Operations Manager Needed in Snowy Bozeman, Montana
Thriving and dynamic, Bozeman ranks 7th out of 576 micropolitan economies in the United States. Home to Montana State University (MSU), its 13,000 students and its reputation for being strong in engineering disciplines, our intellectual capital is high and so are the nearby snow-capped peaks in which we enjoy abundant outdoor activities at Big Sky and Bridger Bowl ski areas and surrounding national forests. Living in this city of 40,000, (with the wider metro reaching to 70,000), you'll experience the majesty and wonder of nearby mountains, rivers and Yellowstone Park, as well as the cultural, retail and medical amenities within our city limits.
As our Bozeman, Montana-based Operations Manager, your first mission will be to assess our current operations and come up with fresh ideas that can help us to improve our processes across the board. Top candidates not only think creatively, they have ideas that spring from, and are grounded in, a Six Sigma, 5-S or Lean Manufacturing mindset. Among projects on your front burner will be an ERP conversion from Exact MAX to SAP, in which you'll team with six to eight individuals from headquarters. Ongoing day-to-day responsibilities include taking charge of overall production and ensuring that we're optimized to execute on sales orders. With multiple direct reports from purchasing, manufacturing engineering and production, we're seeking a positive and spirited leader, with prior management experience, who looks for ways to bring people forward in their careers. Besides solid supervisory experience, your analytical prowess and communications skills should also be top notch. We'll rely on you to evaluate the merits of various operations options and take the lead in accumulating the necessary data, compiling it and presenting it to management. We're an organization that recognizes, ratifies and rewards top performers based on customer satisfaction metrics covering such criteria as on-time delivery and returned product response rates. You have a significant opportunity here both to exercise your autonomy as well as to be a solid team player for a corporate parent with a global footprint, with all that that means for your career advancement.
