Job description

We're hiring a Production Manager in Pittsburgh to turn messy operational data into the kind of clarity executives actually act on. Bring candidly-kind G-code and 8 years to Pittsburgh, and the return is $85,000 - $143,000, a contract schedule, and influence that grows.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver weekly performance summaries that keep leadership informed
• Read a Creativity dashboard and know which line is lying to you
• Keep the contract partnership honest with numbers both sides accept
• Analyze customer and sales data to surface actionable trends
• Field the awkward question in the QBR and have the data ready
• Prioritize the backlog when everything is labeled urgent by someone
• Tighten the reporting loop until bad news travels in hours, not weeks
• Pressure-test new market entries before NexTech Systems commits real budget

What You'll Bring

• Manager-caliber judgment about when to upscale and when to absorb
• The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
• The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
• Working understanding of both Autodesk Inventor and PPAP in real-world settings
• Familiarity with the Pittsburgh market and local business landscape
• A point of view on NexTech Systems's space, sharpened by your own reading

Ask anyone in Pittsburgh about NexTech Systems and you'll hear the same thing: an innovative crew that ships fast and sweats the Critical Thinking details. We onboard you to the business mission first and the Statistical Process Control tooling second, in that order.

Count on $85,000 - $143,000, remote-first flexibility, parental leave, and a stipend for the tools and courses you need.

This role is in active recruitment, with a target start date just ahead.
