Production Manager

As Manager, Production, you will lead the day-to-day running of production operations: setting priorities, planning team activities, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring the team can deliver reliably in a fast-changing environment. You will manage a team of 5 people, taking ownership of daily execution while also driving improvements across quality, capacity, efficiency, and cost. This is a hands-on leadership role when needed, but not a technician role: you will balance stepping into operations to support urgent delivery with leading projects that improve how the team works over time. Lead and manage the production operations team, providing clear daily priorities, support, and coverage planning so operations keep moving. Ensure production runs smoothly, safely, and reliably, with strong focus on quality, delivery, and practical decision-making when priorities shift. Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on process efficiency, quality, capacity improvement, and cost reduction. Lead projects autonomously, proactively moving them forward while keeping day-to-day production under control. Partner cross-functionally with Quality, QC, project teams, and customers when production issues arise, such as mix-ups or other operational concerns.

You will be joining an organization with the patient at the heart of every decision and action, driven by purpose as we pursue exponential growth.
