Premium meat snacks manufacturer with 30,000+ retail locations
Archer is a 46-year-old meat snacks manufacturer (founded 1977, acquired 2011) operating across manufacturing, sales, and logistics with ~100–150 employees. The hiring mix—production, ops, quality, and sales roles at director and mid levels—reflects active operational scaling. Current projects center on safety systems (HACCP, QMS, RCA/CAPA, OSHA compliance) and sales execution (enterprise strategy, decision tools), while pain points cluster around equipment reliability, SKU cost optimization, and alignment between sales and brand.

Archer makes beef jerky, meat sticks, and sausages from grass-fed beef and all-natural turkey. The company is stocked in 30,000+ locations nationwide—grocery stores, airports, and other retail—under more than 30 SKUs. Originally a roadside jerky stand, Archer pivoted toward premium positioning after acquisition in 2011, targeting health-conscious snackers (keto, paleo segments) rather than convenience-driven road-trip buyers. Current operations span manufacturing in Los Angeles, supply-chain logistics, and nationwide sales coverage.
Archer products are available in 30,000+ locations nationwide, including grocery stores and airports, across more than 30 SKUs of jerky, sticks, and sausages.
Core stack includes NetSuite (ERP), Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), Teams, Outlook, Canva, Sprout Social (social media), and EDI for supply-chain integration.
