Job description

Are you the person who always knows where every case is, what's on the next truck, and whether the numbers tie out? Legacy Bakehouse is looking for a hands-on Supply Chain Coordinator to own the day-to-day supply program for one of our most important customers.

ABOUT LEGACY BAKEHOUSE

Legacy Bakehouse is a fast-growing food manufacturer producing high-quality baked goods across multiple production facilities. We serve national retail and foodservice customers and we take pride in building supply chain partnerships that support our growth and our commitment to quality. If you want to work somewhere your decisions matter - this is the place.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Legacy Bakehouse supports a key national customer through a dedicated supply program, and we need a detail-driven Supply Chain Coordinator to run it. You will be the point person for scheduling, ordering, receiving, and shipping for this account, and you will make sure every inventory and quantity movement is recorded correctly in both our ERP system and the customer's system so the two always match. You will work closely with Planning, Operations, the warehouse, Quality, and Finance, and as you get established, you will also help our purchasing team with general buying needs across the business.
