About The Position

Nice To Haves

Certification (green/black belt) is helpful, but experience embedding lean tools on the floor matters more.

Responsibilities

Own strategy execution for Operations—manufacturing, supply chain, production engineering, safety, and quality—with a focus on value stream mapping, balancing the line, visual factory management, throughput, cycle/flow time reduction, standard work instructions, kitting, dunnage reduction, etc.
Implement the core systems MXS needs to scale production: lean tools, visual management, daily metrics, safety compliance, and floor discipline.
Be the internal champion for lean. Apply lean thinking in a practical, grounded way.
Facilitate lean workshops that allow the teams to be part of the solution development; ask probing, meaningful questions that guide teams toward continuous improvement; follow up and follow through on actions and concerns to build trust and drive accountability starting with yourself.
Be a visible, floor-present leader. Motivate people, model accountability, and develop a plant culture where performance and respect go hand in hand. Mentor team members and build up the next generation—several retirements are on the horizon.
Prepare the operation to scale—doubling output and expanding the workforce. Support long-term expansion planning.
Work closely with the Operations Leadership Team on day-to-day execution and long-term planning. Bring sound judgment, presence, and financial awareness—this role could be a stepping stone.
