — in both craft and

operations, across our four retail locations and growing online business.

This Is a Calling, Not Just a Job

the artistry, but the discipline behind running a high-volume program day in and day out.

● Production forecasting and inventory management

● Hiring, training, and developing your team

● Driving operational efficiency and continuous system refinement across a growing

commissary

Who Thrives Here

● Years of hands-on experience in large-scale chocolate production — this is a hard

requirement

● A leader who can roll up their sleeves, push the team when it counts, and bring out the

best in people. Especially around the holiday seasons

● Someone genuinely energized by operational efficiency and process improvement

● A craftsperson who cares deeply — about the chocolate, the standards, and the people

they work alongside

What We Offer

● Full-time position

● Paid holidays and paid time off

● Competitive pay, based on experience
