Director of Operations – Injection Molding
Are you a seasoned Injection Molding professional ready to take full ownership of a manufacturing operation and shape it into a world-class facility? This is your chance to lead with vision, backed by a highly supportive ownership team committed to investing in your ideas—from capital equipment to process innovation.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Total Operational Control: You’ll have the authority to define and execute strategic and operational goals across the entire manufacturing footprint.
- Backed by Ownership: Capital investments and process improvements are not just encouraged—they’re expected. You’ll have the resources and support to make meaningful changes.
- Shape the Culture: Drive a positive, team-based, continuous improvement culture from the ground up.
- High Impact: Full P&L responsibility and the opportunity to directly influence growth, profitability, and long-term success.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead all aspects of manufacturing operations, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
- Set and communicate clear strategic goals aligned with corporate growth objectives.
- Develop and manage budgets, timelines, and financial plans to meet profitability targets.
- Establish and monitor key performance metrics, ensuring teams are aligned and accountable.
- Champion operational excellence through structured continuous improvement initiatives.
- Collaborate with ownership on capital investment strategies to enhance capabilities and efficiency.
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree required; MBA preferred.
- Minimum 10 years of leadership experience in high-volume manufacturing, ideally as a Plant Manager or Director of Operations.
- Proven success in implementing formal continuous improvement systems.
- Strong financial acumen, including budgeting, P&L management, and strategic planning.
- Demonstrated ability to build and lead high-performing teams.
- High energy, proactive leadership style with a passion for driving positive change.
- Plastics industry experience strongly preferred—especially in Injection Molding, Thermoforming, or Blow Molding.
