At Hy-Vee, our bakery department helps customers celebrate life's biggest moments, and our Bakery Cake Designers are at the heart of making those moments special.

  • Apply strong decorating skills and stay current on cake design trends and techniques
  • Solve practical problems and follow instructions carefully in a fast-paced environment
  • Apply math skills including fractions, decimals, and percentages in day-to-day tasks
  • Lead and guide part-time employees, providing instruction and reviewing their work
  • Communicate clearly with customers, co-workers, and the Bakery Manager

Reporting Relationships
Accountable and Reports to: Store Director; Store Manager; Assistant Managers of Perishables, Store Operations, Health Wellness Home; Bakery Department Manager
Education and Experience
  • High school diploma or equivalent experience
  • Six months or less of similar or related work experience; we'll provide all the training you need to succeed

Physical Requirements
  • Frequently stand and walk throughout a shift in sales, food service, or delivery areas
  • Where applicable to the role: ability to safely use sharp knives and blades for food preparation
  • Where applicable to the role: exposure to heat- and burn-related hazards associated with cooking, baking, or grilling equipment
  • Where applicable to the role: ability to operate a delivery vehicle in accordance with applicable DOT standards
  • Perform repetitive standing, walking, reaching, and bending associated with order fulfillment, POS transactions, and cleaning/sanitation duties
