About Atome Bakery

Atome Bakery is redefining what great bread means in North America.

We’re a fast-growing Canadian food company delivering frozen, ready-to-bake sourdough bread and pastries directly to customers’ homes, combining artisan quality with modern convenience.

We’re proud to be:

• 🥈 Silver Medal – Product of the Year 2025
• 🏆 Emerging Business Awards finalist
• 🚀 One of Canada’s most exciting and fast-scaling food startups

After successfully building our Western operations, we’re now launching our Eastern Canada fulfillment center, and we’re looking for the right person to own it from day one.

The Role

We’re hiring an Operations Manager – Eastern Canada to lead our first owned warehouse operation in the region.

You’ll start hands-on, picking, packing, organizing, shipping, and progressively build the systems, team, and processes that will support our growth in Eastern Canada.

You will be:

• Our eyes, hands, and brain on the ground on the other side of the country
• In direct contact with the founders and Head of Operations
• A key leader in one of Atome’s most important expansion phases

If you’re rigorous, accountable, entrepreneurial, and excited by ownership, this role is for you.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Warehouse & Fulfillment Operations

• Manage the day-to-day operations of the Eastern Canada warehouse
• Receive pallets of frozen products, manage inventory, and ensure stock accuracy
• Oversee pick & pack for all Eastern Canada customer orders
• Ensure orders are shipped on time, correctly, and efficiently
• Maintain a clean, organized, and food-safe warehouse environment
  

Inventory & Process Excellence

• Use and improve inventory management systems
• Track shrinkage, discrepancies, and operational KPIs
• Continuously improve workflows, layout, and efficiency
• Flag issues early and propose solutions, we expect initiative, not waiting.
  

Team Leadership

• Recruit, onboard, and manage part-time pick & pack staff
• Create clear SOPs and training processes
• Schedule shifts and ensure operational coverage
• Lead with high standards while keeping a positive, respectful culture
  

Ownership & Communication

• Be fully accountable for Eastern Canada fulfillment performance
• Communicate clearly and proactively with founders and Head of Ops
• Act as a trusted extension of the leadership team
• Take pride in “running your operation like it’s your own business”
  

Who We’re Looking For

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Thrives in ownership and responsibility
• Is both hands-on and strategic
• Enjoys building something from scratch
• Has strong personal integrity, we need full trust
  

You Might Be a Great Fit If You:

• Have experience in warehouse operations, fulfillment, logistics, or food operations
• Are extremely organized, reliable, and detail-oriented
• Are comfortable being hands-on before growing into a leadership role
• Have an entrepreneurial mindset and love improving systems
• Communicate clearly, honestly, and proactively
• Can manage people with firmness, fairness, and empathy
  

Experience in frozen food, e-commerce fulfillment, or startups is a strong plus, but mindset and ownership matter more than a perfect résumé.

Why This Role Is Special

• 🚀 You’ll lead Atome’s Eastern Canada expansion
• 🏗 You’ll build a warehouse operation from the ground up
• 🤝 You’ll work directly with founders and senior leadership
• 📈 You’ll grow as Atome grows
