About Supply Chain at Clemens:
At Clemens Food Group, our Supply Chain team keeps our business and our customers moving. They serve as the critical link between our farms, production facilities, and the families who depend on us. From planning and purchasing to scheduling, warehousing, and transportation, the team ensures that fresh, safe, high-quality pork products reach the right place at the right time.

- Collaborative and Cross-Functional: You will work alongside experts from operations, engineering, FSQA, sales, and more, meeting new people and expanding your network daily.
