About Us At Kinder's

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.

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.

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.

At Kinder’s, we’re passionate about flavor, quality, and creating exceptional food experiences. As our company grows rapidly, so does the complexity of our logistics and warehousing operations. We are looking for a Director Warehouse & Logistics who will play a key role in helping us scale effectively.

We're seeking someone who not only understands logistics and supply chain best practices but is also driven by continuous improvement, people leadership, and a hands-on approach to problem-solving. In this role, you’ll help shape the future of our operations and contribute directly to the continued success of the Kinder’s brand.
