Job Description

Own a flagship operation | Build something exceptional | Melbourne (Braeside)

n

If you're the kind of production leader who wants full ownership - not just responsibility - this is a role where you can genuinely make your mark.

n

Baker Bleu is entering a new phase: a purpose-built, state-of-the-art bread production facility designed to scale without compromising craftsmanship. What's missing is the right leader to take it from potential to world-class.

n

This is your opportunity to step into a flagship operation and shape how it runs, how it grows, and what it becomes.

n

Why this role stands out

n

You won't be inheriting a steady-state operation. You're stepping into a pivotal moment -taking ownership of a brand-new facility, and setting the standard for what great looks like at scale.

n

You'll have the autonomy to run the site as if it were your own, backed by a business that has always chosen discipline and craft over shortcuts. The leadership team is invested in getting this right - and in the person who leads it.

n

If you've ever wanted to combine deep operational ownership with a product worth being proud of, this is that role.

n

What you'll get to do

n

Take full ownership of a major production site - people, product, performance, and everything in between

n

Shape systems, workflows, and reporting structures in a facility built to grow

n

Build and lead a skilled team through a period of genuine transformation

n

Hold quality at scale without diluting what makes Baker Bleu exceptional

n





Drive efficiency and commercial outcomes with real decision-making authority

n

Play a central role in the next chapter of one of Australia's most respected independent bakeries

n

What you'll gain

n

A genuine senior leadership role - not a middle layer, not a caretaker position

n

The chance to build something enduring in a facility designed around your operation

n

A direct line to the Head of Production and a leadership team that backs good operators

n

Targeted career development through external industry specialists

n

The satisfaction of seeing your decisions translate directly into results - on the floor, in the numbers, and in the culture

n

About Baker Bleu

n

Founded in 2016, Baker Bleu grew from a single neighborhood bakery into a respected multi-site operation across two states - without losing its commitment to long fermentation sourdough, ethical sourcing, and disciplined process.

n

Growth here hasn't meant compromise. It's meant raising the bar. This next phase is about proving that scale and quality can coexist, and you'll be central to making that real.

n

Who this will suit

n

This role is for someone who wants more than a job title. You're likely already leading production in a food, bakery, or FMCG environment - but you're looking for a role where you can truly own outcomes, build a team your way, and push standards higher.

n

You care about doing things properly. You back yourself to lead people through change. And you want a role where your impact is visible.

n

If you're ready to do the best work of your career, this is your platform.
