Job description

Operations here are good; we hired a Plant Manager because good is a starting line, and Stakeholder Management is how we cross the next one. We pair a $97,000 - $158,000 salary with real responsibility, so the Plant Manager you become here grows faster than the title suggests.

Key Responsibilities

• Establish reporting cadences that give stakeholders timely visibility
• Keep the operating model from breaking as Minneapolis headcount doubles
• Keep InnovateTech from optimizing a number that doesn't pay rent
• Keep the temporary partnership honest with numbers both sides accept
• Align go-to-market plans with broader InnovateTech commercial strategy
• Develop and track KPIs that measure progress against InnovateTech objectives
• Find the friction in the Minneapolis customer journey and bill it back to a fix
• Spot the bottleneck nobody mentions in the standup and unclog it

What You'll Bring

• Comfort with the temporary cadence of a Minneapolis-based operation
• Storytelling instincts that turn data into a decision
• Solid Interpersonal Skills grounding, plus Production Planning you can pick up on the fly
• A MN sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
• A knack for AutoCAD that colleagues quietly come to rely on
• Adaptability and resilience when facing shifting requirements
• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly

The whole point of InnovateTech is to make AutoCAD dependable, and that quietly-ambitious mission has anchored it in Minneapolis from day one. Recognition here is specific and frequent, not saved up for some annual Minneapolis, MN ceremony.

You join at $97,000 - $158,000, grow with a mentor, lean on benefits, and flex your hours so Minneapolis fits work instead of the reverse.
