For over 150 years, our ketchups and sauces have been bringing a taste of home to our fans’ kitchens. But behind every bottle lies not only the highest quality, but also a great deal of passion and dedication—and that’s exactly what we’re looking for in our new team member.
Respect “We all treat each other with respect, always communicate as equals, and everyone has a say. That’s how we develop the best solutions as a team here at WERDER.”
Competence “To me, this means leveraging the expertise and experience of every individual across departments—both professionally and personally—from the initial idea here at WERDER to the finished product on the shelf. Because only together can we achieve our goals!”

You lead your team: You motivate, support, and develop your employees, and you are their reliable first point of contact in day-to-day operations.
Working hand in hand with the other shift: You organize a structured, transparent shift handoff with your counterpart, the other shift supervisor; you closely coordinate priorities and work together to ensure seamless operations.
