Nation's third-largest poultry producer with 26,000+ employees across 23 processing facilities
Wayne-Sanderson Farms operates a multi-state poultry production and processing operation serving retail, foodservice, and institutional channels. The tech stack reflects a mid-modernization state: enterprise systems (Workday, SAP, Oracle, Snowflake, Databricks) sit alongside legacy tools (Lotus Notes, Excel), while active projects signal operational scaling—ERP implementation, centralized data warehouse, and yield improvement initiatives. Manufacturing dominates hiring (40% of open roles), and the pain-point cluster (downtime reduction, waste, safety compliance) maps directly to their project roadmap.
Notable leadership hires: Compensation Director, Data Analytics Director
