About the Role

The General Manager is responsible for leading and optimizing all operational functions across the organization. This role drives efficiency, scalability, and profitability by aligning operations with strategic business goals. They will oversee production, supply chain, inventory, quality, compliance, and continuous improvement initiatives. P&L-style accountability for the facility. Data fluency is key, this person runs the facility through the numbers, and owns them, not just reads them. They can defend the operational drivers behind the margin - labor efficiency, yield, scrap/waste, cost per unit - and when a number looks wrong, they catch it and know which lever moved it and why. If the operation needs an ERP stood up, they can lead that implementation themselves. Understanding how ops decisions ripple into sales is a major plus - never give sales something to apologize for - inventory accuracy, ops-caused RMAs, shipping times, etc.
