Champion Pet Foods

Champion Pet Foods — makers of ORIJEN and ACANA, two of the most respected premium pet food brands in the world — operates its U.S. kitchen in Auburn, KY, with a recently opened warehouse in nearby Franklin. Acquired by Mars Petcare, Champion's growth is backed by one of the largest pet nutrition companies on earth and they're still hiring and forecasting more. The culture here can be summarized as "everyone, regardless of role or title, has a voice."

What they're hiring for: A strong mix of hourly production roles — dry receiving, fresh receiving, cooking and cooling, packaging, and warehouse — as well as a Health & Safety lead.

Good to know: Champion's hiring process for out-of-state candidates typically includes a pre-screen, a 1:1 with a hiring manager or recruiter, and ideally an in-person facility visit before an offer is made. If an in-person visit isn't feasible, they can accommodate virtually.
