Vice President of Operations | Confidential Search | Midwest RHH202607

Harvey Hohauser & Associates is conducting a retained search for a Vice President of Operations on behalf of a long-established, privately owned manufacturer serving non-automotive transportation OEMs. The company specializes in low-volume, high-variation engineered interiors — combining precision engineering, ergonomic design, and durable materials. The organization is in the midst of a significant operational and financial transformation, and this leader will be central to its success. HAVES:

Turnaround or strategic transformation operational leadership experience

Be in West Michigan

Low volume/job shop manufacturing experience

The Role

Reporting directly to the CEO, the VP of Operations will lead all day-to-day manufacturing operations and serve as the CEO's operational right hand. This is a turnaround leadership role, one that demands both shop-floor credibility and boardroom presence. The right candidate will drive sustainable profitability through operational discipline, process standardization, and cultural transformation.

This is not a role for a manager who delegates from a distance. It requires a hands-on executive who leads by example, builds trust at every level of the organization, and has a proven record of getting results.

What We're Looking For

• 15+ years of progressive manufacturing leadership, including 10+ years in senior operations roles
• Demonstrated success leading operational turnarounds in custom-order, high-mix (job shop) manufacturing environments
• Experience in engineered-to-order manufacturing, metal fabrication, and assembly operations
• Strong financial acumen
• Proven ability to lead within a UAW environment
• A \"blue-collar executive\" equally effective in motivating hourly associates and presenting to ownership
• Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, or management; MBA a plus

Why This Role

This is an opportunity to step into a high-visibility leadership position with direct impact on the trajectory of a company mid-transformation with the full support of the CEO and ownership group.
