To Be Frank Bakery
Lead our artisan bakery in Collingwood. Craft top-quality bread, manage a team, and drive innovation with purpose.
About the Role
As Head Baker, you’ll take the lead in shaping our daily bread offering — both literally and figuratively. You’ll oversee production, guide and mentor the baking team, manage operations, and ensure every loaf meets our high standards.
This is a hands-on leadership role where consistency, quality, and creativity go hand in hand.
Key responsibilities include:
Leading the day-to-day operations of the bakery team
Managing production quantities, minimising waste and ensuring adequate stock
Training and mentoring junior staff and apprentices
Planning bread menus and driving innovation while maintaining customer favourites
Costing and margin management for all products
Executing and coordinating wholesale orders
Maintaining a clean, safe and compliant work environment
Overseeing inventory, equipment maintenance and team scheduling
Who You Are
You’re an experienced baker with a strong work ethic and a calm, confident leadership style. You’re just as comfortable developing new products as you are fine-tuning a classic sourdough. You take pride in your work, lead by example, and bring positive energy to the team.
You’ll need:
Certificate III in Baking (essential)
Minimum 2 years’ experience in a Senior Baker or similar leadership role
A strong understanding of bakery operations and fermentation techniques
Great communication skills and the ability to manage a team effectively
Experience in managing production schedules, food safety, and cost controls
Additional leadership or management training is a plus
Why Join Us?
