Full Job Description

Looking to take the next step in your cannabis career, or bring your kitchen leadership experience into a fast-growing industry? Join OGeez! Founded in Arizona, OGeez! is on a mission to bring its beloved, best-selling cannabis-infused gummy to the rest of the country. With our medley of amazing taste, strain-specific infusions, perfect texture, and hand-crafted love, our gummies add flavor to all of life’s special moments. Apply today to start Flavoring Life!

We’re a fast-growing and fast-moving company looking to hire a Lead Confectioner to anchor production at our Illinois facility. The Lead Confectioner runs the day-to-day operations of the kitchen — owning the production schedule, leading and developing a team of confectioners, and making sure every batch goes out on time, on spec, and in full compliance with Illinois cannabis regulations.

If you’ve managed a fast-paced kitchen, run shifts at a busy quick-serve restaurant, or led a production line and you’re ready for something with more depth and a bigger ceiling, we’d love to talk.

Day-to-day activities:

Lead daily kitchen operations — set the pace, run the line, and keep the team focused and moving.
Build and execute the production schedule to hit weekly and monthly output targets.
Train, coach, and develop the confectioner team; set clear expectations and hold the line on quality and consistency.
Own batch accuracy: verify recipes, dosage calculations, and homogenization on every run.
Draft, refine, and enforce SOPs for infusion, depositing, packaging, and sanitation.
Track and report key production metrics (yield, throughput, waste, rework) and use them to improve performance.
Manage ingredient and supply levels; flag shortages before they hit the schedule.
Keep accurate and legible production logs and METRC entries.
Troubleshoot minor equipment issues and coordinate maintenance.
Maintain a clean, organized, safe, and compliant workspace at all times.
Partner with operations, compliance, and sales on new product launches and recipe development.
Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

You’ll be a strong candidate if you have:

3+ years of experience in kitchen operations, food production, or process management — with at least 1 year leading a team or running shifts.
Proven ability to manage people in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment (quick-serve restaurant shift managers, production leads, and sous chefs encouraged to apply).
Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle scheduling, training, inventory, and quality at the same time.
Solid math skills — comfortable with recipe scaling, dosage calculations, and yield tracking.
Clear, direct communication style with coworkers, direct reports, and supervisors.
Detail oriented and able to follow and enforce meticulous instructions.
High school diploma or GED required; associate degree, 2-year culinary, or equivalent leadership training preferred.
Cannabis industry experience a plus, but not required — we’ll train the right leader.
Ability to work 40+ hours per week, on your feet for an 8-hour shift.
Reliable transportation.
Ability to lift or carry up to 50 lbs.
Must be 21 or older.
Must pass a background check and obtain an Illinois cannabis agent ID card per IDFPR/IDOA requirements.
Positive attitude and the ability to work well with others.

Compensation & Benefits

The company offers a competitive compensation and benefits package. This is a full-time hourly position. Benefits include paid parental leave, vacation time, 10 paid holidays (including 4/20), health, dental, vision, 401k, flexible spending accounts, company-paid life insurance, and company-paid short-term and long-term disability insurance.

OGeez! Brands is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply.

Pay: $24.00 - $26.00 per hour
