Gourmet Popcorn Production Supervisor
About The Position
As our Gourmet Popcorn Production Supervisor, you'll play a key role in producing one of Grandpa Joe's fastest-growing product lines. You'll oversee popcorn production from start to finish, ensuring every batch meets our standards for quality, consistency, and freshness. This position is responsible for scheduling production, maintaining equipment, monitoring inventory, ordering popcorn kernels, oils, seasonings, coatings, packaging, and other production supplies. You'll also personally produce our signature gourmet popcorn by popping, coating, seasoning, packaging, and preparing each batch for distribution to our retail stores and wholesale customers. Because popcorn production varies based on demand, production will not occur every day. During non-production times, you'll become an important part of our retail team by assisting customers, stocking merchandise, merchandising displays, and helping create the fun, memorable shopping experience Grandpa Joe's is known for. This role isn't just about making popcorn-it's about making a difference and being part of something special.
