  • Manage inventory and capacity planning in alignment with forecasted demand.
  • Build and lead a small, high-performing team focused on operational excellence, safety, and continuous improvement.
Qualifications
  • 7-10+ years of progressive experience in operations, manufacturing, or supply chain leadership.
  • Experienced in small or mid-size environments where much of the manufacturing is outsourced.
  • Skilled in process optimization, lean manufacturing principles, and time/motion efficiency.
  • Strong ERP experience; able to translate data and system insights into real-world process improvements.
  • Proven success managing vendors, negotiating contracts, and maintaining quality standards across complex supply chains.
  • Natural leader who can coach teams, create structure, and bring order to a fast-moving, entrepreneurial setting.

This is a unique chance to join a company at a pivotal moment of growth, where your operational expertise will have a visible and lasting impact. You'll work alongside a talented engineering and product development team, helping bring innovative ideas from concept to production at scale.
