Apply below and let’s start the conversation.

Who We Are

Virginia Transformer is the largestU.S.-owned producer of power transformers in North America, and we’ve been able to grow the past 50-plus years through an unwavering focus on delivering for our customers. We’re more than 5,400 people strong and are known throughout the industry for being an engineering company that makes premium quality transformers in the shortest lead times.

As a privately held, organically growing company, we thrive on nimbleness, innovation, and tenacity.

Join Our Team

If you love the thrill of securing the U.S. electric grid, enabling all manufacturing in the country, and the energy of a fast-moving train — this is the place for you. We train hard, grow together, and lead with purpose. Every transformer we build is custom, every challenge unique, and every team member essential.

We’re looking for those ready to lead, fueled by commitment, and driven by impact. We are growing so fast that all our available roles are not yet posted, so let us know if you are interested and we will follow-up.

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) (Chief Infrastructure and Governance Lead)

Company: Virginia Transformer Corp

Reports to: Chief Executive Officer

Location: Onsite / Executive presence required

Role Level: Executive Leadership Team

Role Overview

The Chief of Administration at Virginia Transformer Corp is responsible for translating the company’s aggressive growth strategy into disciplined, scalable enterprise operations across a complex, multi-plant manufacturing environment.

As a privately held, rapidly growing industrial manufacturer with 5,500+ employees across the U.S., Mexico, and India, the CAO ensures that people operations, corporate infrastructure, compliance, systems, and shared services scale in lockstep with production, engineering, and commercial growth.

This role serves as the operational backbone of the enterprise, providing consistent administrative oversite and risk management, and partnering closely with the CEO, CFO, COO, and CHRO to bring structure, consistency, and execution rigor to a fast-moving organization.

Key Responsibilities (VTC-Tuned)

1. Administrative Policies & Procedures

• Lead enterprise administrative operations supporting multiple manufacturing plants and global offices
• Standardize internal processes, governance frameworks, and operating rhythms across plants and corporate functions
• Drive operational discipline while preserving speed, flexibility, and execution focus

2. Construction, Facilities & Physical Infrastructure

• Oversee facilities management, real estate strategy, leases, utilities, and site services across North America and international locations
• Partner with Operations and Engineering on plant expansions, new site development, and facility modernization
• Ensure facilities and infrastructure scale safely, reliably, and efficiently to support 24/7 manufacturing operations

3. Legal, Risk & Compliance (Manufacturing-Focused)

• Serve as executive liaison with internal and external legal counsel
• Ensure compliance across labor, immigration, safety, environmental, and regulatory frameworks
• Oversee enterprise risk management, audits, and internal controls
• Support contract governance with customers, suppliers, utilities, government entities, and enterprise service vendors

4. MIS – Management Information Systems

• Provide executive oversight of internal IT, enterprise systems, and business platforms
• Ensure systems effectively support manufacturing operations, engineering workflows, HR, and finance
• Drive standardization across ERP, HRIS, ATS, and operational technology platforms
• Partner on cybersecurity, data integrity, system resilience, and infrastructure scalability

Why This Role Matters at VTC

This is not a traditional corporate administration role.

It is an execution-focused leadership role designed for a company that is:

• Growing rapidly
• Operating 24/7 manufacturing environments
• Managing global operational complexity
• Balancing entrepreneurial speed with operational discipline

The CAO ensures that administrative infrastructure enables growth rather than becoming a constraint.

Qualifications & Experience

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Operations Management, Finance, Human Resources, Engineering, or a related discipline required
• This role prioritizes operational and enterprise leadership backgrounds over legal-practice-centric career paths
• Advanced degree preferred (MBA or equivalent executive education)

Professional Experience

• 20+ years of progressive leadership experience in enterprise operations, administration, or shared services within industrial or manufacturing environments
• 10+ years in senior leadership roles (CAO, COO, SVP Operations, or equivalent) with responsibility for multi-site or global organizations
• Proven success translating growth strategy into scalable operating models, governance frameworks, and execution discipline
• Demonstrated experience overseeing administrative functions, compliance, shared services, and enterprise systems at scale
• Experience operating in privately held, high-growth, or complex global manufacturing organizations strongly preferred

Location Details: Remote, United States

At GoDaddy the future of work looks different for each team. Some teams work in the office full-time; others have a hybrid arrangement (they work remotely some days and in the office some days) and some work entirely remotely.

This position may be a hybrid or fully remote position, as decided by your manager. If designated as hybrid, you'll divide your time between working remotely from your home and an office location, so you should live within commuting distance. If designated as remote, you'll be working remotely from your home and may occasionally visit a GoDaddy office to meet with your team for events or meetings. Your hiring manager can share more about this role's hybrid or remote designation.

This position is not eligible to be performed in Alaska, Mississippi, North Dakota, or the Virgin Islands.

GoDaddy is not currently considering candidates for this role in California, Seattle, or NYC.
