Location : Waltham, MA (Hybrid / 3 days on-site weekly)

Role ID : 1478

We’re looking for a hands-on, driven Contract Manufacturing Manager to oversee planning, production, and procurement across three key contract manufacturing partners. You’ll be the operational heartbeat ensuring that production runs smoothly, schedules stay on track, and product gets out the door — all while supporting an exciting growth phase with new product launches and commercialization opportunities.

This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, enjoys solving complex supply challenges, and can confidently lead and influence external partners to deliver results.

Position Description :

• Own day-to-day operations with three U.S.-based contract manufacturing partners, driving production schedules, tracking attainment, and ensuring on-time, in-full delivery.
• Lead planning and procurement coordination, ensuring materials, forecasts, and production plans align with business needs and warehouse limits.
• Identify and resolve production issues — acting as the key liaison between manufacturing, customer service, and internal planning teams.
• Support commercialization efforts for new or existing co-manufacturers, contributing to the launch of new SKUs and efficiency initiatives.
• Monitor performance metrics such as fill rates, service levels, and production attainment, holding partners accountable to high standards.
• Continuously improve processes to help partners operate more effectively and reduce internal firefighting.
