Job description

Vice President of Manufacturing (Food & Beverage)

Full Time Role

Utica, NY Onsite


Position Summary

We are seeking a senior, plant-focused Product Developer to lead the formulation and commercialization of yeast-leavened dough systems in a high-volume manufacturing environment. This role bridges research and development and operations, with a focus on fermentation control, flour functionality, enzyme systems, and real-world production performance.

This is a hands-on role that requires time on the production floor to ensure products are scalable, consistent, and efficient in a manufacturing setting.


Key Responsibilities

Dough and Fermentation Development

  • Design and optimize yeast-leavened dough systems (fresh, par-baked, frozen)
  • Manage fermentation performance including proofing behavior and gas retention
  • Troubleshoot frozen dough stability and baking performance

Flour and Ingredient Functionality

  • Manage flour variability across suppliers and seasonal changes
  • Optimize protein levels and gluten development
  • Evaluate enzyme systems for consistency, shelf life, and performance

Plant Integration and Line Optimization

  • Work directly with operations on the production floor
  • Troubleshoot issues such as stickiness, tearing, shrinkage, and variability
  • Translate technical solutions into practical, operator-friendly processes

Commercialization and Scale-Up

  • Lead plant trials and production start-ups
  • Partner with procurement on ingredient specifications
  • Ensure products meet cost, yield, and throughput targets

Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Collaborate with R&D, QA, Operations, and Sales
  • Train plant personnel on new products and processes
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives

Qualifications

  • 8–15+ years of experience in bakery, pizza, or yeast-leavened dough systems (industrial scale required)
  • Strong expertise in fermentation, frozen dough systems, flour functionality, and enzyme systems
  • Hands-on plant experience required
  • Strong understanding of mixing, sheeting, proofing, freezing, and baking systems
  • Proven troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
