Project Manager - Manufacturing Consultant
About the role
At Factory Advisors, we partner with industrial and manufacturing organizations to transform operations, unlock sustainable growth, and achieve measurable business outcomes. We don't just consult—we embed with our clients, lead change, and deliver lasting results.
As part of the integrated Factory Transformation organization, combining Factory Advisors and GrayMatter, we help manufacturers connect operational excellence, digital technologies, and workforce enablement into one transformation strategy.
Our differentiated approach combines:
- Operational Transformation to optimize people, processes, and performance
- Digital Transformation to create visibility through systems, data, automation, and analytics
- Approachable AI to deliver actionable intelligence directly to frontline teams
Together, these capabilities help manufacturers close the gap between strategy and execution.
Our team members work on-site with our clients, and unlike big box firms that like to coach from the sidelines, we "get on the field" with our clients to help them increase their competitive edge. We seek like-minded individuals to work with our clients across North America.
Factory Advisors is not your average boardroom consultant; we help manufacturing and operational organizations unlock higher performance, boosting revenue, reducing costs, and driving compliance through people-first strategies. We believe in rolling up our sleeves and working on the factory floor with leaders who care about measurable outcomes and want solutions that show up in daily execution. Our clients are decision-makers at the top of their industry segments within manufacturing, and they trust us to deliver lasting impact.
