Print Production/Plant Manager

Calyx Containers exists to solve some of the largest problems facing the budding cannabis industry: packaging and inventory management.  Rooted in the cannabis industry, our passion is transforming how people transport, brand, and consume the products they love.   We’ve developed a suite of packaging products for flower, concentrates, joints, in addition to a modular tray system designed to standardize the transportation and reconciliation process. We’ve made it easier for industries requiring child-resistant packaging to be compliant in a unique and modern way. 

At Calyx, we hold sustainability as a core value in all decision making processes. This is the foundation for our mission: to design, manufacture, and sell >1 billion non-fossil fuel based products. Working towards a closed loop system for 100% product reprocessing, with many products and patents pending, we’re delivering on our promise to improve the way that businesses are run in the legal cannabis industry, and beyond.

 The Production Manager will work at our Salt Lake City facility (Spaceship) and is crucial in the expansion of Calyx’s core operations and products.   With a data driven approach and clear understanding of how to build out the team, process, and facility this person will be responsible for management and execution of label manufacturing, application, and product development.  They will report directly to the VP of Operations and will serve as an Operational leader in manufacturing.  While there are clear objectives to supporting our current business, there is substantial opportunity to seek out new opportunities, develop scalable processes and systems, and work with cutting edge technologies.  In addition to this, they will champion both quality and sustainability that is on par with the rest of the Calyx product offerings #quality-does-not-cut-corners / #sustainability-is-multi-dimensional.
