Global protein producer operating large-scale manufacturing and processing facilities
Tyson Foods operates a distributed manufacturing footprint across 11 countries with 871 open roles, 420 posted in the last 30 days—heavily weighted toward production and operations staff (455 and 176 roles respectively). The tech stack is dominated by enterprise resource planning (SAP, Workday) and workforce management (UKG Pro, UKG Dimensions), with active adoption of Power BI signaling an analytics modernization push. Projects center on preventative maintenance, HACCP compliance, and production-line expansion, while pain points cluster around downtime reduction and regulatory adherence—a pattern typical of asset-intensive manufacturing with thin margins.
Notable leadership hires: Director of Operations, Plant Lead, Line Lead, Production Lead, Maintenance Lead

Operations rely on SAP Plant Maintenance, CMMS, and PLC systems for production control. Analytics is shifting toward Power BI. Legacy tooling includes BIRT reporting and Microsoft Office.
