- Oversee production and dispensing processes with discipline on batch quality and size across a large product portfolio
- Maintain EPA product and facility registration and GHS labeling compliance across the product line
- Partner with American Operator on strategy, budgeting, and growth planning
Requirements
- 7+ years of relevant industry experience, with at least 3 years of P&L ownership over a department or entire plant
- Experience building high performance teams with accountability for hiring and performance improvement
- Track record of leading successful LEAN process integrations into batch manufacturing businesses
- Experience growing sales through a distribution network as a manufacturing rep
- Currently located in or a willingness to relocate to one of our target markets (Texas, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, or Pennsylvania)
