SEASONED FOR SUCCESS:

No two days here are the same.

We try to be good team members and good communicators, but we don’t live by hierarchy and structure – everyone is a difference maker here.

We make a lot of decisions in the face of incomplete information – our team embraces ambiguity and tries to make good decisions fast rather than great decisions slow.

We believe our job is to take smart risk, not to eliminate risk.

Responsibilities

Kinder’s is aggressively expanding into protein, including meat snacks and frozen products, and we’re looking for a sourcing leader who knows this space and is excited to help build it.

The Director, Sourcing (Protein) will own and scale our sourcing capabilities across protein and core ingredients—building the supplier network, navigating market volatility, and enabling rapid product innovation.

You’ll be stepping into a business that is scaling quickly, where structure is still being built and priorities evolve fast.

This role is ideal for someone who brings deep subject matter expertise in protein sourcing and wants to take a hands-on role in shaping how sourcing operates at a growing, entrepreneurial company.
