Double Good creates joy through our product based fundraising platform. Our solution helps organizations raise funds fast. We deliver made-to-order delicious popcorn direct to supporters through an ecommerce platform. We’re 220 employees strong and growing.
Double Good grew over 40% in 2022 and we are on track to do that again this year. To support this continued growth, we are looking for a Production Supervisor to oversee the operations of our second shift at our Burr Ridge facility. At this location we make Double Good’s delicious popcorn using a JIT (Just-In-Time) approach, rarely having more than 2 days of finished good inventory on hand. This allows us to provide the freshest product to our customers and makes adaptability and desire to learn important on our team. This person will be an integral part of the team and oversee all aspects of production ensuring high quality popcorn is produced in accordance with our operations standards.
This role calls for a heavily safety-oriented individual, who can empower an entire team to execute to plan and enjoy the ride while doing it! Aside from running the day-to-day operation, you will be joining us at an exciting time as we look to expand our production footprint this year!
