Kitchen Assistant Manager Job Application
Diemand Farm is looking for a Kitchen Assistant Manager to help lead our commercial kitchen. This is a hands-on position that combines food production, team leadership, organization, and problem-solving.

We're looking for someone who wants to be part of a small business where their contributions make a real difference and where there is room to learn and grow over time. We value people who take ownership of their work, aren't afraid to share ideas for improving how we do things, and are willing to jump in wherever they're needed.
