This is a critical role for the business, responsible for ensuring smooth, efficient, and consistent operations across our bakery as we continue to expand. We’re known for our uncompromising approach to quality, and we need someone who understands how to scale production without sacrificing what makes our products exceptional.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As our Bakery Operations Manager, you’ll oversee our entire bakery function — managing production output, leading a growing team, and ensuring our standards are met every single day. You’ll play a key role in improving systems, increasing efficiency, and working with senior management to support long-term business goals.

This is not a hands-off role — we’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, can lead from the front, and understands what it takes to run a high-performing food production facility.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Operational Management: Manage and coordinate daily bakery operations, ensuring all products are made to spec, on time, and in full.
• Team Leadership: Lead a team of bakers and team leaders, creating clear communication, structure, and accountability across shifts.
• Quality Assurance: Uphold rigorous quality control processes across all products. Work closely with our NPD Manager and bakers to maintain consistency during growth
• Process & System Improvement: Identify and implement improvements across production, staffing, stock management, and scheduling.
• Planning & Scheduling: Oversee production planning and forecasting in line with weekly order volumes, seasonal changes, and new product launches.
• Compliance & Safety: Maintain full compliance with food safety, hygiene, and health & safety regulations. Keep the bakery audit-ready at all times.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work with logistics, warehouse, store managers, and senior leadership to ensure smooth coordination across all departments.
• KPI Reporting: Track key operational metrics including output, yield, wastage, labour efficiency, and downtime – providing regular reporting to the senior team.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Minimum3–5 years' experiencein a senior operations role within bakery, patisserie, or food manufacturing
• Proven track record of leading and developing production teams in a high-output environment where you have experience and approving efficiencies
• Strong understanding of bakery production methods, food safety standards, and operational compliance
• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills
• Strong leadership style – firm but fair, clear communicator, and capable of managing change
• Comfortable using production planning tools, spreadsheets, and reporting systems
• Practical, hands-on attitude – willing to be on the floor as much as needed
• Resilient, calm under pressure, and driven to consistently improve team performance and product output

We’re not a traditional bakery. We’ve built a reputation for bold, high-quality desserts with a cult following across the UK. But behind the scenes, it’s about discipline, structure, and relentless attention to detail.

This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing food brand with real ambition – and play a pivotal role in taking our production to the next level.

What You’ll Get:

• Competitive salary based on experience (£50,000+ per annum)
• Generous staff discount on GET BAKED products (50% in-store and online)
• A fast-paced, growing environment with real autonomy and responsibility
• The opportunity to be part of an exciting, creative, and ambitious brand
