Location: Wheeling, IL
Salary: $85K – $120K + Profit Sharing ($10K–$20K+ potential annually)
Shift: 1st Shift (5 a.m. – 3 p.m.) / 2nd Shift (3 p.m. – 11 p.m., seasonal)

About the Role
We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Production Manager to lead operations at a baked food manufacturing facility. This is a unique opportunity for a proven food manufacturing leader to take ownership of production, drive operational excellence, and build on a strong foundation of quality and efficiency.
This is not a highly automated corporate environment. Our facilities are high-volume batch operations that require practical, on-the-floor leadership, operational rigor, and a collaborative approach. The ideal candidate thrives in smaller, founder-led companies while delivering results with humility, transparency, and strong analytical insight.
