Senior Manufacturing Operations Advisor - Operations/Production/Plant Manager

SaaS Expert

Augusta, GA

Full-time

Re-posted 14 days ago

Job description

ABOUT US:
Intangible Partners builds practical AI-powered systems that help growing manufacturing companies lift operational efficiency, reduce manual work, and unlock real business value. Our approach starts with understanding real processes, identifying high-impact opportunities, and deploying custom AI agents that deliver measurable results.

We’ve scaled products from zero to massive adoption, raised venture capital, and turned complex technology into tools customers gladly pay for. Our leadership reads like a special operations roster—experience inside the Intelligence Community and In-Q-Tel, a former Accenture Consultant, a former Dan Martell executive, and a founder with multiple startups who’ve lived the “high standards, high output” reality.

APPLICANT QUALIFICATION QUESTIONS:
Do you have 2 years+ experience in manufacturing?
Do you have Manufacturing Leadership Experience? (Operations, Production or Plant)
Are you familiar with the day-to-day operations and struggles of a typical small to mid-sized manufacturer? 

REQUIREMENTS:
2+ Years in a Manufacturing Leadership Role
High Performance Competitive Drive 

THE ROLE:  

As a Senior Manufacturing Operations Advisor, you will work directly with owners, presidents, and general managers inside high-mix, RFQ-driven manufacturing environments.

Your role is to do what you’ve done your entire career — just at a much higher level of impact:
Diagnose where operations are leaking time, money, and trust.
Identify the real causes behind late orders, margin bleed, and chaos.
Serve as a trusted operational peer — not a salesperson, not a software pusher.

You won’t be “selling AI.” You’ll be helping manufacturers finally fix the problems they’ve been managing around for years.

And no — you don’t need to be an AI engineer.

We have world-class technical talent building the systems. Your value is judgment, credibility, and operational truth.

WHO IS THIS FOR: 
This role is for operators who’ve learned manufacturing the hard way — by living it.

You’ll thrive here if you deeply understand:

How production actually breaks under pressure
Why ERP and automation projects so often fail
Where spreadsheets quietly destroy margin and visibility
How change really happens on a shop floor and why forcing it never works

If you’ve spent years:
Running plants
Fixing broken schedules
Protecting margins in messy environments
Holding operations together with duct tape, grit, and experience

This role lets you apply that hard-earned expertise to transform manufacturing at scale — without owning the day-to-day firefighting anymore.

COMPENSATION & GROWTH
This position has no caps on earning.
Your impact, relationships, and results directly shape your upside.
More importantly, this role offers something rare:
Respect for your experience
Exposure to elite technical talent
A seat at the forefront of how AI reshapes manufacturing — the right way
Final Thought
Manufacturing is entering a once-in-a-generation transition.
AI will either be layered on top of broken systems… or guided by people who understand how plants truly operate.
This role exists for the second kind of leader.
