Production Supervisor - Third Shift

Overview

Who are we?

Since Day 1, KIND has had a vision for a kinder and healthier world. A world in which people never have to choose between what tastes good, feels good, and does good when it comes to their snacking. Our iconic KIND bars—made with real, recognizable ingredients—sparked the growth of an entirely new healthy snacking category back in 2004. Now KIND has a family of more than 80 snacks that offer solutions for a variety of occasions.

All of KIND's products lead with a nutrient-dense first ingredient—like nuts or whole grains—and do not contain genetically engineered ingredients, sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners. We’re looking for passionate collaborators to help us become the foremost leader in health & wellness and positively impact society along the way.
