This role is ideal for a seasoned professional who thrives in small, unsophisticated company environments and can bring both strategic vision and executional excellence.

  • CEO Support: Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO, helping to offload operational responsibilities and drive business performance.

Must-Have Experience:

  • Proven experience in manufacturing environments
  • Strong background in cost accounting and performance tracking systems
  • Demonstrated ability to lead and build teams in small, family-owned, or underdeveloped company settings
  • Hands-on leadership style with a willingness to roll up sleeves and get involved in the details
  • Experience working with unsophisticated or evolving company structures

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • A proactive, self-starting leader who can operate independently
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and building systems from scratch
  • Strong communicator with the ability to influence across all levels of the organization
  • Results-oriented with a focus on continuous improvement
