Location: Hatfield, PA

Work Arrangement: On-site

Schedule: Primarily 2nd Shift, generally 2:00–3:00 p.m. through midnight–1:00 a.m., with flexibility based on business needs.

Why Join Clemens Food Group?

We're looking for a Director of Operations to provide senior leadership across 2nd Shift at our Hatfield facility. This is a highly visible, hands-on leadership role for someone who can develop leaders, create accountability, and make sound decisions in a complex manufacturing environment.

You'll lead 2nd Shift Operations while coordinating across supporting functions including Sanitation, Trades, Wastewater, Rendering, and other plant resources. With fewer senior resources available on second shift, you'll have meaningful autonomy to prioritize issues, coordinate teams, and keep the business moving.

What You'll Own

  • •Lead and develop the 2nd Shift Operations and Trades leadership team and support alignment with 3rd Shift Sanitation.
  • •Drive execution across safety, food safety, quality, retention, labor/yield, compliance, and operational performance.
  • •Coordinate resources across Operations and supporting plant functions when priorities compete.
  • •Lead through significant operating issues by assessing business impact, establishing priorities, and bringing together the right resources.
  • •Strengthening leadership capability, accountability, succession, and overall team performance.
  • •Champion execution of the Clemens Operating System (COS) and continuous improvement.
  • •Maintain strong alignment and communication across shifts.

What We're Looking For

  • •Leadership experience within manufacturing or another complex operational environment.
  • •Experience leading and developing other leaders.
  • •Demonstrated ability to make decisions and prioritize resources in complex or high-pressure operating situations.
  • •Meaningful operational scale or broad responsibility across multiple functions.
  • •A hands-on leadership approach with the initiative and urgency to stay close to the operation.

Food manufacturing experience is valuable but not required . We're interested in leaders who have successfully navigated complexity, developed teams, and delivered results in demanding operating environments.

Experience involving Maintenance/Trades, Engineering, Facilities, Infrastructure, or other technical plant functions is also valuable.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This role offers significant autonomy, broad operational exposure, and the chance to strengthen a leadership team while directly influencing operational performance.

Clemens continues to grow, build, and expand its operations. For a leader who wants more complexity, broader responsibility, and the chance to develop through meaningful operating experience, this role offers significant exposure and impact.
