You will be responsible for the successful execution of customer orders from planning through shipment while improving the systems, processes, and workflows that support the business.

• Improve operational workflows and information flow across departments
• Drive better utilization of ERP and business systems
• Improve BOM accuracy, routing accuracy, and production data integrity
• Identify and implement process improvements that reduce cost and increase efficiency
• Support development of scalable operational processes as the business grows

Team Leadership:

• Lead and develop production and operational personnel
• Foster a culture of accountability, teamwork, and continuous improvement
• Build strong working relationships across production, engineering, customer service, and sales
• Promote a positive, hands-on, problem-solving environment

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of manufacturing, operations, production, or supply chain leadership experience
• Experience managing production teams in a manufacturing environment
• Strong understanding of production planning, inventory management, and supply chain operations
• Experience working with ERP/MRP systems
• Demonstrated ability to improve processes, workflows, and operational performance
• Strong organizational and communication skills
• Hands-on leadership style with a willingness to engage directly in operational challenges

Preferred:

• Experience in electronics manufacturing, LED lighting, electromechanical products, or related industries
• Experience with lean manufacturing and continuous improvement methodologies
• Familiarity with manufacturing engineering and product introduction processes

What Success Looks Like:

Within your first year, you will help drive:

• Improved on-time delivery performance
• Better production scheduling and execution
• Increased inventory accuracy and control
• Faster operational decision-making
• Improved ERP discipline and data quality
• Reduced waste and inefficiencies
• Higher productivity and operational consistency

You will work alongside experienced engineers, product developers, and business leaders while helping shape the future of a company known for innovation in LED technology and lighting systems.
