Role Overview

The Director of Operations owns Operational Contribution Margin (OCM) through disciplined execution of production, purchasing, labor efficiency, scrap control, supplier accountability, and on-time delivery performance.

This is a hands-on leadership role in a growing manufacturing company. The Director of Operations is directly responsible for protecting and improving margin by eliminating operational waste, enforcing purchasing discipline, improving production flow, and holding suppliers and internal teams accountable.

This position holds full authority over production scheduling, purchasing strategy, supplier performance, incoming quality enforcement, inventory discipline, and backlog management.

Success in this role is measured by Operational Contribution Margin, quality control, and reliable on-time delivery.

What This Role Must Know

A successful candidate should have strong working knowledge of:

• Manufacturing process flow and bottleneck identification
• Production scheduling and throughput management
• Purchasing discipline and supplier accountability
• Inventory control and working capital management
• Quality control and defect reduction systems
• Operational margin drivers within a manufacturing environment
• Lean operational principles and practical process improvement
• Basic financial literacy, including cost drivers and margin impact

This role requires the ability to translate operational improvements directly into financial performance.

What This Role Must Be Comfortable With

The right person for this role is comfortable with:

• Owning operational results end-to-end
• Working inside a small business environment where systems must be built and improved
• Making decisions with incomplete information and solving problems quickly
• Managing both production personnel and supplier relationships
• Implementing operational discipline and accountability across the shop floor
• Balancing operational efficiency with product quality and delivery performance
• Being directly responsible for measurable operational performance metrics
• Leading operational improvement initiatives rather than maintaining the status quo

This role is best suited for someone who prefers building and improving systems rather than simply maintaining existing processes.

Candidate Profile

The strongest candidates for this role typically come from environments where they have:

• Managed manufacturing operations or production systems
• Driven measurable improvements in efficiency, quality, or margin
• Implemented process improvements in growing manufacturing organizations
• Demonstrated the ability to take ownership of operational performance

This is a hands-on operational leadership role, not a purely administrative position.

Compensation

Compensation includes a competitive base salary plus a performance-based bonus tied directly to Operational Contribution Margin, Quantity Return Rate (QRR), and on-time delivery metrics.

This structure rewards disciplined operational leadership and measurable financial improvement.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Experience leading production in a small-to-mid-sized manufacturing environment
• Has personally owned purchasing and supplier accountability
• Has implemented measurable scrap reduction and efficiency improvements
• Comfortable working without corporate support infrastructure
• Thinks in terms of financial outcomes, not just operational activity
• Speaks in numbers and measurable results
• Demonstrates ownership mentality and accountability

What Success Looks Like

Within 6–12 months:

• Operational Contribution Margin stabilizes and improves
• Scrap is measured and trending downward
• Purchasing is consolidated and disciplined
• Supplier credits are tracked and recovered
• Backlog is stable and predictable with lead time improvement
• CEO operational involvement is significantly reduced

This is a leadership role for someone who wants ownership, accountability, and the opportunity to materially impact a growing manufacturing company.

Do you want to become a surrogate? We are now offering a sign on bonus to all qualified and matched surrogates that sign contracts. The first step is to fill out our surrogate application. A fertility specialist will contact you to continue the process. For intended parents interested in surrogacy to start or grow their families please contact us today. The surrogacy process is complex, but we will be with you every step of the way. Call today to get started.

Women who may have the ability to produce eggs but are unable to use their uterus or do not have a uterus, may consider a surrogate. A donated egg may also be used with the surrogate in the event a woman cannot produce her own eggs or her uterus is not intact or insufficient to carry a pregnancy. In either case, the husband's sperm, if viable, may be used.

Using an egg donor unrelated to the surrogate carrier eliminates any biological tie. The egg of the surrogate is never used as part of the assisted reproduction process, so that a surrogate is never in the position of delivering her own biological child.

The basic requirements of a woman to serve as a surrogate are:

• Emotionally stable
• Responsible
• In good physical health
• Non-smoker
• Has had at least one successful pregnancy
• Is capable of carrying a child to full term

A woman is not required to fall within a particular age range to serve as a surrogate, but most intended parents prefer a surrogate under the age of 40. For more information on surrogacy please see the documents on the left side of this page.

In Texas, there is a judicial process for validating the Gestational Contract (the contract between the intended parents and the surrogate). Included within the various requirements for having a Gestational Contract validated by a Texas court is that the intended parents must be married and the surrogate must have previously carried a child to term. Additionally, there are residency requirements that apply to either the surrogate or the intended parents, but not both.

Compensation for a surrogate services generally starts in the range of $35,000 - $40,000, for base compensation with over all fees up to 70k, in many cases. The amount of compensation is dependent upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, whether the surrogate carries twins, what procedures a surrogate is required to undergo and whether the delivery is vaginally or by cesarean section.
