Pies ’n’ Thighs, a beloved Southern comfort institution founded in Williamsburg, is opening a brand-new store in Park Slope, and we’re hiring a strong, hands-on Bakery Production Manager to build and lead the pastry team from day one.
This role is focused on consistent execution, team leadership, and establishing systems — with LIMITED creativity initially as the new store ramps up.
If you’re a confident leader who knows how to motivate teams, coach people up, and keep production running smoothly, this is a great fit.
What You’ll Do:
• Lead daily pastry production for our new Brooklyn store
• Produce donuts, pies, and pastries using established recipes
• Build, train, and supervise a small pastry team

• Manage inventory, ordering, sanitation, and DOH standards
• Set up systems, routines, and structure for a brand-new operation
• Support occasional seasonal updates or small creative contributions (limited)
Who Thrives in This Role:
• 3+ years of pastry/bakery production experience (scratch preferred)
• 2+ years of supervisory or team leadership experience (Shift Lead, Bakery Supervisor, Head Baker, Production Manager, etc.)
• A leader who can motivate, grow, and manage people — not just bake
• Someone who enjoys building systems teams can follow
• Reliable, organized, calm under pressure
• Early morning availability: weekends as needed
• NYC Food Handler Certificate (or willing to obtain)
Compensation & Benefits Include:
• $70,000–$80,000 salary (Depending on Experience)
• Health insurance available beginning 1/1
• Two weeks PTO
• Equity potential as we expand
• Shift meals + supportive culture
• Opportunity to build something from the ground up in a new store
