About The Position

What began as a commissary kitchen supporting Twelve, Evo Kitchen + Bar, The Good Table, and Douro has grown into its own brand: Not a Bakery (NAB).

Today, NAB wholesales to select purveyors and offers seasonal retail service from a food trailer in Portland, Maine. Built on a foundation of culinary craft, NAB focuses on producing exceptional breads and pastries that honor classic techniques while embracing thoughtful innovation. Our team is committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality and consistency while fostering a collaborative, respectful, and growth-oriented workplace. We’re looking for a dedicated, detail-oriented Baker to join the Not A Bakery team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced production environment, loves the science and artistry of baking, and takes pride in producing high-quality products that reflect our commitment to excellence. From mixing doughs and laminating pastries to overseeing proofing, baking, and packaging, you’ll play a key part in ensuring that NAB’s products meet the highest standards every day. You’ll work closely with our pastry and production team to execute daily production schedules, maintain consistency, and help evolve our menu as we grow.
