Job Description

Manufacturing Strategy & Operations Lead

We are seeking a highly skilled candidate with deep expertise in manufacturing operations, industrial engineering, and capacity planning. This individual will support the development and execution of global manufacturing strategies - including footprint optimization and capital investment planning - to ensure scalable, cost-effective operations that align with long-term business growth at an expanding F500 company.

The ideal candidate brings hands-on manufacturing leadership experience, a global mindset, cross-functional collaboration skills, and proven experience working across multiple product lines, facilities, and regions.

Responsibilities:

Manufacturing Strategy & Global Footprint Optimization

Evaluate and recommend manufacturing footprint strategies considering factors such as cost, geopolitical risk, technology enablement, supply chain resiliency, and customer proximity.
Identify demand signals, determine capacity constraints, and drive cross-functional collaboration to solve for any capacity gaps.
Support make-vs-buy and vertical integration analyses aligned with product and process needs.

Capacity Planning & CAPEX Management

Conduct in-depth capacity modeling, scenario planning, and throughput analysis for multiple product lines.
Lead capital expenditure planning and justification for manufacturing investments, equipment, and facility expansions.
Identify and implement solutions to optimize plant loading, equipment utilization, and capital deployment.
Partner with regional and plant teams to ensure alignment with growth forecasts and demand variability.

Scalability & Industrial Engineering

Apply industrial engineering principles to drive efficiency, throughput, and continuous improvement across manufacturing sites.
Conduct manufacturing research to evaluate emerging technologies, processes, and production methodologies.
Promote scalable manufacturing processes, modular BoP strategies, and digital factory principles.
Support new product introduction by integrating design for manufacturability principles and capacity readiness into early planning.

Cross-Functional & Global Collaboration

Collaborate with Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, and Finance to ensure cross-functional alignment on strategic manufacturing decisions.
Own stakeholder management to the executive level, presenting to senior leadership on a regular basis.
Support product transfers and ramp-ups across regions, ensuring minimal disruption and operational continuity.

Data-Driven Decision Making

Leverage manufacturing and business intelligence data (e.g., MES, ERP, capacity tools) to drive strategic planning.
Develop and maintain models for manufacturing cost, utilization, and capacity scenario analysis.

A Strong Candidate Will Bring:

Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Engineering/Technology, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, or equivalent experience
7-10 years of experience in manufacturing operations, industrial engineering, or plant leadership
Knowledge of global supply chain dynamics, geopolitical influences, and total landed cost analysis
Strong communication, leadership, and project management skills; able to influence at all levels
Lean Six Sigma or continuous improvement background
Experience managing manufacturing footprint requirements and facility planning
Strong CAPEX planning and justification experience
Strong analytical skills, including financial modeling and use of simulation or capacity planning software (e.g., Simio or equivalent)
Experience with digital manufacturing tools (e.g., MES, digital twins) is a plus.
Prior experience in plant management, production management, or multi-shift operations leadership preferred

TRAVEL REQUIREMENT: 10%
