I am looking to fill a role for one of our portfolio companies, a bakery that operates retail, wholesale, and a Co-Packing facility for CPG clients.
We are seeking a hands-on Retail Operations Manager to oversee daily operations across our retail locations while supporting coordination with back-of-house production. This role is responsible for:
- Driving sales
- Ensuring exceptional customer experience
- Maintaining operational consistency
- Enhancing ambiance and brand
- Aligning retail demand with production output
This is an on-the-floor leadership role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced food environment and is comfortable balancing people management, inventory, and process improvement.
This pivotal leadership role sits on the leadership team responsible for making high-impact decisions that directly drive the company's planned growth and turnaround.
If you know of anyone who might be a good fit, please pass along my information.
