About MomsMade

MomsMade is a consumer food brand bringing clean traditional Indian snacks of North India to homes across India. We're a fast-growing, funded startup reimagining how India's beloved homestyle snacks are made and delivered at scale.

Role Description

We're looking for a Production Head to own end-to-end manufacturing operations — from raw material sourcing to finished goods dispatch. You'll be responsible for scaling production while maintaining the authentic taste and quality our customers love.

What You'll Do:

  • Own daily production planning, scheduling, and output targets across SKUs
  • Set up and continuously improve SOPs for processing, packaging, and quality checks
  • Manage and develop the factory floor team — hiring, training, shift planning
  • Drive yield improvement, reduce wastage, and optimize cost per unit
  • Ensure compliance with FSSAI regulations, GMP standards, and internal quality benchmarks
  • Coordinate with procurement for timely raw material availability and vendor quality
  • Work closely with the supply chain/logistics team to ensure on-time dispatch for D2C and quick commerce channels
  • Own inventory management of raw materials, packaging, and finished goods
  • Set up and track production KPIs — output per shift, rejection rates, downtime, cost per kg
  • Lead capacity planning as we scale to new SKUs and higher volumes

What We're Looking For

  • 5–10 years of experience in food manufacturing/production, ideally in snacks, bakery, or traditional Indian foods
  • Hands-on leader comfortable working on the factory floor daily
  • Strong understanding of food safety (FSSAI, HACCP) and quality systems
  • Experience scaling production from small/mid-scale to higher volumes
  • Good command over Hindi; ability to manage a blue-collar workforce effectively
  • Familiarity with costing, BOM management, and basic ERP/inventory tools

Nice to Have

  • Experience with D2C or quick commerce supply timelines
  • Background in traditional Indian sweets/snacks manufacturing
  • Prior experience setting up a new production facility or line from scratch

Why MomsMade

  • Early-stage role with direct impact on the company's growth
  • Opportunity to build and lead the production function ground up
  • Competitive salary + equity
