As we continue to grow, we're building a commissary-style bakery operation that will support multiple locations while creating unique, scratch-made products that help set our brand apart.

This is not a position for someone looking to simply follow recipes. We are looking for a highly skilled baker and kitchen leader who is excited to help shape and build a bakery program from the ground up.

  • Ensuring compliance with food safety and sanitation standards

  • Collaborating with ownership on menu development and bakery strategy

  • Building systems and processes that support future growth

  • Overseeing commissary production and distribution for multiple Flamingos locations

Qualifications:

  • Minimum 5 years of professional bakery experience

  • Minimum 2 years of leadership or management experience

  • Experience managing kitchen or bakery teams

  • Strong knowledge of laminated doughs, pastry production, and bread baking

  • Experience with high-volume production baking preferred

  • Strong organizational and communication skills

  • Ability to work independently and solve problems proactively

  • Passion for creativity, innovation, and continuous improvement

  • Ability to lift 50+ pounds and stand for extended periods

  • Early morning availability required

You'll Thrive Here If You Are:

  • A natural leader who enjoys mentoring others

  • Passionate about scratch baking and quality ingredients

  • Highly organized and detail-oriented

  • Creative and constantly thinking of new menu ideas

  • Excited by the opportunity to build something from the ground up

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, growing business

  • A team player who values positivity, accountability, and collaboration

Compensation & Benefits

  • Starting salary of $53,000+ annually, based on experience (up to $63,000)

  • Health and benefits package

  • Paid vacation time
