Job description

ABOUT THE ROLE
United Alloy is hiring a Director, Enterprise Operations Excellence to design, deploy, and sustain the operating systems that drive consistent performance across all facilities. This is not a staff CI role and not a plant-level engineering manager. This role exists to:
  • Move the organization from reactive problem solving to predictable execution
  • Build and scale a Manufacturing Operating System (MOS) that leaders actually use
  • Create discipline around standard work, daily management, and technical capability development
  • Provide hands-on leadership during critical operational disruptions-while building systems that prevent them from recurring
  • You will work directly with plant leadership, engineering, operations, and executive leadership to ensure improvements stick-not just launch.

If you've successfully built operating systems in complex manufacturing environments and know how to balance urgency today with capability for tomorrow, this role is designed for you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Enterprise Operational Excellence Leadership
  • Lead enterprise-wide Business Excellence and Operations Support teams, spanning:
    • Welding & Fabrication
    • Robotics & Automation
    • Laser & Form
    • Paint / Finishing
    • Continuous Improvement
  • Serve as the architect and owner of United Alloy's Manufacturing Operating System (MOS) and tiered daily management structure.
  • Ensure consistent standards across facilities while enabling local ownership and problem solving.

Rapid Response & Root Cause Leadership
  • Oversee structured, rapid-response support for critical production disruptions.
  • Ensure disciplined triage, root cause analysis, corrective action, and follow-through.
  • Transition recurring issues from firefighting to system-level prevention.

Standardization, Capability & Systems Development
  • Develop and deploy:
    • SOPs and Standard Work
    • Leader Standard Work
    • Competency-based training and certification programs
  • Embed Lean and structured problem-solving methodologies (e.g., A3, FMEA, DOE, SPC) into daily operations-not side projects.

Performance Management & Talent Development
  • Define, track, and improve KPIs including:
    • OEE, MTTR, first-pass yield
    • Safety and quality metrics
    • Response time and certification rates
    • Cost and productivity outcomes
  • Recruit, coach, and develop engineering and CI talent.
  • Own budgets related to tooling, spare parts, training, and CI investments.

WHAT YOU BRING
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Operations Management, or related field (Master's degree and/or Lean Six Sigma certification strongly preferred)
  • 10+ years of progressive manufacturing leadership experience, including engineering, technical operations, CI, or operational excellence roles in complex environments
  • Proven experience building and scaling operating systems, not just supporting CI initiatives
  • Deep expertise in:
    • Lean manufacturing
    • Structured problem solving
    • MOS / daily management systems
    • SOP and Standard Work deployment
  • Strong servant leader mindset with the credibility to influence plant leaders and executives
  • Exceptional communication, coaching, and change leadership skills
  • Comfortable balancing hands-on operational support with strategic system design

WHY JOIN US?
  • High-impact, enterprise-level role with visibility across all operations
  • Opportunity to shape how the company operates for years to come
  • Authority to build systems-not just recommend improvements
  • Hands-on influence combined with strategic executive partnership
  • Team-oriented culture that values long-term thinking and sustainable results

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
  • Location: Janesville, WI; Seguin, TX; or Union, OH
  • Travel: Approximately 25% (heavier during the first year)
  • Background check and DMVR required

Equal Opportunity Employer
This employer is required to notify all applicants of their rights pursuant to federal employment laws.
For further information, please review the Know Your Rights notice from the Department of Labor.
