● Troubleshoot complex manufacturing challenges and support manufacturing teams in solving production issues
● Drive continuous improvement initiatives across manufacturing operations
Technology Transfer & Product Scale-Up
● Lead the technical transfer of new products from development into commercial manufacturing
● Work directly with contract manufacturers to scale formulations and processes successfully
● Partner closely with Product Development to translate product specifications into scalable manufacturing processes
● Oversee pilot trials, validation runs, and commercialization readiness for new product launches
● Ensure new products are successfully and reliably launched across manufacturing partners
Manufacturing Performance & Continuous Improvement
● Establish operational metrics and performance tracking across contract manufacturing partners
● Improve manufacturing efficiency, yield, and process reliability
● Lead root cause investigations and corrective actions related to manufacturing issues
● Implement stronger process control and operational discipline across manufacturing partners
● Develop scalable manufacturing frameworks that support continued company growth
Cross-Functional Collaboration
● Partner closely with Product Development to ensure manufacturing processes support product performance requirements
● Collaborate with Quality and Regulatory to ensure manufacturing processes meet compliance and quality standards
● Work with supply chain and planning teams to support production scheduling and inventory needs
● Provide manufacturing insight during product development and innovation planning
Who You Are
● Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline
● 10–15+ years of experience in manufacturing, process engineering, or operations leadership within consumer packaged goods, personal care, or related industries
