Food Safety: In-depth knowledge of food contamination risk control and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
Business Acumen: Comfort with input control, recipe standardization, cost management, and inventory oversight
Leadership: Ability to communicate effectively, develop talent, promote engagement, and lead a team in a fast-paced environment
