Job description

Description
Vice President, Operations
The Vice President of Operations will provide strategic leadership across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Purchasing, and Plant Quality, with accountability for operational performance, quality, delivery, cost, and organizational capability.
This is a highly engaged operational leadership role. While the Plant Director is responsible for day-to-day plant execution, the VP will maintain close connection to the operation, regularly engage with plant leadership and production teams, and provide direction, support, and accountability to ensure performance aligns with the company's broader objectives.
Karma is a low-volume, high-mix luxury automotive manufacturer operating in a complex and evolving environment. The successful candidate will bring a strong understanding of this type of manufacturing model and the ability to balance hands-on operational leadership with strategic thinking, organizational development, and cross-functional partnership.
The VP of Operations will be a key member of the executive leadership team and will work closely with Engineering, Program Management, Sales, Finance, and other corporate functions to support the company's operational, financial, customer, and growth objectives.
Responsibilities (include, but are not limited to):
Operations & Manufacturing
  • Provide strategic and operational leadership for manufacturing, ensuring safe, efficient, reliable, and cost-effective production.
  • Establish and execute annual and long-term operating strategies aligned with company objectives.
  • Drive improvements in productivity, throughput, labor efficiency, OEE, capacity utilization, scrap, downtime, and overall manufacturing cost.
  • Establish meaningful operating metrics, KPIs, and performance-management processes.
  • Ensure production plans and schedules are achieved while maintaining appropriate standards for quality, cost, and delivery.
  • Lead continuous-improvement efforts using Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kaizen, standard work, root-cause problem solving, and other appropriate methodologies.
  • Assess plant capacity, equipment, workforce, processes, and infrastructure to support current operations and future growth.
  • Maintain regular engagement with plant leadership and production teams, creating visibility into operational performance and opportunities for improvement.
  • Ensure manufacturing operations and facilities comply with applicable safety, environmental, regulatory, and automotive requirements.

Supply Chain
  • Develop and lead an integrated supply chain strategy encompassing material planning, production scheduling, inventory, logistics, warehousing, and supplier delivery.
  • Improve material availability while maintaining appropriate working-capital and inventory levels.
  • Identify and address supply chain risks, including shortages, capacity constraints, tariffs and trade policy, international sourcing, and logistics disruptions.
  • Establish appropriate inventory strategies and supply chain performance measures.
  • Partner with Purchasing, Manufacturing, Engineering, and suppliers to support uninterrupted production.
  • Strengthen planning, forecasting, MRP/ERP utilization, and supply chain visibility.
  • Develop contingency and business continuity plans for critical materials and suppliers.

Purchasing & Supplier Management
  • Provide strategic leadership for Purchasing and develop sourcing strategies aligned with cost, quality, delivery, capacity, and long-term supply objectives.
  • Lead key supplier negotiations and commercial strategies for direct and indirect materials.
  • Develop strong, productive relationships with strategic suppliers, including international and parent-company-affiliated relationships.
  • Identify opportunities for cost reduction, value engineering, and improved commercial performance.
  • Establish supplier performance measures across quality, delivery, cost, responsiveness, and capacity.
  • Partner with Engineering and Quality on supplier development, qualification, and product launches.
  • Proactively identify and manage supplier risks, including financial, capacity, geopolitical, quality, and continuity considerations.
  • Balance cost competitiveness with quality, reliability, flexibility, and long-term supply security.

Plant Quality
  • Provide leadership for plant quality performance and customer quality objectives.
  • Promote a culture of quality, accountability, and continuous improvement throughout the manufacturing organization.
  • Ensure compliance with applicable automotive quality standards and customer-specific requirements.
  • Partner with Quality leadership to strengthen quality systems, processes, audits, and performance measures.
  • Lead effective root-cause analysis and corrective actions for internal and customer quality issues.
  • Reduce scrap, rework, warranty exposure, customer complaints, and process variation.
  • Support effective application of APQP, PPAP, PFMEA, Control Plans, SPC, MSA, and other relevant automotive quality methodologies.
  • Work collaboratively with suppliers and internal teams to address recurring quality issues and strengthen prevention.

Leadership & Organizational Development
  • Lead, develop, and mentor leaders across Operations, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Purchasing, and Quality.
  • Build a strong, collaborative leadership team capable of supporting the company's growth and evolving operational needs.
  • Establish clear organizational structures, responsibilities, objectives, and performance expectations.
  • Develop succession plans and strengthen the operational leadership pipeline.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, transparency, collaboration, problem solving, and continuous improvement.
  • Promote effective communication across the plant, executive leadership, customers, suppliers, and employees.

Executive & Cross-Functional Leadership
  • Serve as a key member of the executive leadership team and contribute to overall business strategy and decision-making.
  • Partner with Finance on operating budgets, cost structure, capital expenditures, and working-capital objectives.
  • Partner with Engineering and Program Management to support successful product launches, engineering changes, and manufacturing readiness.
  • Support customer relationships and participate in discussions involving operational performance, quality, delivery, and capacity.
  • Provide executive leadership with clear reporting on operational performance, risks, opportunities, and priorities, including information appropriate for board and parent-company (Wanxiang) stakeholders.
  • Develop capital investment strategies that support capacity, productivity, quality, automation, and long-term competitiveness.
