What are the responsibilities and job description for the Packaging Supervisor - 2nd shift position at Oats Overnight?
A Little About Us
Oats Overnight is changing the way people eat breakfast, and since launching in 2016, our high protein spoon-free oatmeal has been enjoyed by over 1,000,000 customers. We are scaling quickly in both direct-to-consumer and retail with the goal of becoming a household brand. We have end-to-end control of all phases of the business, producing and fulfilling the product in-house, which is extremely rare for companies our size. This allows us to create new flavors and products quickly and is a tremendous advantage for our brand – we’re able to give customers a behind-the-scenes look at what we do, highlighting our people and process in content. Being vertically integrated also enables us to incorporate customers directly in the development process.
A Little About How We Do Things
Starting with our founder/CEO and extending to multiple teams across all departments, many of us come from non-traditional backgrounds. This is a superpower – we are not stuck in traditional industry patterns but instead leverage extreme rationality and first principles thinking to solve problems and find new opportunities. This is a special place to work, and our team is what makes it that way; this is why every employee is also an owner. As such, there is a high level of expectation for all team members.
What We’re Looking For
As a Packaging Supervisor at Oats Overnight, you will oversee the daily packaging operations to ensure efficient, high-quality, and cost-effective production. You will lead and coordinate a team of packaging associates, ensuring all packaging meets safety, quality, GMP, and regulatory standards. Your role will be critical in maintaining smooth workflows, optimizing processes, and improving productivity.

We value people who roll up their sleeves and support their fellow team members. We embrace diversity and encourage equal opportunity every chance we get, and we look forward to learning from people whose backgrounds, skills, and perspectives challenge and enrich our own.
