We’re hiring a supply‑side project manager to lead external manufacturing programs and serve as the primary link between our team and our contract packaging partners. Hybrid role in the SLC area, this role is critical to keeping our growing co‑manufacturing network running on time and on spec.

You’ll manage customer‑facing initiatives from kickoff to final delivery—building production plans, navigating supply chain challenges, and coordinating with internal teams across planning, logistics, procurement, and operations.

• Measure results against KPIs related to OTIF, service level, and cost management
• Lead reporting and updates for both internal leadership and external clients
• Recommend and support supply chain improvements to increase efficiency as the company scales

• BS in Supply Chain, Business, Operations, Sales & Marketing or a related field
• 5–10 years of experience in a project manager role supporting manufacturing, must have food, beverage or CPG experience
• PMP certified is a plus
• Direct experience working with contract manufacturers or co‑packers strongly preferred
• Proficiency in SAP or similar ERP systems (Oracle, Net Suite, etc.)
• Ability to manage multiple moving parts across facilities and departments
• Comfortable in a client‑facing role—confident communicator, planner, and problem‑solver
• Proactive mindset with the ability to drive timelines, anticipate challenges, and collaborate under pressure
• Team‑oriented approach with a willingness to jump in wherever needed
