Full Job Description

Description:

Lead a High-Impact Plant. Build the Future. Own the Business.

Revere Plastics Systems is seeking a General Manager to lead our Ankeny, Iowa manufacturing facility—a key site with strong fundamentals, a committed team, and significant runway for performance and growth. This is more than a plant leadership role. It is an opportunity to own a business, lead a team through continued transformation, and directly shape results across operations, culture, and commercial performance.

If you’re a passionate, manufacturing leader who thrives in environments where you can make decisions, build teams, and drive change, this role is built for you.

The Opportunity

Full P&L ownership of a ~$10–12M manufacturing operation
Lead a 40-person, 3-shift operation with diverse manufacturing processes
Drive measurable impact across:
- EBITDA and cost performance
- Safety and operational execution
- Customer satisfaction and growth
Step into a role with high visibility and autonomy, partnering directly with executive leadership

You won’t inherit a broken plant—you’ll build on a strong foundation and take it to the next level.

What You’ll Do -

Lead the Business

Own plant performance across financial, operational, and customer metrics
Drive annual operating plans, forecasting, and performance reviews

Make timely, data-driven decisions that balance business needs and customer expectations

Build and Develop a Winning Team

Lead and develop a cross-functional leadership team
Build a strong succession pipeline, including future plant leadership

Create alignment across shifts and functions through visible, engaged leadership

Shape the Culture

Foster a people-first, high-accountability culture built on Revere’s 4Es (Energy, Energize, Edge, Execute)
Eliminate barriers and create a unified, collaborative team environment

Lead with presence on the floor, building trust at all levels

Drive Operational Excellence

Lead continuous improvement initiatives that reduce waste and improve efficiency
Deliver results across key KPIs:
- Safety
- Cost and productivity (DLE)
- Customer performance
- Inventory and CI savings
Ensure disciplined execution of the Revere Business System

Strengthen Customer Relationships

Own customer performance, including delivery, quality, and scorecards
Partner with commercial teams on growth opportunities and new business

Serve as a visible leader with key customers

Why Revere?

Ownership mindset – GMs run their businesses with autonomy and accountability
People-first culture – Safety, engagement, and development matter here
Growth opportunity – Strong path to multi-site leadership

Real impact – Your leadership directly drives results, culture, and customer success

Location

Ankeny, Iowa (Greater Des Moines area)

One of the fastest-growing regions in the state
Strong community, great quality of life, and access to top talent

Who This Role Is Perfect For

A Plant Manager/Operations Manager ready for their first GM role, or
A General Manager looking for true ownership and the ability to build and lead

Requirements:

What We’re Looking For

Experience

7–10+ years in manufacturing, with 3–5+ years in plant or operations leadership
Proven success leading cross-functional teams in a manufacturing environment
Experience with P&L ownership or strong financial accountability
Background in plastics, automotive, or similar industries preferred

Leadership Profile

You are:

A hands-on leader who is visible, accessible, and engaged
A builder of teams and culture, not just an operator
A change agent who thrives in environments with opportunity to improve and grow

Comfortable making decisions and holding teams accountable

Capabilities

Strong operational and financial acumen
Experience driving continuous improvement / Lean initiatives
Ability to influence across all levels—from shop floor to executive leadership

Proven ability to build trust across a diverse workforce

Education

Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, Business, or related field (or equivalent experience)
Lean / Six Sigma experience preferred
