Job Description

Job Description

Day in the Life

In Los Angeles, CA, you begin by scanning real-time dashboards—throughput, on-time delivery, and cost per unit—spotting a trend that needs attention. By mid-morning, you’re huddled with team leads to recalibrate workflows and resource allocations. After lunch, you partner with finance to align budgets with production forecasts, then step into a cross-functional sync to ensure operations are in lockstep with company objectives. You close the day preparing a concise update for senior leadership, highlighting wins, issues, and data-backed next steps.

What You’ll Own
  • Design and drive operational strategies that lift productivity and efficiency across the facility.
  • Lead, coach, and develop a diverse team, nurturing a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement.
  • Track KPIs and fine-tune processes to consistently hit organizational targets.
  • Oversee budgets and allocate resources to optimize cost and capacity.
  • Uphold compliance with applicable industry regulations and internal policies.
  • Partner with peer departments so operations directly support broader business goals.
  • Spot bottlenecks and implement best-practice process improvements.
  • Build and deliver clear, actionable operational reports to senior management.
What You Bring
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Operations Management, or a related field; MBA preferred.
  • 5+ years of operations management experience, ideally within a comparable environment.
  • Demonstrated success leading teams and executing complex, cross-functional projects.
  • Strong analytical mindset with a record of data-driven decision-making.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for stakeholder alignment.
  • Thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic setting with shifting priorities.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and operations management software.
Additional Proficiencies
  • Lean Manufacturing principles.
  • ITAR registration experience.
