General Manager – Xico Lighting

Woburn, MA – Full Time

A 3

LED Group Company

Own the Growth. Build the Team. Lead the Transformation.

Xico Lighting is the specification-grade architectural lighting brand within the 3

LED Group. Our products support designers, architects, engineers, and contractors on demanding, high-performance projects. As Xico enters its next phase of growth—with expanded engineering, strengthened manufacturing capabilities, and deeper integration with Fusion Optix and LUXDrive—we are ready to scale.

We’re seeking a high-energy, high-standards General Manager who understands how architectural products are designed, specified, and sold, and who thrives on building organizations, sharpening operations, and driving culture. If you are a builder who enjoys solving hard operational problems and elevating teams, this is a rare opportunity to make a defining impact.

What You Will Lead

Build a High-Performance Team and Culture

• Lead all major Xico functions: operations, engineering, design, customer support, inside sales, supply chain, and production.

• Establish a culture of clarity, accountability, urgency, and high craftsmanship.

• Mentor and sharpen managers; upgrade talent; strengthen cross‑functional alignment.

• Create an environment where people take ownership and follow through.

Drive Operational Excellence

• Own the performance of the Woburn manufacturing facility—output, quality, cost, delivery.

• Implement disciplined work order flows, structured production planning, inventory accuracy, and clean documentation.

• Drive lean practices and continuous improvement with a "build it right the first time" mindset.

• Ensure engineering releases are complete, correct, and production‑ready.

Strengthen Engineering & Quality

• Build robust engineering workflows and documentation that tie seamlessly into production.

• Ensure a true single source of truth across Solid Works PDM, Salesforce, and all internal systems.

• Lead CAPA, root‑cause analysis, and quality engineering to prevent repeat issues.

• Align engineering, quality, and production around predictable, reliable output.

Elevate Customer Experience & Commercial Support

• Oversee quotations, customer support, and project coordination teams to ensure fast, accurate, professional communication.

• Improve responsiveness and project management discipline to build trust with agents, specifiers, and contractors.

• Strengthen planning and documentation to ensure predictable and profitable project execution.

• Support sales with margin discipline, product configuration accuracy, and improved delivery performance.

Leverage Channel Knowledge To Win Architectural Projects

You understand how architectural products get onto projects. Even if not lighting, you know the dynamics of:

• Specification-driven industries.

• Architectural product reps and agent networks.

• How architects, lighting designers, engineers, and contractors influence product selection.

• Long project timelines, submittals, revisions, budgets, and value engineering.

• What it takes to get a product designed in, specified, protected, delivered, and installed successfully.

You Will Use This Knowledge To

• Improve our performance in the channel

• Strengthen relationships with agents and specifiers

• Build workflows that support complex project cycles

• Ensure the factory supports the commercial team with reliability and clarity

• Create competitive advantage through execution excellence

Drive Growth, Innovation & Strategic Alignment

• Translate CEO and group-level strategy into actionable plans the team can execute.

• Leverage synergies with Fusion Optix (optics/light engines) and LUXDrive (drivers & control) to deepen differentiation.

• Build systems and processes that scale with growth.

• Manage P&L performance with discipline across revenue, margins, and operating efficiency.
