Fuel the Mission at Haymarket!
At Haymarket, we celebrate the best that local and global culinary artisans have to offer. From our soil straight to our shelves, we elevate daily mealtimes with freshly harvested produce, artisan pastries & breads, pasture-raised meats, and gourmet prepared foods.
Behind every great meal is a powerful engine—our Haymarket Commissary. We are looking for a Pastry Team Lead to be a core champion of our pastry department. If you are a technically precise baker who thrives on recipe consistency, loves managing multiple projects at once, and can confidently lead a team through a busy production day, we want you in our kitchen!
The Impact You’ll Make
You will play an integral role in the success of the bakeshop, driving three major outcomes:
- High-Quality Products: Ensure every pastry, dessert, and baked good is crafted beautifully and accurately.
- Menu Consistency: Keep daily production uniform in both quality and quantity across the board.
- Customer Satisfaction: Deliver a delightful, top-tier experience to every patron who visits our retail locations.
Core Responsibilities
- Production Scheduling: Lead daily production schedules in close partnership with the Commissary Production Manager.
- Quality Control: Monitor product freshness, ensure proper item rotation, and guarantee consistency across all finished goods.
- Compliance & Safety: Follow and enforce all established procedures, including health, sanitation, safe work practices, and Weights and Measures standards.
- Record Keeping: Maintain accurate, up-to-date inventory logs, temperature logs, and production records.
- Train & Delegate: Use your specialty expertise to teach recipes and production methods to team members, delegating tasks with clear, supportive follow-up.
Who You Are
- Expert Problem Solver: You have a strong technical and analytical focus, using established standards and your culinary expertise to handle challenges.
- Fast-Paced Operator: You enjoy a dynamic environment and can seamlessly manage multiple simultaneous projects.
- Decisive Leader: You make quick, authoritative decisions in the kitchen, communicating with clear, task-based focus so your team knows exactly how to succeed.
Qualifications & Requirements
- Background: Minimum of 5 years of work experience in baking and pastry, including at least 1 year in a management or supervisory role.
- Product Knowledge: Thorough understanding of production, equipment, and ingredients for all bakery items.
- Education & Certifications: High school diploma or equivalent required (Associate’s degree in Baking and Pastry preferred). Active ServSafe certification is required.
- Physical & Tools: Ability to stand and walk for 8–10 hours, lift up to 50 lbs, and safely work with kitchen tools and machinery (including knives and electric pallet jacks).
- Schedule & Environment: Comfortable working a flexible schedule (nights, weekends, and holidays) and navigating varying temperatures, from deep freezers (<32°F) to hot kitchens (>90°F).
