The Operations Leader is 100 responsible for product flow to meet and exceed both our internal and external customer’s needs. The ideal leader will know how to bring out the best in our employees while helping navigate difficult times. It is a critical need of this position to own and take pride in being a “People Leader” to best capitalize on untapped potential of team members so that both the team and business can be successful. The Operations Leader is responsible for ensuring that all employees are working safely, according to work instructions, and challenging the team in order to continue to grow individually and as a team. Mentoring and coaching is necessary for this role, as it is important for every team member to understand the “why” and be able to see the bigger picture, strategy, and vision. The Operations Leader role requires strong communication skills as this position will not only provide work direction to the team, but also provide communication across all shifts as well as include status/commits to Customers, Program Managers, Product Center Leaders, and more.
