About Wydaho Roasters
Wydaho Roasters is a specialty coffee roaster, café, and scratch bakery with locations in Driggs and Victor, on the quiet west side of the Tetons. We mix, laminate, proof, and bake everything in house — no par-baking, no reheating, no frozen finishing. Our program runs deep on laminated dough, French pastries, cakes, and breads, and we’re growing fast. We’re hiring an experienced baker to help lead that growth.
The Role
As Assistant Bakery Manager & Production Lead, you’ll run daily scratch production, support and develop our team of bakers, and work directly with the owners and general manager to scale recipes and curate our menus. This is a hands-on leadership role — in the mix every morning, setting the pace and holding the standard — with real ownership and real room to grow as the bakery does.
What You’ll Do
- Lead daily scratch production from mixing through bake — no par-baking or reheating
- Scale recipes accurately for production volume and develop new ones as the menu evolves
- Work directly with the owners to curate and refine the bakery menu across seasons
- Manage daily production, mixing, and workflow schedules
- Maintain product quality and consistency across all bakery offerings
- Train and coach team members on baking techniques and production standards
- Help manage inventory, ingredient organization, and FIFO practices
- Monitor waste and find ways to improve efficiency and reduce loss
- Help maintain bakery equipment and support preventative maintenance
- Lead by example through consistency, accountability, curiosity, and a willingness to jump in wherever the team needs you
What We’re Looking For
- Minimum 4 years of professional bakery experience, preferably in a high-volume scratch production environment
- Scratch baking experience is essential — you build products from raw ingredients, not finish frozen ones
- Strong pastry experience is a huge plus — laminated dough especially
- Confident scaling recipes and contributing to recipe development
- Bilingual English/Spanish is a nice to have
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
- Able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
- A genuine interest in teaching, coaching, and developing others
- Comfortable receiving feedback and always looking to learn
- Strong communicator with a collaborative mindset
Compensation & Benefits
We’ve built this into a total compensation package designed to let you actually live well here, not just get by:
- $40,000–$60,000 base salary, depending on experience
- Housing included — your own place to live in one of the most sought-after valleys in the country. In a market where housing is the single biggest hurdle for service-industry folks, this is the centerpiece of the offer, not an afterthought.
- Fully covered health insurance — premiums on us
- 401(k) retirement plan
- Paid time off
Add it up and the total value lands well above the base salary alone — we’d rather invest in someone staying and growing with us for the long haul.
Why Teton Valley
This is the part we can’t fake. You’d be living and working on the quiet side of the Tetons — Grand Targhee powder, the Teton River, blue-ribbon fly fishing, endless trails, and Jackson Hole just over the pass when you want it. It’s a tight community that looks out for each other, with real four-season mountain living right out the door. The housing market here is brutal for most service-industry folks, which is exactly why we include it — so you can plant roots and enjoy the place instead of just scraping by in it.
If you take pride in your craft, like building up the people around you, and want to do it somewhere genuinely beautiful, we’d love to meet you.
