Zera Noya Dutch Bakery is hiring a Kitchen Operations Lead to run our kitchens day to day. We're a growing, close-knit team, and we're looking for someone to take ownership of how our kitchens run - planning production, guiding the team, and helping us build systems and processes as we scale.

What you'll do
- Plan daily and weekly production based on demand, pre-orders and stock
- Lead the kitchen team - rosters, delegation, coaching and performance
- Maintain quality and consistency across our Production and Assembly Kitchens
- Manage raw materials, stock levels and wastage
- Uphold food safety and hygiene standards
- Spot inefficiencies and build better systems as we grow

What we're looking for
- Minimum 3 years in baking/kitchen operations, including at least 2 years hands-on production and 1 year in a leadership or supervisory role
- Someone who leads by example, treats people with respect,



and leads with humility
- Comfortable being hands-on as this is a working leadership role, not a desk job
- Enjoys leading people and wants to be part of something constantly evolving

Why Zera Noya
You'll be joining a bakery that's still building its systems from the ground up, meaning your decisions and ownership will genuinely shape how we operate. Current hires rotate through production shifts for their first two months to learn our products and processes before stepping fully into the role.

If you're looking for a leadership role where your ownership genuinely shapes the outcome, this is it. Apply now.

Pay: ₹32,000.00 - ₹42,000.00 per month

Work Location: In person
