In this responsible key position, you actively shape the bakery production at the Gossau site and make a significant contribution to a safe, efficient and economical production.
- You are responsible for the operational and personnel management of the entire bakery production with around 100 employees in a three-shift operation. You specifically control the organisation through your directly subordinate managers.

- You reliably ensure compliance with the requirements in the areas of occupational safety, hygiene, quality and food safety as well as the defined process and recipe requirements.
- As a leader, you promote and develop your directly subordinate managers and drive continuous improvements with suitable lean methods.
- You actively contribute to the HACCP team and crisis management. In case of absence, you represent the bakery management and take responsibility in the management team of the Gossau site.
Requirements
- Several years of experience in industrial food production or in a comparable industrial production environment form an important basis for this role.
- In your previous career, you have already gained leadership experience and learned to effectively manage larger organisations through managers.
- A clear, appreciative and binding leadership style characterises you. Even in demanding situations, you keep an overview and provide orientation.
- Technical understanding, a quick grasp and networked thinking help you to quickly recognise connections and make well-founded decisions.
- With your structured and solution-oriented way of working as well as your organisational talent, you implement topics consistently and sustainably.
- Fluent German skills in spoken and written form are required. Business management training is an advantage.
