You can move between big-picture operational priorities and immediate production challenges and are comfortable working in an environment where leaders are expected to be visible, engaged, and accountable. We are less concerned about whether you have already held the title of Director and more interested in what you have accomplished, the depth of your injection molding knowledge, your ability to lead others, and your potential to grow with the organization. This is an opportunity to take the next step in your manufacturing leadership career and make a direct impact on a diverse manufacturing operation. You will have the opportunity to influence manufacturing strategy, develop a strong team, improve operational performance, and remain closely connected to the production floor and the technical challenges that drive results. If you have strong thermoplastic injection molding experience, have successfully led people and operations, and are ready for broader leadership responsibility, we want to hear from you. Salary Range: $120,000 - $150,000 , plus comprehensive benefits and professional development opportunities. PM21 Compensation details: 00 PIbc2d681b0d56-8377
