Production Manager

This position is primarily designed as a succession development role intended to build future operational leadership capability within the organization. Initially, the incumbent will not have direct reports and will instead work closely with Production Managers, Value Stream leaders, and cross-functional teams to develop a deep understanding of the business, manufacturing processes, leadership expectations, and operational systems.

The role is structured to provide broad exposure across the facility and may support multiple value streams over time. The incumbent will provide operational leadership coverage during Production Manager absences and participate in a rotational development model that may include assignments across different manufacturing areas. This approach is intended to build the knowledge, experience, and leadership capability necessary for future value stream ownership and advancement opportunities.

In addition to supporting day-to-day operations, the Production Manager will play a significant role in leading continuous improvement activities, kaizen events, problem-solving initiatives, capacity projects, and strategic growth efforts. The position will flex between operational support and leading transformational initiatives designed to improve safety, quality, delivery, productivity, inventory performance, and organizational capability. Success in this role requires adaptability, a strong continuous improvement mindset, leadership potential, and the ability to influence results across teams without direct organizational authority.
