Senior Manager, Corporate Sanitation

Post Consumer Brands • Lakeville, MN

64d • Remote

About The Position

At Post Consumer Brands, we’re on a mission to make lives better by making delicious food accessible for all. As part of our growing Quality & Food Safety (QFS) team, you’ll lead sanitation strategy across our newly acquired 8th Avenue facilities — including nut butter and dry food processing plants — helping shape the future of food safety in environments.
This is a high-visibility, multi-site role for someone who’s ready to teach, lead, and elevate sanitation practices across the board.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree (required).
• 10–15 years of experience in food manufacturing, with at least 5 years in sanitation leadership.
• Deep knowledge of dry sanitation protocols, allergen control, pest management, and sanitary design.
• Familiarity with FDA, USDA, HACCP, HARPC, and environmental monitoring programs.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Experience with CIP systems and sanitation chemical cost controls.

Nice To Haves

• HACCP/PCQI certification preferred.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement industry-leading sanitation standards for dry cleaning operations (and wet cleaning where needed) across multiple sites within product categories.
• Lead sanitation initiatives across multiple sites, partnering with Ops, QFS, Engineering, Procurement, and vendors.
• Monitor key metrics (chemical usage, water usage, MSS completion, sanitation effectiveness) and drive continuous improvement.
• Conduct audits and deep dives to assess sanitation systems and identify opportunities.
• Spearhead pest control strategy and vendor selection.
• Guide integration of new facilities and acquisitions into PCB sanitation standards.
• Ensure equipment and facilities are designed for effective cleaning and sanitation.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to prioritize capital projects that improve sanitary design.
• Stay current with industry best practices and FDA guidance, especially around low-moisture ready-to-eat (RTE) products.
• Support and coach plant sanitation managers and supervisors — no direct reports, but strong dotted-line influence.
• Help build robust environmental monitoring programs and lead root cause analysis when issues arise.
• Partner with Procurement to manage chemical and sanitation service vendors.
• Travel to sites (~70%) to provide hands-on support, training, and leadership. The role is remote; being centrally located, close to an airport, is helpful to get to the different locations.

Benefits

• Be part of a new, innovative QFS leadership team with room to grow and shape the future.
• Work on high-impact programs with visibility across the organization.
• Help ensure the safety of household staples millions rely on.
• Enjoy upward mobility, autonomy, and a chance to build something meaningful.
