Head of Production Systems

About Vessel

Vessel is building the future of housing. We combine breakthrough design, advanced manufacturing, and first-principles thinking to tackle one of the world’s most pressing challenges: creating sustainable, attainable housing for all. This isn’t just construction—it’s a complete reimagining of how people live.

Backed by Mosaic Ventures and Lennar, the nation’s largest home builder, Vessel is rapidly scaling to meet growing demand. We care deeply about every detail—from beauty and durability to efficiency and accessibility—because we believe everyone deserves a thoughtfully made home.

Vessel is growing rapidly, and we are looking for a Head of Production Systems to design and build our end-to-end production operating system. This is a true builder role. You will not inherit a mature system, you will create one from the ground up. You will define how materials move, how work is planned and executed, and how the system scales across multiple locations.

This role requires high ownership, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to drive change across the organization.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience). MBA strongly preferred.
• 7–12+ years of experience in operations, logistics, manufacturing or production systems environments
• Have worked in high-growth startups with physical operations
  and have stood up or scaled real-world systems (not just managed them)
• Proven ownership of operational outcomes (throughput, cost, delivery reliability)
• Strong systems thinker with end-to-end workflow orientation
• High agency and execution mindset; moves quickly from concept to implementation
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building in incomplete environments
• Experience with planning systems (MRP/ERP or similar)
• Familiarity with operational metrics, performance tracking, and data-driven decision making
• Experience in high-growth or early-stage environments where systems had to be built, not maintained

• Opportunity to shape and scale a modern multifamily development company
• Competitive compensation with performance bonus and equity options
• 401k & Health Plans (Medical, Dental, and Vision), including HSA/FSA options
• Life, AD&D, and Disability Insurance, plus Critical Illness and Accident Insurance
• Weekly lunches and team building events
• Adoption Assistance, Caregiver Support, and Financial Assistance through Employee Support Programs
• Commuter Benefits

We believe everyone deserves a home built with care—beautiful, durable, and made to last. That starts with the people who make it happen. Join us and help reimagine what housing can be.
