About us

Lucky Stars Bakehouse is a dedicated gluten-free artisan bakery located in Concord, Massachusetts. We have developed our own proprietary GF flour blends and a full line of yeasted breads, cookies, bars and other yummy baked goods. This is a fast-paced, fun-filled start-up — and this summer we proved that demand for our product is real. We hope to grow fast, both in wholesale distribution and with nationwide shipping direct to consumers, and the person who takes this job gets to help shape how and what we bake for years to come.

The role

We’re looking for an exceptionally skilled baker who cares about getting it right — the same cookie, the same crumb, the same crackle on the crust, every single day. Attention to detail is key. You’ll run daily production, and as we grow, you’ll help build and lead the team that runs it with you.

Gluten-free baking is its own craft. Our doughs behave differently, our hydration is different, our timing is different. We have a very special product line up that we are excited to bring to market!

What you’ll do

• Bake our full line — breads, cookies, bars — to established recipes and production standards
• Manage and oversee daily bakery production, ensuring proper quantities, quality and consistency across all products
• Maintain an organized, efficient daily production schedule
• Maintain accurate production levels and adjust quantities based on sales
• Monitor inventory, ordering and product waste
• Manage product packaging and delivery (wholesale and direct to consumer) process
• Maintain a clean, organized and food-safe bakery and production workspace
• Follow all food-safety, sanitation and workplace procedures
• Train and develop other bakers as the team grows

What we’re looking for

• Professional baking experience
• ServSafe Food Handler certification, or willingness to get certified within 30 days (we’ll cover it)
• Strong bread production background; gluten-free experience is a plus, not a requirement
• Culinary school a plus
• Consistency: the ability to execute a recipe the same way every time
• Organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable with early mornings
• Able to work independently and to pitch in like a teammate — small company, everybody sweeps
• Able to lift 50 pounds and stay on your feet for a full shift

Why this one is different

This is a ground-floor job at a business that’s still being built. You’ll have a real voice in how the bakery runs — the product line, production schedule, the workflow, the standards. We’re not looking for someone to fill a slot on a line. We’re looking for someone who wants to help build a bakery worth the name.

We’re proud of what we make and who we make it for. If that sounds like your kind of kitchen, we’d love to hear from you.
