About The Position

Dandy is transforming the massive and antiquated dental industry, an industry worth over $400B. Backed by some of the world’s leading venture capital firms, Dandy is on an ambitious mission to simplify and modernize every function of the dental practice through technology. As they expand globally, Dandy is building the operating system for dental offices around the world, empowering clinicians and their teams with technology, innovation, and world-class support to achieve more for their practices, their people, and their patients. Dandy is looking for a Production Flow Supervisor to join their brand-new Indianapolis facility as a critical "founding member" of the leadership team. This role is envisioned as the "Air Traffic Controller" for their Advanced Automated Manufacturing Center. While Department Managers and Shift Supervisors focus on their specific teams, this role will own the birds-eye view of the entire facility. The supervisor will be responsible for developing the systems that monitor backlog, WIP, and capacity across the facility's "4 corners" and ensuring that all 4 shifts operate with unified consistency. The mission is to provide real-time data and operational rigor that enables leadership to pivot instantly, ensuring every order is fabricated and shipped on time. This role requires up to 30% travel during the first 1–2 months for training at Dandy's hubs in Provo, UT or Dallas, TX.

You thrive in the "building phase" and are comfortable creating structure where none currently exists.
High level of comfort with GSuite (Google Docs, Sheets, etc.) and Slack to communicate facility status.
