Our unique organic milk comes from grass-fed cows on small family farms, pasteurized at the lowest legal temperature, non-homogenized, and verified regenerative through Land to Market- which means that our cows are grazed in a way that enhances the environment, rather than harming it.

  • Investigate quality or compliance issues, determine root causes, and implement corrective actions.

Performance Metrics & Analytics
  • Develop, track, and analyze key production KPIs (e.g., yield, throughput, downtime, labor efficiency, quality metrics).
  • Translate operational data into insights that drive performance improvements.
  • Establish standards for performance and accountability across teams.
  • Identify trends, gaps, and opportunities using data-driven analysis.

Continuous Improvement & Problem Solving
  • Identify and implement strategies to improve plant performance and exceed KPIs.
  • Lead root cause analysis and structured problem-solving initiatives.
  • Monitor operations to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies; implement sustainable solutions.
  • Drive process improvements that enhance productivity, quality, and cost efficiency.
  • Support and lead change initiatives, including new processes, equipment, or technologies.

Collaboration & Communication
  • Partner with cross-functional teams including Quality, Maintenance, Supply Chain, R&D, and HR.
  • Communicate clear expectations, goals, and performance updates across all levels of the organization.
  • Align operational priorities with broader business objectives.
  • Lead regular production meetings focused on safety, performance, and continuous improvement.

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE
  • Bachelor's degree in Food Science, Dairy Science, Agriculture, Engineering, Operations, or related field preferred.
  • 7+ years of progressive leadership experience in dairy, food manufacturing, or fluid processing environments.
  • Strong knowledge of food safety and regulatory compliance (GMP, HACCP, SQF, OSHA, FDA, USDA).
  • Proven ability to lead teams, develop people, and drive operational results.
  • Demonstrated experience with KPI development, performance metrics, and data analysis.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with experience in root cause analysis and process improvement.
