With operations in the San Francisco Bay Area and Chicago, the company serves as a vital partner for the most innovative companies in the Americas.
Impact In This Role

CNC is the largest business in MISUMI Americas’ custom manufacturing portfolio, and turning is one of its fastest-growing processes. The Portfolio Manager, Lathe / Turning owns the business development and growth strategy for Fictiv’s turning offering — CNC lathe production turning and Swiss-type (sliding-headstock) machining — within the broader CNC line of business. This role is accountable for turning current momentum into a scaled, profitable line of business: finding and winning new turning demand, shaping how we position and sell turned parts, and following production programs through to on-time delivery. Success means profitable growth in turning bookings and margin, a stronger pipeline of turning production programs, and close, flexible collaboration across Sales, Marketing, Solution Engineering, Program Management, and regional teams — this is a highly cross-functional role, not a formal chain-of-command one.

Areas of Responsibility

  • Own the business development strategy and growth plan for the lathe/turning line of business, setting bookings and transaction-margin targets aligned to the CNC organization’s growth goals.
  • Identify and pursue new turning demand — prototype through production — partnering with Sales and Marketing to target the customer segments where turning growth is concentrated (Product Innovation accounts, Machine Builders, and MRO).
  • Use demand, quoting, and win/loss data to find where turning is under-served, mis-positioned, or losing to competitors, and turn those findings into concrete growth actions.
  • Serve as the internal subject-matter reference for turning and Swiss-type machining (DFM, tolerancing, workholding, threading, secondary operations, material machinability).
  • Support production-turning pursuits end to end: scope requirements, validate feasibility, and track production programs against their schedules.
  • Establish and report turning metrics (bookings growth, transaction margin, quote-to-order conversion, autoquote coverage, on-time delivery).
  • Work in a highly collaborative, flexible team structure, without relying on formal reporting lines, to move quickly on opportunities.
  • All employees are expected to maintain and contribute to the QMS.
Desired Traits
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial), Operations Management, or related field — or equivalent hands‑on experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in CNC turning, with meaningful exposure to business development, commercial strategy, or growth ownership.
  • Direct working knowledge of CNC lathe and Swiss-type turning technologies.
  • Familiarity with production program management. Strong commercial/business-development instincts.
  • Comfortable operating in a flexible, matrixed, highly collaborative team structure without needing formal authority.
  • Excellent communication skills to translate technical considerations into business terms.
Physical Demands
  • Standard office/remote work environment; primarily computer-based work (video calls, quoting tools, reporting); no unusual physical requirements.
Travel
  • Ability to travel as needed (estimate ~40% annualy) to support customers, manufacturing partners, and regional operations (team meetings, trade shows, customer visits).

MISUMI Americas, una división de MISUMI Group, es un proveedor líder de soluciones de manufactura estándar, configurables y a la medida. Al integrar un amplio catálogo de componentes con una plataforma de manufactura digital de clase mundial, MISUMI Americas permite a los equipos de ingeniería y de compras acelerar la innovación a lo largo de todo el ciclo de vida del producto. Con operaciones en el Área de la Bahía de San Francisco y en Chicago, la compañía es un socio vital para las empresas más innovadoras de América. Estamos ubicados en Santa Catarina, Nuevo León, México, pero esta sería una posición 100% remota.

Objetivo del puesto:

CNC es el negocio más grande dentro del portafolio de manufactura a la medida de MISUMI Americas, y el torneado es uno de sus procesos de más rápido crecimiento. El Gerente de Portafolio, Torno / Torneado, es responsable del desarrollo de negocios y de la estrategia de crecimiento de la oferta de torneado de Fictiv (torneado de producción en torno CNC y maquinado tipo suizo, de cabezal deslizante) dentro de la línea de negocio más amplia de CNC. Este rol es responsable de convertir el impulso actual del torneado en una línea de negocio escalada y rentable: encontrar y ganar nueva demanda de torneado, definir cómo posicionamos y vendemos las piezas torneadas, y dar seguimiento a los programas de producción hasta su entrega a tiempo. El éxito significa un crecimiento rentable en bookings y margen de torneado, un pipeline más sólido de programas de producción de torneado, y una colaboración cercana y flexible entre Ventas, Marketing, Ingeniería de Soluciones, Gestión de Programas y los equipos regionales; este es un rol altamente multifuncional, no uno de cadena de mando formal.

Áreas de responsabilidad, funciones esenciales:
  • Ser responsable de la estrategia de desarrollo de negocios y del plan de crecimiento de la línea de negocio de torno/torneado, estableciendo metas de bookings y de margen de transacción alineadas con los objetivos de crecimiento de la organización de CNC.
  • Identificar y buscar nueva demanda de torneado, de prototipo a producción, en colaboración con Ventas y Marketing, enfocándose en los segmentos de clientes donde se concentra el crecimiento del torneado (cuentas de Innovación de Producto, Fabricantes de Maquinaria y MRO).
  • Usar datos de demanda, cotización y de ganados/perdidos (win/loss) para encontrar dónde el torneado está desatendido, mal posicionado o perdiendo frente a la competencia, y convertir esos hallazgos en acciones de crecimiento concretas.
  • Fungir como la referencia interna experta en torneado y maquinado tipo suizo (DFM, tolerancias, sujeción de piezas, roscado, operaciones secundarias, maquinabilidad de materiales).
  • Apoyar de principio a fin las oportunidades de torneado de producción: definir el alcance de los requerimientos, validar la factibilidad y dar seguimiento a los programas de producción contra sus calendarios.
  • Establecer y reportar las métricas de torneado (crecimiento de bookings, margen de transacción, conversión de cotización a orden, cobertura de cotización automática, entrega a tiempo).
  • Trabajar en una estructura de equipo muy colaborativa y flexible, sin depender de líneas formales de reporte, para avanzar con rapidez en las oportunidades.
  • Se espera que todos los empleados mantengan y contribuyan al Sistema de Gestión de la Calidad (QMS).
Perfil deseado:
  • Licenciatura en Ingeniería (Mecánica, Manufactura o Industrial), Administración de Operaciones o un campo afín, o experiencia práctica equivalente.
  • 5 o más años de experiencia en torneado CNC, con exposición significativa al desarrollo de negocios, la estrategia comercial o la responsabilidad sobre el crecimiento.
  • Conocimiento práctico directo de las tecnologías de torneado CNC y de tipo suizo. Familiaridad con la gestión de programas de producción.
  • Fuertes instintos comerciales y de desarrollo de negocios. Comodidad para operar en una estructura de equipo flexible, matricial y altamente colaborativa, sin necesidad de autoridad formal.
  • Excelentes habilidades de comunicación para traducir consideraciones técnicas a términos de negocio.
  • Entorno estándar de oficina/trabajo remoto; trabajo principalmente en computadora (videollamadas, herramientas de cotización, reportes); sin requerimientos físicos fuera de lo común.
Demandas físicas:
  • Entorno estándar de oficina/trabajo remoto; trabajo principalmente en computadora (videollamadas, herramientas de cotización, reportes); sin requerimientos físicos fuera de lo común.
Viajes:
  • Disponibilidad para viajar según se requiera (aproximadamente 40% anual) para apoyar a clientes, socios de manufactura y operaciones regionales (juntas de equipo, ferias comerciales, visitas a clientes).

We’re actively seeking teammates who:

  • Bring diverse perspectives and experience to our culture and company.
  • Excel at being part of a strong, empathetic team.
  • Thrive in an environment emphasizing respect, honesty, collaboration, and growth.
  • Have an ‘always learning’ mindset that celebrates learning, not just wins.
  • Help us continue to build a world-class organization that values the contributions of all of our teammates

We encourage applications from members of underrepresented groups, including but not limited to women, members of the LGBTQ community, people of color, people with disabilities, and veterans.
