Key responsibilities

  • Lead the overall day-to-day operations of the facility, including production, warehouse, transportation, inventory, and sanitation functions.

  • Oversee meat and protein processing operations, including cutting, portioning, trimming, grinding, packaging, and labeling.

  • Maintain strict temperature-control standards and ensure compliance with cold chain procedures to protect product quality and food safety.

Job description

Overview
Mr Greens, through Verdi Fine Foods, operates a protein processing and distribution facility in Hallandale Beach, Florida. Our operation supports customers across the hospitality and foodservice industries with a strong commitment to quality, food safety, service, and operational excellence.
The ideal candidate will have extensive experience managing frozen food, protein, meat, poultry, or food distribution operations and possess a strong understanding of cold chain logistics, food safety regulations, production, warehouse management, inventory control, and transportation operations. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for driving operational performance across processing, warehouse, transportation, inventory control, and sanitation while maintaining the highest standards of food safety, quality, service, and profitability.
Key Responsibilities
Operations & Distribution Management
  • Lead the overall day-to-day operations of the facility, ensuring production, warehouse, transportation, inventory, and sanitation functions operate efficiently and cohesively.
  • Develop and implement operational processes that improve efficiency, accuracy, service, and profitability.
  • Oversee the end-to-end distribution flow - receiving, put-away, slotting, replenishment, selection, staging, and loading - across cooler and freezer operations, with fill rate and order accuracy as key priorities.
  • Ensure production schedules and customer commitments are met while maintaining product quality and food safety standards.
  • Monitor operational KPIs, including order accuracy, on-time delivery, inventory accuracy, labor productivity, product yield, waste, and shrinkage.
  • Coordinate closely with Sales, Procurement, Transportation, Customer Service, Food Safety/Quality Assurance, and other departments to meet customer and operational requirements.
  • Identify operational challenges and implement continuous improvement initiatives to increase productivity, reduce downtime, and improve overall performance.

Processing & Value-Added Production
  • Oversee meat and protein processing operations, including cutting, portioning, trimming, grinding, packaging, labeling, and other value-added production.
  • Manage production scheduling, line balancing, crew assignments, and daily output against customer commitments.
  • Establish and maintain standard yields by cut; conduct and interpret yield tests and control giveaway and overfill on portion-cut items.
  • Maintain product specification integrity and ensure finished products consistently meet customer requirements.
  • Monitor production efficiencies, labor utilization, product yields, and waste reduction opportunities.
  • Maintain rigorous sanitation and product-handling practices throughout processing and exposed-product areas.

Cold Chain & Product Integrity
  • Maintain strict temperature-control standards for frozen and refrigerated inventory.
  • Ensure compliance with cold chain procedures to protect product quality and food safety.
  • Monitor freezer, cooler, and storage systems and ensure temperature deviations are addressed immediately.
  • Ensure proper handling and storage practices for beef, chicken, pork, turkey, seafood, and other perishable products.

Inventory Management
  • Maintain accurate inventory through cycle counts, physical inventories, and effective inventory-control procedures.
  • Minimize product loss, spoilage, shrinkage, and obsolete inventory.
  • Ensure compliance with FIFO/FEFO, product rotation, and code-date management procedures.
  • Reconcile catch-weight variances and drive root-cause analysis of material inventory discrepancies.
  • Partner with Procurement to maintain appropriate stock levels and support efficient inventory turnover.

Food Safety & Regulatory Compliance
  • Ensure operational compliance with USDA-FSIS, FDA, HACCP, GMP, SSOP, FSMA, OSHA, and Company food safety and sanitation requirements.
  • Partner closely with Food Safety/Quality Assurance to ensure compliance with the facility's HACCP program and maintain readiness for regulatory and third-party inspections.
  • Ensure sanitation procedures for production rooms, equipment, coolers, freezers, and processing areas are consistently followed.
  • Support environmental monitoring and Listeria-control practices in applicable exposed-product areas.
  • Conduct routine operational inspections and promptly address food safety, quality, or regulatory concerns.
  • Maintain operational readiness for product traceability and recall requirements, including applicable FSMA 204 recordkeeping requirements.

Leadership & Team Development
  • Provide direct leadership and accountability for warehouse, processing, transportation, inventory control, and sanitation functions, ensuring all departments work toward common service, safety, quality, and financial objectives.
  • Lead, coach, and hold supervisors and department leads accountable for performance within their respective areas.
  • Establish clear expectations for safety, quality, productivity, attendance, service, and overall performance.
  • Develop staffing and labor plans based on production volumes, customer requirements, and operational needs.
  • Train and develop employees on proper product handling, processing techniques, safety procedures, sanitation, and food safety protocols.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, teamwork, continuous improvement, and operational excellence.
  • Address performance concerns promptly and partner with Human Resources when corrective action or additional employee support is required.

Financial & Performance Accountability
  • Manage labor and operational expenses against established budgets and performance targets.
  • Monitor labor utilization, overtime, yields, waste, shrinkage, and other key cost drivers.
  • Identify cost-saving and efficiency opportunities without compromising food safety, product quality, or customer service.
  • Analyze operational results and take corrective action when performance falls outside established targets.
  • Provide leadership with regular updates regarding operational performance, challenges, and improvement initiatives.

Preferred Qualifications
  • HACCP Certification.
  • Food Safety Certification.
  • Lean, Six Sigma, or Continuous Improvement experience.
  • Experience with USDA-inspected protein facilities.
  • Bilingual English/Spanish preferred.
