About the Opportunity

We are seeking an Operations Improvement Manager to lead continuous improvement and Lean initiatives across multiple manufacturing facilities.

This is currently an individual contributor position with no direct reports . The ideal candidate is comfortable working independently, influencing others without formal authority, and building the Continuous Improvement function from the ground up.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the deployment and sustainment of a Lean Management System across multiple manufacturing locations.
  • Develop and execute a multi-year Continuous Improvement strategy aligned with organizational objectives.
  • Identify opportunities to improve plant productivity, quality, delivery, cost, and overall operational efficiency.
  • Lead enterprise-wide Operational Excellence and Lean initiatives.

  • Lean Manufacturing certification.
  • OSHA 30 certification.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, Manufacturing, Business, or a related technical discipline.

Ideal Background

The ideal candidate is a hands-on Continuous Improvement / Lean professional rather than a traditional Plant Manager. You may have managed people previously, but this role is specifically designed for someone who enjoys being the person who finds the problems, develops the solution, and works directly with the organization to implement the change .

The biggest focus will be driving continuous improvement across multiple plants and creating a leaner, more efficient operation. This is an opportunity to build the function and make a meaningful impact on how the organization operates.

Work Schedule
