Job description

• Lead production as our resident expert in sourdough and pastry — from fermentation schedules to lamination, you set the standard.
• Train and motivate our local team, running hands-on workshops and mentoring junior bakers to raise the skill level across the board.

• Manage wastage and costings — track ingredient use, minimize loss, and keep production costs aligned with targets.
• Report on the numbers — provide clear, regular reporting on output, costs, and efficiency to management.
• Improve workflow and efficiency — identify bottlenecks and re-design processes so the bakery runs smoother as we grow.
• Solve problems on the fly — equipment issues, ingredient shortages, scheduling conflicts — you find the fix, not just the issue.
• Communicate clearly — fluent English and strong communication skills are essential, both with the team and with management.
