Job description

We're hiring a Plant Manager in Salem to turn messy operational data into the kind of clarity executives actually act on. The Salem role is less about the $101,000 - $152,000 and more about what 6 years of Pneumatics lets you own at Morgan Stanley.

Key Responsibilities

• Draft the business case that gets a flexible initiative funded past committee
• Drive strategic planning and quarterly goal-setting across Morgan Stanley business units
• Tighten the reporting loop until bad news travels in hours, not weeks
• Knit together the Salem, OR P&L from pieces three teams own separately
• Spot when a manager initiative has quietly lost its sponsor
• Forecast demand and align operational capacity accordingly
• Map where revenue leaks between handoffs across the business funnel

What You'll Bring

• Real Industrial Automation chops, plus the Pneumatics curiosity to keep growing
• A Salem grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
• Equal parts MIG Welding depth and Delegation curiosity

Morgan Stanley brings together design-led people in Salem, OR who care deeply about the craft behind business. We believe the best business decisions get made closest to the work, not three floors up.
