Director of Operations

We’re seeking a hands‑on Director of Operations to lead a flagship manufacturing facility and drive operational excellence across safety, quality, delivery, cost, and people development.

• Establish and drive KPI management systems to improve performance and accountability.
• Champion Lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Partner with engineering, tooling, quality, and production to improve throughput, quality, and customer delivery.
• Maintain a strong floor presence, coaching leaders and employees while fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
• Build, coach, and develop a high‑performing leadership team.

• 10+ years of manufacturing operations leadership experience.
• Strong experience implementing and managing operational KPIs.
• Background in tooling, metal stamping, precision manufacturing, or similar manufacturing environments.
• Proven success leading Lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives.
• A hands‑on leadership style with a passion for being on the manufacturing floor, developing people, and solving problems where the work happens.
• Experience leading change, improving quality, and driving operational results.
