Senior Manager, Customer Excellence

The posting, as Kinder's wrote it

BUILT ON FLAVOR. FUELED BY PEOPLE.

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. Beyond that, there’s also plenty of hard work. Because we don’t just like flavor, we’re obsessed with it.

With over 100 products sold nationwide, we’re now a top-five brand in multiple flavor categories at Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods, and more. 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.

As we expand globally and approach $1 billion in revenue, we need more 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.

About The Role

Kinder's is seeking an experienced Senior Manager, Customer Excellence to manage the processes, systems and performance practices that help Customer Operations scale with the business. This hands-on leader will build and develop a team of two Senior Customer Excellence Analysts.

We are a fast-growing company working hard to bring amazing flavor solutions that are as exciting and delicious as they are simple to use. We are obsessed with quality and are 100% committed to being the most innovative company in any market we serve. Our mission is to bring awesome flavor to consumers whenever and wherever they are looking for it. We have experienced tremendous growth, but we think we are just getting started.

Today, we have over 100 products sold nationwide at retailers including Costco, Walmart, Sam's Club, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Kroger, Safeway and many more. To keep our momentum rolling, we need more passionate flavor advocates and builders to join our team and help us reach every kitchen across the U.S. and maybe even the world.

How you'll have an impact at Kinder's: Based in Walnut Creek and reporting to the Senior Director, Customer Operations, you will manage execution of the Customer Operations excellence roadmap and build a team of two Senior Customer Excellence Analysts. You will connect order-to-cash expertise, EDI onboarding, ERP implementation support, process governance, analytics and cross-functional project management to create scalable and measurable ways of working.

Key Responsibilities

Customer Operations Excellence and Process Governance

• Manage and execute the Customer Operations excellence roadmap in partnership with the Senior Director, prioritizing improvements that strengthen service, accuracy, efficiency and scalability.
• Own the end-to-end order-to-cash process framework across customer setup, order receipt, EDI, order management, inventory and allocation, fulfillment, invoicing, deductions and issue resolution.
• Document current and future-state

[…]

• We try to be good team members and good communicators, but we don’t live by hierarchy and structure – everyone is a difference maker here.
• We make a lot of decisions in the face of incomplete information – our team embraces ambiguity and tries to make good decisions fast rather than great decisions slow.
• We believe our job is to take smart risk, not to eliminate risk.
• We believe in growing our skills and becoming a better company with more managerial expertise, but we are an entrepreneurial company at heart.
• We aren’t trying to be average – we want to do exceptional things, and we are willing to work hard to achieve them.

BENEFITS THAT BRING MORE TO THE TABLE

We offer a range of total rewards that may include paid time off, 401k, bonus / incentive eligibility, equity grants, competitive health benefits, and other family-friendly benefits, including parental leave. Kinder’s benefits vary based on eligibility and can be reviewed in more detail during the interview process.

OUR RECIPE FOR BALANCE

We believe great culture starts with people. We’re a people-first company built on connection, collaboration, and balance. Most of our work happens in the office to spark creativity and community, but we also offer flexibility so team members have the autonomy to work outside the office when needed to support their work-life balance and personal commitments.
