Full job description

Company Overview:

ChocXO Chocolatier LLC is a fast-growing, premium North American chocolate manufacturer redefining how modern food manufacturing is built and scaled. Privately owned, well-capitalized, and founder-led, we operate at the intersection of branded CPG, contract manufacturing, innovation, and sustainability — with the freedom to invest long-term and do things the right way.

In the past year alone, we have:

Scaled from one manufacturing site to three
Expanded our brand portfolio, including the mission-driven Endangered Species Chocolate
Invested heavily in new capacity, automation, and enterprise-grade systems
Begun construction on a next-generation manufacturing campus in Rockwall, Texas

Our manufacturing footprint includes:

Delta, British Columbia – 60,000 sq. ft. fully automated, SQF Level 3 flagship
Indianapolis, Indiana – 35,000 sq. ft. facility, home of Endangered Species Chocolate
Rockwall, Texas – 225,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art manufacturing and distribution complex opening in 2026

We are now entering the most important phase of our growth: institutionalizing excellence. This is the shift from growth powered by heroics to growth powered by systems, discipline, and repeatability.

The Role:

We are building a modern North American chocolate platform across three facilities, combining branded products (Chocxo, Endangered Species Chocolate) with large-scale contract manufacturing (Chewters). We are hiring a hands-on leader to drive automation, AI, and operational systems across the business.

This role is focused on improving how our factories and business actually run — both on the plant floor and across administrative functions. The mandate is simple: reduce cost, improve throughput, increase uptime, and deliver real-time operational visibility.

You will lead both factory automation (robotics, vision systems, controls) and the development of AI-driven systems that provide clear, daily insight into performance, risk, and inefficiency.

This is a build role. We move quickly, invest when it makes sense, and expect execution.
We’re not looking for someone to study automation or AI — we’re looking for someone to build it and make it pay.

Key Responsibilities

Factory Automation

Identify and prioritize automation opportunities across packaging, material handling, and end-of-line operations
Deploy robotics, vision systems, and control solutions across multiple plants
Standardize automation approaches, components, and vendors across facilities
Improve line efficiency, reduce labor dependency, and increase overall equipment effectiveness
Partner with plant managers and engineering teams to implement practical, scalable solutions

AI & Operational Systems

Build and deploy systems that provide real-time visibility into production and business performance
Develop tools that answer critical operational questions, including:
Where did we lose time or money yesterday?
What are the top risks today?
Which lines, SKUs, or customers are underperforming?
Where are we drifting on cost, throughput, or cash?
Integrate data across production, finance, and supply chain systems
Establish dashboards, alerts, and reporting that drive daily decision-making

Execution & Leadership

Build and lead a small, high-impact automation and systems team
Work closely with plant leadership, engineering, and finance to align priorities
Own project execution from concept through deployment and performance validation
Ensure investments deliver measurable ROI

What Success Looks Like (First 12–18 Months)

Multiple automation cells deployed across key production areas
Measurable reduction in labor dependency in targeted operations
Improved uptime, throughput, and line performance across facilities
Standardized automation approach implemented across plants
A functioning AI-driven visibility layer providing daily operational clarity
Clear identification and reduction of key cost and performance gaps

Required Experience Profile

10+ years of experience in industrial automation, manufacturing engineering, or a related field
Proven track record deploying robotics, controls, and integrated automation systems in a production environment
Strong understanding of how factories operate day-to-day, including constraints and trade-offs
Hands-on, practical approach with the ability to move from diagnosis to implementation quickly
Experience identifying and executing high-ROI operational improvements
Ability to lead projects across multiple sites and functions

Preferred (Not Required)

Experience with data systems, analytics, or AI in a manufacturing environment

Location

Role is based in Delta, BC, with regular time in Texas (Rockwall) and Indianapolis
Regular presence in the office is expected

Application

If you are interested, please send a resume along with a brief summary of the projects you have personally led and their outcomes.

Pay: $125,000.00-$150,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Dental care
Extended health care
Vision care

Ability to commute/relocate:

Delta, BC V3M 6R9: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (preferred)

Application question(s):

What projects have you led and what their outcomes?

Work Location: In person
