A Little About Us
Oats Overnight is on a mission to build a generational CPG brand. Since 2016, our high-protein, drinkable oatmeal has reached over a million customers through direct-to-consumer, and we’re now scaling with all major nationwide retail and club partners. Our goal: become a household brand by leveraging speed, storytelling, and strategy.
We are vertically integrated: we develop, manufacture, and fulfill everything in-house. This operational control allows us to engage customers directly into the R&D process, an initiative where we were first-to-market in CPG. It also makes our brand tangible and real: our factory, our team, and our product pipeline are all part of the narrative.

Every teammate here has equity because we’re building something big, and everyone plays an important role. If you’re excited about building a brand that does things differently, this is that opportunity.

As a Maintenance Supervisor at Oats Overnight, your primary responsibility will be to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of our facilities and equipment, especially our HMC automated machinery. You will oversee the maintenance team, perform both preventative and corrective maintenance tasks, and ensure equipment uptime to maximize productivity while maintaining safety and food safety standards.
