ABOUT THE ROLE
EXALT is ready for its next chapter - and you’ll be the one writing the playbook. With a shiny new production facility in Wood Green that’s six times the size of our current site, we need a Production Shift/Section Manager who can keep pace with our growth and bring the sparkle to our systems.
This isn’t about babysitting blenders or ticking HACCP boxes (though you’ll nail those too) - it’s about building and leading a production powerhouse. Think: processes sharper than our ginger shots, standards higher than our protein count, and a culture as fresh as our juices.
You’ll be working side-by-side with our co-founders, Charlie and Dan, in a role that’s part strategist, part leader, and part magician. From day one, you’ll be driving standards, inspiring your team, and turning organised chaos into efficiency - all while keeping EXALT’s signature mix of innovation, quality, and fun.
ABOUT EXALT
Started in 2019 by our co-founders who couldnt stand another bland protein shake, EXALT went from an idea to filling the shelves at Selfridges, Ocado, Planet Organic and Peloton. Weve even scored partnerships with big names like Nike, Represent, Gymshark & Lululemon. Oh, and lets not forget, were the Official Sports Nutrition Drink Supplier to Tottenham Hotspur & Brighton (in total, we supply 35% of the Premier League teams behind the scenes). Squad goals, honey!
