Operations Manager

We’re not looking for someone to hold down the fort. We’re looking for someone to help build it.

Pure Processing is doing what most companies wish they could: doubling every 3–5 years. The person who steps into this Operations Manager role will have a real hand in what comes next. If you’ve been waiting for a shot at a VP path without trading away work that actually matters, this is it. Mission and momentum, together.

What you won’t find here:

• A bureaucratic environment where change takes forever; we encourage rapid & decisive change.
• A ceiling; the only limit to your growth, is your willingness to invest in yourself, others, and the business.
• Lack of accountability: from leadership to the floor, we all speak the same language

The 5 things never to be forgotten in this role:

1. Lead, manage, and hold others accountable: Standards are set, tracked and enforced. People know what’s expected of them. You lead by example.
2. Stand-ups & operational dashboards: the tone of the floor starts with you. High performance, mutual respect and accountability are the daily standard.
3. Eliminate waste relentlessly: From capital production, pick/pack/ship and operational KLIs, you’re always improving & optimizing performance.
4. Build for scale: Always be growing. Good enough is never the finish line.
5. Workforce and capacity plan: Every decision you make should support x2 the capacity. Lead with double-digit growth in mind, always.

What you’ll do in this role:

• Lead, manage, and hold accountable a mixed team of skilled and support staff — setting clear expectations and following through consistently
• Own and drive key operational metrics: throughput, on-time delivery, quality rates, labor efficiency, and scrap/rework
• Identify and eliminate waste — using lean thinking and continuous improvement principles scaled to a small company environment
• Build and maintain a culture of accountability, respect, and high performance on the shop floor
• Partner with ownership to design scalable processes as we grow from our current size to 2–3x our operations
• Develop your direct reports — identifying future leaders and building bench strength below you
• Drive daily huddles, weekly performance reviews, and monthly improvement initiatives

Key Metrics:

• On-time delivery ≥ 98%
• Zero uninvestigated safety incidents
• Inventory accuracy ≥ 98%
• Defect / rework rate trending down
• New hires productive within 30 days

What we’re looking for:

• 2–6 years in an operations supervisor or manager role within manufacturing, fabrication, or a related industrial environment
• Proven track record of leading hourly and skilled trade workers — you know how to earn respect on the floor
• Metrics-driven mindset — you track numbers, own them, and act when they signal need to step in
• A history of addressing performance and culture issues head-on, not avoiding them
• Genuine ambition to grow into a senior leadership role over the next several years
• Exposure to lean manufacturing, 5S, kaizen or similar continuous improvement frameworks a plus
• Comfort working with and building scorecards, metrics, dashboards and reporting
• Experience at a company that grew quickly & significantly. Help us keep doing the same!

Departments reporting to you:

• Capital production & flow product teams
• Pick/pack/ship & warehouse teams

What You’ll Gain:

We believe high performers should be rewarded clearly and fairly. We offer:

• 401(k) with company match
• Health insurance
• 100% company-paid short- and long-term disability
• Up to $50,000 in company-paid life and AD&D coverage
• Generous PTO and paid holidays, including Summer Hour Fridays
• Air conditioned/climate controlled warehouses & production facilities
• A high-growth company that promotes from within
• A respected brand that customers trust and welcome

This is a place where effort is recognized, growth is supported, and performance is rewarded.
