The Task At Hand:
At JuneShine Brands, we believe great products are built through great partnerships.
As a Manufacturing Coordinator, you'll serve as the operational representative for your assigned contract manufacturing partners, helping ensure scheduled production of our THC beverage portfolio - spanning 750mL bottles, 12oz cans, 2oz shot bottles, and Snap Packs - occurs safely, efficiently, and according to plan. You'll build strong relationships, solve problems in real time, and work closely with internal teams and manufacturing partners to execute JuneShine Brands' production plans across every format. You'll spend time where the work happens: on production floors, in batching rooms, beside bottling, canning, shot-bottle, and Snap Pack lines, and alongside plant leadership. As you develop a deep understanding of each manufacturing partner's capabilities, constraints, and opportunities across every format JuneShine Brand produces, you'll become a trusted extension of both JuneShine and our manufacturing partners.

Our Company
JuneShine Brands was built by people who believe you shouldn't have to choose between living well and working hard. Our founders met through a shared love of surfing, the outdoors, and chasing experiences worth having. That spirit still runs through everything we do.
We are a company with a purpose beyond profit. Every brand we build exists for a reason. We believe the next generation of consumers will choose brands that reflect their values, and we intend to build exactly those brands.
We hire exceptional people and get out of their way. Flexible hours, no micromanagement, and trust as the default — we take cues from Yvon Chouinard's Let My People Go Surfing, a book we give every new hire on day one. What we ask in return is simple: own your work, deliver with excellence, and never let flexibility come at someone else's expense.
We value people who are hungry and humble, who take ownership without being asked, who move fast without cutting corners, and who make everyone around them better. If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.
