  • Execution Leadership : Step into the details when needed, clear roadblocks, and ensure critical initiatives are completed on time.
  • Team Leadership : Recruit, manage, and develop high‑performing teams aligned with aggressive growth goals.
  • CEO Partnership : Act as the CEO’s right hand in translating strategic objectives into operational reality and ensuring execution across the company.
  • Qualifications

  • Proven track record building and deploying manufacturing facilities.
  • Direct startup experience, ideally as a founder or senior operator.
  • Demonstrated expertise in contract negotiation and vendor management.
  • Strong project management skills with experience running large‑scale, complex projects.
  • Financial discipline with experience managing capital allocation and operational budgets.
  • Ability to lead from the front, hands‑on, detail oriented, and relentlessly focused on execution.
  • We offer a competitive compensation package that is based on expertise. We also offer the following benefits

  • Healthcare, we care about you and your family : 100% Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Stock : Ownership in a fast‑growing venture‑backed company.
  • Family Focus : Parental leave and flexibility for families.

  • Team Fun : Regularly scheduled events, and celebrations.
  • Learning : Learning and development opportunities to grow your skills and career.
  • Great team : Working with fun, hard‑working, kind people committed to making a difference!
  • Flexible culture : We are results‑focused. We don’t work at the office every day.
