Head Baker

Full-time

Downstate Donuts

STOP PUNCHING A CLOCK. START SHAPING AN INDUSTRY LEADER.

"When future interviews ask what your best job was, this should be your answer."

No ego-driven chefs. No corporate ceiling. Just a kitchen where your craft is respected, your voice is heard, and you have the autonomy to build something exceptional alongside a team of adults who genuinely care about what they do.

We’re looking for an experienced Head Baker & Kitchen Manager who leads with high standards, strong ethics, and deep mutual respect.

  • Real Ownership & Autonomy: Run your kitchen with trust and freedom. No micromanagement—just clear goals and the space to achieve them.

  • A Culture of Care: We trade politics for fierce collaboration. We look out for one another, protect each other's time, and tackle the morning rush as a united front.

  • Lasting Impact: This isn't a temporary pit stop. Plant your roots, grow your career, and help us scale something we can all be proud of.

YOUR ROLE: Take the reins, support your team, lead by example, and take massive pride in every single thing that leaves this kitchen.

READY FOR A PLACE THAT TREATS YOU LIKE A PROFESSIONAL?
