Interface with customers, suppliers, and strategic partners to support commercialization, operational initiatives, and customer satisfaction.

What We Are Looking For

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Operations Management, Manufacturing, Business, or a related field. MBA or advanced degree preferred.
15+ years of progressive manufacturing leadership experience within food manufacturing.
Senior-level leadership experience overseeing Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Continuous Improvement, and capital projects.
Experience leading large-scale manufacturing operations in a shelf-stable, retort, hot-fill, pouch, tray, or other FDA-regulated food production environment.
Strong understanding of food safety systems and regulatory requirements, including HACCP, FSMA, GMPs, SQF or BRC, OSHA, and related standards.
Demonstrated success improving manufacturing efficiency, cost structure, throughput, equipment reliability, service levels, and plant performance.
Experience with Lean Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement, TPM, Six Sigma, and KPI-driven performance management.
Strong financial acumen, including operating budgets, capital expenditures, cost optimization, and ROI analysis.
Experience leading automation projects, engineering initiatives, equipment upgrades, and facility improvements.
Proven ability to lead diverse hourly workforces and build high-performing leadership teams.
A visible, servant-leadership style with the ability to set high standards, coach leaders, and create accountability with respect.
Comfortable working in a hands-on manufacturing environment and spending meaningful time on the production floor.

Executive-level role with direct visibility to the President and senior leadership team.
Lead operations at a large-scale, approximately 1,000-employee manufacturing facility.
