What You'll Bring

• A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
• Hands-on command of People Management, with Attention Management as a close second
• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat

There's a reason general leaders keep calling PepsiCo: this ruthlessly-focused Denton, TX team simply refuses to ship anything mediocre. We default to writing things down so the whole general team stays in the loop without endless meetings.

A $89,000 - $142,000 base, a growth plan with teeth, mentorship from people who care, and flexibility baked in, that is what PepsiCo puts forward.

The team just got the green light to hire, and this Lean Six Sigma Manager role is first up.
