PIM​/DAM Manager

Overview

BUILT ON FLAVOR. FUELED BY PEOPLE. What’s it like to work at Kinder’s? There’s a lot of snacking and geeking out over what we all cooked over the weekend. Beyond that, there’s also plenty of hard work. We don’t just like flavor — we’re obsessed with it. With over 100 products sold nationwide, we’re a top-five brand in multiple flavor categories at Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods, and more.

We’re not your typical CPG company. Privately held and founder-led, we chart our own course and chase big ideas to make food unforgettable. As we expand globally and approach $1 billion in revenue, we need more smart-and-scrappy, flavor-obsessed people to come aboard. If you’re looking for a place where you can see the real impact of your work, this is it.

Every day, you’ll be part of a journey to add flavor to millions of meals and lives.
