WHAT WE ARE HUNGRY FOR

At Paris Baguette, we believe joy is baked fresh every day. We're hiring for two hands-on leadership roles — Lead Baker and Lead Caker — and welcome applicants for either. As the Lead Baker, you are the heartbeat of our back-of-house operations, executing our bread and pastry recipes with precision while balancing hands-on production with daily leadership.

Collaborate with café management to balance food cost and labor
Monitor equipment and ingredient inventory, notifying supervisors timely of any issues or shortages
Complete waste logs, production sheets, or prep reports, as required
Train and onboard new Bakers with clarity and support
