Job description

Who is Cafe Bakery

Since 1987, Cafe Valley has been baking smiles one cupcake, muffin, cake, and croissant at a time—putting care and craftsmanship into every product we make. Our people are the heart of our success. We’re committed to fostering a positive, team-focused workplace where collaboration, innovation, and respect are part of everyday operations—because the best baked goods come from people who love what they do. Our employees are our special ingredient. With more than 1,700 team members baking a difference every day, we operate state-of-the-art production facilities in Phoenix, AZ and Marion, IN, where quality, safety, and teamwork rise together.

Café Valley ships frozen and temperature-controlled baked goods to retail, club, distributor, and foodservice customers across the country. This role owns how that product gets to customers: the transportation network, the external warehouse footprint, and where inventory sits along the way.

It is an analytical role with real authority. Reporting directly to our SVP of Supply Chain, this role leads the Transportation team, our 3PL partners, and works alongside Planning. Planning decides how much to make and when, and this position decides where it goes, how it gets there, and what it costs to serve.
