Senior Operations Manager

Who we are

Our facilities run lean manufacturing, with daily tier meetings and visual boards. Selwyn Manufacturing is an industrial manufacturer with 8,600 employees and plants in eight countries.

The Senior Operations Manager runs daily operations for a distribution and service business with about 120 employees across two shifts. We track everything weekly: on-time delivery, cost per order, overtime and safety incidents. Our team is spread across 14 countries. Headquarters is in San Diego. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in Belgium, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. You will need at least 3 hours of overlap with US Pacific time. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

• Lead four supervisors and hold weekly one-on-ones with each
• Approve purchases and vendor contracts within your spending authority
• Investigate safety incidents and follow through on corrective actions
• Report weekly KPIs to leadership, including on-time delivery and cost per order
• Own the operating budget for labour, supplies and equipment

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in business, operations or supply chain, or equivalent experience
• Track record of improving productivity and cost metrics
• Comfortable with P&L or budget responsibility
• Available for occasional weekend and off-shift coverage
• Clear communicator with hourly staff and executives alike
