About the job

Head of Food Production, 100%

Our mission is clear: to make high-quality sushi accessible to everyone. Behind every product that leaves our kitchen on time, in the right quality and quantity, there is a system that works. As Head of Food Production, you ensure that this succeeds every day.

This role is part of a rapidly growing food business where quality is non-negotiable and high demands are placed on planning and leadership daily. You will mainly work between 05:00 and 15:00 in a 7-day operation. If you enjoy ensuring standards, implementing processes precisely, and reliably delivering performance with your team every day, this role could be for you.

Your mission as Head of Department:

You will be part of a team of four heads of department who, together with production management, take responsibility for our production.

Responsible for your production area:

Together with production management, you are responsible for the operational running of your area. You ensure that quality, hygiene, and efficiency requirements are met daily—not approximately, but exactly. The volumes must be correct. The quality must not fluctuate.

Ensuring quality and standards:

You consistently implement all quality and hygiene requirements (HACCP). You conduct inspections, detect deviations early, and act immediately.

Developing your team:

You lead your team fairly but demanding. You coordinate tasks with clear goals, regular feedback, and personal presence on the floor. You take on shift planning, onboarding, and development—because the quality of your area starts with your team.

This is you—or how we imagine you:

• Professional depth: Several years of professional experience in food production or a comparable operational environment. Completed vocational training EFZ or degree in the food sector (e.g., food technology, food sciences).
• Conscious leadership: Several years of leadership experience. You understand leadership as responsibility for people and results. You set clear expectations, lead by example, and build trust through consistency.
• Standards without compromise: You do not accept shortcuts at the expense of quality. For you, good is never good enough if it does not meet the standard. You hold yourself to the same standards as others.

Who thrives in this role:

• Someone who combines deep expertise with consistent precision. Calm but clear. Thorough, reliable, and focused on not just getting things done but getting them exactly right.
• Someone who combines high standards with genuine responsibility for their team. Who provides guidance, enables development, and remains present even in demanding situations.
• Someone who makes decisions consciously. Who takes the time to weigh relevant facts to make a well-founded decision. Who communicates clearly and acts consistently when it matters.

This is a role for someone who finds true satisfaction in getting complex processes running exactly right every day.

What else to expect with us

• A steep learning curve in a rapidly growing company
• Direct responsibility and real development opportunities
• TINY Sushi benefits and discounts on our products
• Discounted lunch in our small canteen
• Working hours mainly between 05:00 and 15:00 in a 7-day operation
• Salary range of CHF 91,000 - 97,000 gross annual salary, depending on experience and qualifications

We are not looking for the most experienced candidate. We are looking for the right person. Someone whose personality fits what this role truly entails.
