About Nassau Candy

Nassau Candy is a leading manufacturer and distributor of specialty confections, fine foods, and promotional products. Through divisions such as NC Custom, Chocolate Inn, AmuseMints, and Lanco, we deliver high-quality, customized solutions with speed, precision, and scale.

Our operations are built to support high-volume, high-mix production with rapid turnaround times, often within 2472 hours, while maintaining the highest standards of food safety and quality.

Position Overview

We are seeking a high-impact Plant Manager to lead day-to-day operations across a fast-paced promotional products environment, including food and chocolate production, fulfillment, and packaging.

This is a hands-on leadership role focused on execution, accountability, and performance. The Plant Manager will own the floor, lead teams across shifts, and ensure the operation is set up for success from close to open every day.

Key Responsibilities

Operational Leadership

  • Lead all daily plant operations across production, fulfillment, and shipping
  • Drive execution to meet aggressive ship dates in a high-volume, short lead-time environment
  • Maintain full visibility across all orders and actively "order chase" to ensure nothing falls behind
  • Ensure operational readiness from close to open, including staffing, materials, and priorities

Throughput & Efficiency

  • Improve output across all departments, with a strong focus on bottleneck identification and resolution
  • Drive labor efficiency and manage payroll within budget expectations
  • Implement process improvements to increase throughput without adding unnecessary cost
  • Balance workload across departments to maintain consistent production flow

Team Leadership & Accountability

  • Lead, coach, and develop supervisors and production teams across the facility
  • Establish and enforce clear performance expectations and daily metrics
  • Hold teams accountable to productivity, quality, and safety standards
  • Build a culture of urgency, ownership, and continuous improvement

Scheduling & Execution Alignment

  • Partner closely with Scheduling and Planning to ensure realistic, executable production plans
  • Ensure alignment between production, packing, and shipping operations
  • Monitor real-time performance and adjust labor and resources as needed

Food Safety & Compliance

  • Ensure full compliance with GMP, FDA, HACCP, and all food safety requirements
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and audit-ready facility at all times
  • Partner with QA/QC to uphold product integrity, consistency, and regulatory standards

Cross-Functional Coordination

  • Collaborate with Customer Service, Sales, and Operations Leadership
  • Provide clear communication on order status, risks, and recovery plans
  • Support new product launches and ensure operational readiness for new items

Qualifications

  • 710+ years of plant or operations management experience
  • Background in food production, packaging, or regulated manufacturing required
  • Experience in high-mix, high-volume environments with short lead times

Strong working knowledge of:

  • Throughput and capacity management
  • Labor planning and payroll control
  • Production scheduling and execution
  • Proven leadership ability in fast-paced, execution-driven environments
  • Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills
  • Working knowledge of food safety standards (GMP, FDA, HACCP preferred)

What We Offer

  • Competitive base salary ($140,000 $160,000) with performance-driven upside
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Opportunity to lead a mission-critical operation within a growing, family-owned business
  • A culture focused on execution, accountability, and continuous improvement

Join Nassau Candy
