What are the responsibilities and job description for the Food Manufacturing Sanitation Operator position at ByHeart?
About ByHeart
ByHeart was built on the belief that infant formula should be held to a higher standard. We spent seven years developing an evidence-based formula from the ground up, running the largest clinical trial by a new infant formula brand in 25 years, and building our own manufacturing facilities.
ByHeart is a nutrition company, specializing in infant formula, committed to the highest manufacturing and safety standards in the industry — now expanding that same standard across a broader range of nutrition products. We own three domestic U.S. facilities and have invested heavily in infrastructure, R&D, and in-house quality systems, able to provide third-party incubation and manufacturing support for leading ingredient and end-product nutrition brands.
We are now actively expanding operations at our Allerton, Iowa facility. Our factory is running and we are focused on scaling our manufacturing to support a broader range of dairy nutrition products. This is a new and growing chapter for the facility and we're hiring the people who will help us build it.
Why This Role Exists
This role is at the heart of what's next for our Allerton, Iowa facility. As we scale our operations, we need people who share our same commitment to quality and safety. This position carries real accountability and works directly in service of the best-in-class domestic manufacturing platform we're building.
