  • Quality, Safety & Compliance - Ensure all facilities meet regulatory, environmental, and safety standards. Execute quality assurance programs to maintain product consistency and reduce defects. Ensure timely closure of root-cause analyses and corrective actions for production or quality issues.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration - Partner with Engineering, R&D, Sales, and Finance to align production capabilities with product roadmaps and customer demand. Support new product introductions by coordinating manufacturing readiness and scaling plans. Facilitate communication between regional plant leaders and corporate leadership.
  • Team Leadership & Development - Lead and mentor plant managers, operations leaders, and cross-functional teams across global sites. Build a culture of accountability, safety, and continuous improvement. Develop workforce planning strategies to support growth, including training, hiring, and leadership development.

What you should be good at
  • Minimum ten years of operations leadership experience, including multi-site manufacturing oversight.
  • Proven success in international companies with matrix organizational structures, serving cross-border customers.
  • Strong track record in stakeholder management and collaboration across all organizational hierarchy levels.
  • Experience in managing production in a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment.

  • Strong background in light manufacturing environments (assembly, fabrication, packaging, or similar).
  • Knowledge of ISO standards or other quality frameworks.
  • Proven success implementing Lean, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement programs.
  • Experience managing global supply chains and vendor networks.
