Remote Recipe Development Jobs in Frisco, TX (NOW HIRING)

Operations Support Specialist - SusieCakes (Remote)
Before You ApplyThis role requires direct, hands-on experience in food service, retail, or hospitality working on the floor, behind the counter, or in a guest-facing environment. If you have not worked in one of these industries in a frontline or operational capacity, this role is not the right fit at this time.
At SusieCakes, we make old-fashioned, sentimental dessert favorites-just like you remember from childhood. Our bakeries are filled with the delicious sights and smells of scratch-made cakes, cupcakes, cookies, pies, and bars, baked fresh daily using the finest ingredients. Our signature Celebration Cake is a staple on tens of thousands of tables. We blend nostalgic charm with the warmth of a modern neighborhood bakery.
Our purpose: Connecting through Celebration.
