External Manufacturing Coordinator, THC
The Task At Hand:
At JuneShine Brands, we believe great products are built through great partnerships.
As a Manufacturing Coordinator, you'll serve as the operational representative for your assigned contract manufacturing partners, helping ensure scheduled production of our THC beverage portfolio - spanning 750mL bottles, 12oz cans, 2oz shot bottles, and Snap Packs - occurs safely, efficiently, and according to plan. You'll build strong relationships, solve problems in real time, and work closely with internal teams and manufacturing partners to execute JuneShine Brands' production plans across every format. You'll spend time where the work happens: on production floors, in batching rooms, beside bottling, canning, shot-bottle, and Snap Pack lines, and alongside plant leadership. As you develop a deep understanding of each manufacturing partner's capabilities, constraints, and opportunities across every format JuneShine Brand produces, you'll become a trusted extension of both JuneShine and our manufacturing partners.
If you enjoy solving problems, building relationships, and seeing products come to life, this role offers the opportunity to make a direct impact on every THC product that leaves our manufacturing partners, while growing your expertise in manufacturing operations.
