Director of Operations

A fast-growing, privately held manufacturer of specialty tools in the Greenville, South Carolina area is looking for a Director of Operations to lead all production, inventory, purchasing, and quality functions. This is a high-impact role for an experienced operations leader ready to build scalable systems and double production capacity in a company where demand is outpacing supply. You will report directly to the CEO and have full organizational and financial support to get the job done.

YOU'LL BE A GREAT FIT IF YOU:

• Have successfully led production operations in a high-growth or fast-scaling small-to-midsize manufacturing environment
• Have built or improved lean operating systems — including daily huddles, KPI tracking, and visual management — from the ground up
• Have taken ownership of a team with open gaps, filled key roles, and developed the people around you to perform at a higher level
• Are comfortable working with senior leadership to make data-driven decisions and move fast in a company that is scaling quickly

WHAT YOU GET:

• You will lead a full-court press to double monthly production capacity — capital, people, and process — in a company that is growing at 60% year over year with no signs of slowing down
• Greenville, South Carolina is consistently ranked one of the best places to live in the U.S. — great schools, low cost of living, one hour from the mountains, and three hours from the beach
• As the company scales toward a PE-backed exit, the right leader will have built the operational foundation that drives that outcome — making this a career-defining opportunity
• Highly competitive compensation package

TO BE CONSIDERED, YOU'LL NEED:

A bachelor's degree is required, with a preference for an engineering or operations background. Candidates should bring 7 or more years of progressive manufacturing operations leadership, including direct experience as a Plant Manager or Director of Operations. Experience leading teams through high-growth environments is a must.

If this resonates with you and you believe you are able to meet the challenges of an exciting company in the Greenville, South Carolina area, please apply.
