Job DescriptionJob Description

Come join a dynamic, fast growing team that's making waves in the natural deodorant industry. As part of our manufacturing team, you'll work within a collaborative team to mix, melt, and pour batches of deodorant and other products in various formulas and sizes.

The Manufacturing Lead position is a skilled position leading the daily operations of the SmartyPits manufacturing team.
