This Missouri based furniture manufacturing company is going through growth and needs a hands-on leader to optimize their manufacturing processes and up-level their team's ability, in order to improve inefficiencies and missed targets. Reporting to the President, this new VP of Ops will evaluate their current processes, then create and execute a strategy to transform the organization and lead the team to greatness. Using strong operational principles and processes (in Ops, Quality, & Production), they will be a hands-on mentor to the team while implementing their plan. The best practices will encourage a proactive approach and utilize data-driven insights to improve schedule attainment as well as strategic planning for future needs, based on growth

- Instill a mindset of proactivity and independent thinking, building employee morale through communication, recognition, and growing careers
- Short Term: Observing and learning - learning the business inside and out, observing the team and processes, and identifying gaps/easy wins
- Near Term: Creating/executing a plan that improves and updates processes, including optimizing for on-time delivery, quality, capacity planning and enabling the team to make data-driven decisions moving forward
- Long Term: Continually gathering data around what’s working and what’s not working to continually improve, thinking through potential automations down the line.
- Provide clear direction and goals to teams for driving operational efficiency and accountability
- Driving cultural and operational change, including leading and mentoring, and living out the core values of the organization
- Working with other leaders to communicate data-driven updates and strategies
What You’ll Need:
- Wood product manufacturing experience (ideally in both small and large environments) - must have experience operating in a smaller team environment
- Experience optimizing operational processes to improve quality, on-time delivery, and capacity planning - Lean Six Sigma experience preferred (not required)
- Strong experience implementing KPIs and leveraging data to inform decision making
- People leadership (with a high EQ and strong drive)
- Leading through change: the ability to drive change and the ability to hold strong and push through when things aren’t easy
- Contagiously calm - able to keep their teams grounded
- Ability to communicate with a diverse set of stakeholders (from the floor to the board) and lead through a data-driven approach
- Be onsite daily - relocation assistance will be provided, if needed
- Production floor experience (at some point earlier in career)
What You’ll Get:
- Competitive cash compensation + very strong performance bonus
- Excellent benefits
- Be fully empowered to own Operations
- High visibility role + massive opportunity for growth
