Meet Charlie (Charlotte or Charles – fictional Packing Lead)
.
Charlie walks into work like a boss (because they kind of are). They’ve got one eye on the seasoner, one on the scale, and both hands ready to get busy before the shift even starts. Sam doesn’t just pack chips and support the equipment… they pack purpose, positivity, and people-first leadership into every box. Sam is our Packing Lead.
Now… we need another Charlie. Maybe it’s you.
Your Mission (should you choose to accept it):
You’ll be the frontline captain of our packing operations. Think: snacks meet strategy. You’ll keep things moving smoothly, from the time the chips leave the kettle room, through splicing film like a snack ninja, to coaching the packing crew like a champ. Your work touches every chip bag we send out, so no pressure (okay, maybe some pressure).
Dieffenbach’s Team C works Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday from 6:50am to 7:00pm (packing Leads may start a few minutes earlier)

In fact, you run it like a pro.Are cool with getting a little greasy, moving fast, and working in snack-scented wonderland.Think “cross-shift collaboration” sounds fun, not frightening.Being bilingual (English & Spanish)
On a Serious (But Still Fun) Note:

Drives a positive culture, because grumps kill productivity.Loves snacks, but loves people, process, and standard work more.Embraces continuous improvement, even if it means admitting others have a good idea that drives positive change.Is excited for and can meet ethe expectations of the “official
