Kinders

<div><div><p><b>ABOUT US AT KINDER'S:</b></p>
<p></p>
<div>What's it like to work at Kinder's? Well, there's a lot of snacking and geeking out over what we all cooked over the weekend. But beyond that, there's also plenty of hard work. Because we don't just like flavor, we're obsessed with it.</div>
<div></div>
<div>With over 100 products sold nationwide, we're now a top-five brand in multiple flavor categories at Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods, and more. But we're not your typical CPG company. Privately held and founder-led, we like to think of ourselves as a pirate ship in a sea of cruise ships. Our crew is adventurous and fearless. We chart our own course and chase big ideas to make food unforgettable.</div>
<div></div>
<div>As we expand globally and approach $1 billion in revenue, we need other smart-and-scrappy, flavor-obsessed people to come aboard. If you're looking for a place where you can see the real impact of your work, this is it. Every day, you'll be part of a journey to add flavor to millions of meals and lives.</div></div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>

<ul><li><b>Demand Forecasting</b>: Develop and maintain accurate, data-driven demand forecasts for the Grocery channel using historical shipment and POS data, market trends, and sales input.

<li><b>Process Improvement &amp; Innovation</b>: Proactively identify and implement process improvements. Drive efficiency and embrace innovation by rethinking traditional demand planning methods, asking insightful questions, and exploring new approaches to achieve better outcomes.</li>
<li><b>Leadership &amp; Ownership</b>: Act as a key player in bridging short-term tactical planning with long-term strategic growth. Demonstrate leadership by fostering collaboration, taking ownership of the demand planning function, and being a role model for integrity and results.</li>
</ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>What You Bring to the Table:</b></h2>
<ul><li>Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Economics, or a related field.</li>
<li>5+ years of experience in demand planning, preferably within the food and beverage industry.</li>
<li>Proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, with a focus on innovation and process improvement.</li>

</ul>
<p><b>Things About the Way We Work</b></p>
<ul>
<li>No two days here are the same.</li>
<li>We try to be good team members and good communicators, but we don't live by hierarchy and structure &ndash; everyone is a difference maker here.</li>
<li>We make a lot of decisions in the face of incomplete information &ndash; our team embraces ambiguity and tries to make good decisions fast rather than great decisions slow.</li>
<li>We believe our job is to take smart risk, not to eliminate risk.</li>
<li>We believe in growing our skills and becoming a better company with more managerial expertise, but we are an entrepreneurial company at heart.</li>
<li>We aren't trying to be average &ndash; we want to do exceptional things and we are willing to work hard to achieve them.</li>

<p><b>Location &amp; Pay Transparency</b></p>
<p>
The position will be based out of our 20,000 sq. foot office in Walnut Creek, CA.

Fridays are flex days with employees having the opportunity to choose to be either in the office or to work from home based on what makes most sense for them.</p>
<p>
The expected starting salary range for this role is<b> $150,000- $165,000 per year.</b> We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range based on the location of the role. The amount a particular employee will earn within the salary range will be based on factors such as relevant education, qualifications, performance and business needs.</p></div>
