Job Title: Packaging Manager
Department: Operations
Job type: Full-time
Location: Wilmington, NC
TRU Colors is fairly large brewery (67-barrel system) with a tightly integrated social mission to stop street violence and unite people across America. We are not a warm and fuzzy nonprofit, rather a for-profit sustainable company with a strongly integrated social mission, scalable business model, proven team, and incredible partners to help us pull it off.
Working at TRU Colors means you better be good with TRU— Truth, Responsibility, and Unity. It also means you need to be what we call ‘Authentically Adaptive’— always be true to who you are, but respect and adapt to the environment you’re in. We’re doing something that has never been done, so get comfortable with change. We have a brand-new state-of-the-art brewery in a newly renovated 56,000 sqft facility. We also have great investors, partners, and distribution—Molson Coors is an investor, and all the major chains grocers will be selling our beer.
