President

Job Description: 

Working with the Board of Directors, the President directs the Company’s continuing activities including: grower relations; and the procurement, storage, production and marketing & sales of its grower’s apples (plus cherries and pears) throughout the world (35 countries).  The key goal that drives the President and the management team is grower returns and grower satisfaction.  Satisfied growers will likely return the following year to contract their fruit with Holtzinger.

Founded in 1908, the CM Holtzinger Fruit Co. LLC is the only remaining independent packer in Washington State.  The Company was acquired by Intracorp Capital, LL C in 2004 and has been a successful and profitable business since that time.  Financially stable and with access to capital for expansion, the Company is well positioned for future growth.

As an independent packer, Holtzinger has unique opportunities and challenges.  Its management team has proven to be nimble and able to meet its challenges.  Having recently bolstered its sales function, the Company has a strong management team and has established excellent internal relationships between management, field operations and production.  A culture of respect and collaboration has been achieved resulting in the ability of Holtzinger to attract high quality personnel including production workers (Holtzinger has a workforce of over 100).

The President leads a complex business managing many external and internal relationships all directed towards the achievement of the Company’s goals.  As President, you will have at least five years of successful executive level experience as a chief executive or general manager or having been in charge of more than one functional area of management.  A background in the processing of agricultural products and/or fruit is helpful, but other related manufacturing experience is acceptable. Your management style is both respectful and collaborative; and you have proven the ability to get teams to work together successfully.  You possess a working knowledge of all aspects of a manufacturing business with particular emphasis on sales and finance.  The most important skills you should possess are positive interpersonal relations, leadership, problem solving & decision making ability, high energy and adaptability.
