This is not a traditional turnaround or "fix a mess" hire. Our facility has successfully undergone a multi-year cultural transformation, shifting from a "run-to-failure" mindset to one of preventative maintenance and disciplined operations. We are seeking a visionary leader to act as a "wedge" to ensure we do not slide backward, but rather continue to protect and elevate the high-performing, people-first culture already in place. The ideal candidate will be a "continuation-of-excellence" leader who can sustain the momentum established by a highly respected outgoing director. You will have the autonomy and ownership of a small entity backed by the stability and resources of a large organization. Key Responsibilities Operational Excellence: Oversee all standard plant operations, including KPI management, budgeting, safety protocols, production schedules, maintenance, and financials. People Development: Act as a coach and mentor rather than just a manager; you are responsible for growing the next generation of leaders and maintaining high frontline engagement. Supply Chain Management: Navigate a high-velocity, low-buffer supply chain where the "customer" is internal and demands are immediate. Strategic Interaction: Effectively communicate and interface with senior-level executives (including the CEO and CFO) while remaining accessible and visible to frontline operators. Culture Stewardship: Model a leadership philosophy rooted in proactive growth, accountability, and integrity. Required Leadership DNA We prioritize mindset and leadership philosophy over resume highlights alone. Extreme Ownership: You must take absolute responsibility for all outcomes-good and bad-without making excuses or deflecting blame. Grit and Fortitude: You possess the resilience to stay the course through long-term cultural changes and remain calm under pressure when operational issues arise. Ego-Free Leadership: You are comfortable "speaking with princes and paupers" with equal respect. You have no need to be the smartest person in the room and are happy to give credit to the team while taking the heat for failures. Integrity: You say what you mean, do what you say, and hold others accountable fairly and consistently. Ideal Background & Qualifications Manufacturing Leadership: Proven experience leading a manufacturing site, ideally within a high-pressure, fast-moving consumer goods environment. Cultural Transformation: A track record of leading or sustaining significant culture change, moving a team toward proactive and people-centric operations. Methodological Thinker: Ability to articulate a clear leadership methodology and provide specific examples of how you have developed people and handled resistance. Industry Resilience: Experience in industries with minimal buffer and high just-in-time pressure is highly preferred. What Makes This Role Different Own the Win: You are the "quarterback" of the facility; you Call the plays and own the outcomes. Nimble Environment: While part of a large corporate structure, this role offers the flexibility and speed of a smaller, more entrepreneurial operation. Stable Foundation: You are inheriting a team that is mostly bought into the current vision, allowing you to focus on innovation and "leveling up" rather than firefighting.
