About Us:
We launched Texas Hill Country Provisions (THC Provisions) in early 2020 with a mission to create quality products that celebrate the unique and magical aspects of our beloved home state. Starting with high-quality Texas-inspired apparel, we expanded in early 2023 to launch Chill Country Cannabis, offering a line of organic full-spectrum cannabis edibles.
Chill Country is rapidly becoming the premiere cannabis brand in Texas, and we’re seeking exceptional people to help us grow.
About the Job Opportunity:
This is a unique, hands-on opportunity to work in a dynamic, fast-growing company where curiosity and initiative are highly valued. As part of our gummy production team, you’ll not only develop a deep understanding of food production processes but also explore the science behind them—like why pectin only forms bonds at certain pH levels or how sodium citrate buffers a solution.
If you’re eager to learn, thrive in a collaborative environment, and want to help shape the future of a leading cannabis brand, this role is for you. Everyone at Chill Country plays a significant role in the company’s growth and has a high degree of agency in their work.
Responsibilities:
- Lead daily production operations alongside the team, including ingredient handling, cooking, and packaging.
- Train, supervise, and mentor team members to ensure operational efficiency.
- Manage production schedules and ensure timely delivery of finished products.
- Oversee ingredient inventory and coordinate with the COO for procurement.
- Maintain strict adherence to food safety protocols and operational SOPs.
- Monitor and analyze production metrics to identify opportunities for improvement.
- Ensure the cleanliness and organization of the kitchen and equipment.
- Recruit and onboard additional team members during peak production periods.
Qualifications:
- Previous experience in a commercial kitchen or manufacturing environment is a plus.
- Strong leadership and organizational skills.
- A proactive, problem-solving mindset with a passion for learning.
- Familiarity with food safety and sanitation standards.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.
- Proficiency in spreadsheet software (e.g., Google Sheets, Excel) and general computer skills.
