Job Description
Description:

Imagine stepping into a role where your autonomy isn’t just respected, it’s the engine of the company’s growth. You’re the kind of leader who thrives on taking charge, shaping processes, and moving fast without waiting for permission. Here, you’ll build teams your way, set the operational tempo, and drive a multi-site manufacturing operation to new levels of productivity, quality, and profitability. If you’re a decisive, data-driven instigator who loves transforming chaos into clarity, you’ll feel at home. This is your arena: high trust, high impact, and the freedom to run operations with the independence and authority you’ve earned.


As COO, your day will be a dynamic blend of strategy, leadership, and hands-on operational execution. You’ll oversee multi-site manufacturing and operations, ensuring production targets, quality standards, safety protocols, and cost efficiencies are consistently met. You’ll lead and develop high-performing teams, set operational KPIs, and collaborate across the business to align operations with company strategy. Drawing from your background in manufacturing, production planning, P&L management, process improvement, and ERP systems, you’ll analyze performance, optimize workflows, and implement solutions that drive margin and productivity. This role demands a decisive, strategic thinker with proven leadership experience in manufacturing operations, commercial acumen, and a passion for transforming operations into a competitive advantage.
