Job Description
Most VP of Operations roles are about maintaining what already exists. This is not one of them.
A private equity-backed manufacturer of engineered solutions is hiring a VP of Operations to elevate performance across the business.
This is an engineered-to-order environment supporting complex, specification-driven products.
What you will own
• Full operational performance across manufacturing, supply chain, and quality
• Safety, quality, delivery, and cost metrics that actually move
• Lean implementation that drives measurable change
• KPI structure, accountability rhythms, and execution discipline
• Building and developing a leadership team that can scale
This is a floor-visible role. Not a conference room role.
What actually matters
• Experience leading operations in engineered-to-order manufacturing
• Background in custom, specification-driven products (not high-volume repeat production)
• Electrical manufacturing experience is highly relevant
• Aerospace or defense experience translates if you have led complex, custom builds
• Proven ability to scale operations in a growth or private equity environment
Reality check
If your background is primarily:
• High-volume production
• Standardized manufacturing
• Limited product variation
This will feel like a different operating model.
Why this role
The business is positioned for growth.
What it needs now is operational leadership that can bring structure, urgency, and consistency to execution.
This is a visible role with direct impact on performance and trajectory.
