• Serve as a highly visible leader to senior leadership and customers
• Foster a culture that balances accountability, trust, and employee development
• Partner cross-functionally to ensure seamless execution and long-term operational stability

What We're Looking For

• At least 5 years leading a food or consumer packaged goods manufacturing site
• Strong foundation in food safety, quality systems, and employee safety
• Success operating lean, automated environments with limited changeover complexity
• A steady, decisive leader and strong problem solver
• Demonstrated commitment to people development and leadership bench strength
