Do you love healthier snacks and all things Supply Chain? Jumping in, solving problems, and growing a brand from the ground up? At Kindling Snacks, our mission is to build the next generation of snacks and we want very special people to help us make that dream a reality!

Kindling Snacks

At Kindling Snacks, our mission is to build the next generation of snacks. In a world where "nutrient-dense" foods are thought to be tough to swallow, we saw an opportunity to create better-for-you snacks that, dare we say, taste just as good as the original. Surprised it hasn't been done before? We were too. Want to make history? This is your chance to OWN a defining role for a first-of-its-kind brand set to hit shelves in Q4 2024.

The people around the campfire are as essential as the skills they bring. We want to create a culture that builds trust, community, and connection to each other. We're building an in-person team! Let's face it, seeing people's faces in real life builds a kind of camaraderie that's often lost through our screens. In our opinion virtual should never completely replace in-person. Make no mistake, we understand that inflexible office policies take away from the things that fuel our flame. That's why we're a hybrid operation, working three days in the office and two days remotely. We are working to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience full of growth, learning, lifelong connections, and memorable moments.

Work Environment:

We're building an in-person team! Let's face it: seeing people's faces in real life builds a kind of camaraderie that's often lost through our screens. Riding your stationary bike isn’t the same experience as riding through the Smokey Mountains hearing the birds, seeing the amazing waterfalls, smelling the fresh air... you get the point. In our opinion virtual should never completely replace in-person.

Make no mistake, we understand that inflexible office policies take away from the things that fuel our flame. That's why we're a hybrid operation, working three days in the office and two days remotely.
