Job Description

Hey there! Are you someone who loves making things run smoother, faster, and more efficiently? Do you get a thrill out of eliminating waste, improving processes, and helping teams work smarter—not harder? If so, we need you as our Lean Manufacturing Leader!

What You’ll Be Doing:

Think of yourself as the driving force behind making our manufacturing operations top-notch. You’ll be leading continuous improvement efforts, running Kaizen events, and helping teams spot and eliminate inefficiencies. You’ll be the go-to person for all things Lean—whether it’s 5S, Six Sigma, value stream mapping, or Just-In-Time (JIT).

Here’s what your days might look like:

Leading Lean transformation projects that boost productivity and cut costs.
Training and mentoring teams so they can apply Lean principles in their daily work.
Working with production, engineering, and quality teams to standardize processes and make sure we’re always improving.
Diving into data and KPIs to find areas where we can do better.
Partnering with leadership to create a culture where continuous improvement is the norm—not the exception.

What We’re Looking For:

You’ve got at least 5 years of experience in Lean Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement, or something similar.
A Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Business, or a related field (bonus points if you have a Master’s!).
A Lean Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt—or you’re on your way to getting one.
Experience leading Kaizen events and cross-functional projects.
You’re great at spotting inefficiencies and know how to use Lean tools to fix them.
You know how to motivate teams and influence change across all levels of an organization.
You love digging into data and process improvement tools to make smart decisions.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

You’ll have the chance to make a real impact on how we operate.
We believe in a collaborative, forward-thinking culture—your ideas will be heard.
Competitive pay, great benefits, and room to grow!
