THE COMPANY
Great Northern Cabinetry, a manufacturer of high-quality custom cabinetry sold through a nationwide network of kitchen and bath dealers, produces approximately 20,000 cabinets per year. Located in the Village of Rib Lake, WI (a 15-minute drive to the county seat in Medford, WI), Great Northern Cabinetry began in 1972 and employs approximately 85 people. The company is the village’s economic engine and its largest employer.
In 2020, a small group of private investors with extensive experience operating businesses in similar industries acquired Great Northern Cabinetry with a vision to create a leading growth platform in the industry. Ownership is actively involved and is executing the following strategy:
- Implement a lean focused operational system that drives daily improvement in safety, quality, delivery and cost.
- Double the number of active dealers served (and then double again) by adding density in existing markets and then adding new geographies over time.
- Elevate the company’s standing in the community with the aspiration to be the “best manufacturing job in Taylor County” by having a safe and welcoming environment, a team-oriented culture, and a strong compensation and benefits package.
The near-term and long-term outlook for the company’s products is strong. Both new construction and renovation activity is poised to grow for several years due to three macro-economic factors:
- Mortgage rates are expected to slowly decline from multi-decade highs, reducing the cost of home ownership and reigniting existing home sales.
- Since 2009, housing starts in the U.S. have substantially lagged new family formation, creating a shortage of three to five million homes nationwide.
- Equity in homeowner’s houses is at all time highs, and the average age of the U.S. housing stock is approaching a record 40 years old, implying a remodeling boom is on the horizon.
The company’s goal is to achieve $50 million in sales over the next several years, up from approximately $15 million today. With a strong macro-economic backdrop and a clear growth strategy, this aspiration is well within reach.
THE POSITION
Reporting to the company’s Chief Operating Officer (and one of the investor/owners), the Plant Director is responsible for daily safety, quality, production output and equipment maintenance. Of the company’s 85 employees, approximately 55 are direct production workers.
The newly hired Plant Director will work in concert with the Chief Operating Officer to implement and execute a lean focused management system, be able to motivate the hourly team by leveraging his or her soft skills while driving change, accountability, and results. The team has been accepting of the new way of operating but has many skills to learn and old habits to break. Creating a work environment that values experience while implementing a new system and improving our attractiveness to prospective team members is a critical part of the role.
The Plant Director will be part of the executive team and participate in the weekly executive staff meeting. Regarding specific duties, the successful candidate will:
- Develop a culture of safety, quality, delivery and cost throughout the company.
- Execute the lean manufacturing system being implemented to drive daily improvement.
- Create an environment that is attractive to potential employees by setting high expectations, holding team members accountable, rewarding performance, and demonstrating respect to all individuals.
- Achieve the daily, weekly, and monthly production objectives.
THE CANDIDATE
The successful candidate will be a self-starter who can interface effectively with all levels of the organization, is someone who has strong analytical and communication skills, and has the patience to work with a team that is transitioning from what “was” to what “will be.”
Direct experience with wood products would be beneficial, but at a minimum the successful candidate will have led operations in an engineered product business with medium to high volumes. For the right candidate, this will be an exciting, dynamic, challenging and rewarding position, with the opportunity to influence the company’s performance for years to come.
As it builds the company, ownership is seeking to employ three primary principles:
- Build a team oriented, politics free culture that places a high value on people;
- Serve customers the way we want to be served when we are the customer;
- Apply lean manufacturing techniques to create a mindset of continuous improvement.
The ideal candidate will be aligned with those principles and lead with the following characteristics:
- Patience with people; impatience with process.
- Cross functional leadership.
- Teacher and mentor.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills – knowing which levers to pull to drive different outcomes.
- Strategy development for capital planning, technology, process, and people.
While the ideal candidate will have a four-year degree and 15+ years of experience (10 of which will have been in leadership roles) leaders without a four-degree but a strong track record of success will also be considered. The selected candidate will have a strong background working for an organization with an established lean culture.
The chosen candidate must:
- Have impeccable integrity,
- Be able to lead others by example
- Be willing to “get his/her hands dirty” when required.
Finally, the successful candidate will enjoy living and working in a rural environment where being a part of the community is paramount and outdoors activities are central to a full lifestyle. This position is not eligible for remote work. Compensation will be competitive and commensurate with experience.
Great Northern Cabinetry is an equal opportunity employer. Individuals seeking employment at Great Northern Cabinetry are considered without regards to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, veteran status, gender identity or sexual orientation.

Position Overview: The Executive Editor, working with the Managing Editor as the newsroom leadership team, will shape the next generation of multiple news and information products offered by Lookout Santa Cruz and Lookout more widely, applying and growing the Lookout Local journalism model, making sure we meet both our mission and business performance needs.
At Lookout Local, we’ve figured out a bunch of things well – real and early-on community engagement, multi-stream revenue, local advertising and bedrock breaking news-to-accountability through the day local journalism. And we appreciate the national recognition of our work from our Pulitzer to our fast-ramp launch and model-building in Oregon. But that’s just a beginning in Santa Cruz and in Eugene-Springfield, and as we plot next communities to serve.
For this position, we’re seeking a spirited, top editor/news product innovator ready to work with great colleagues to take Lookout Santa Cruz specifically and Lookouts overall to next levels of journalism, community service and revenue generation. We understand the fast-evolving connections in that holy trinity, and believe that harnessing the latest tech/thinking (including mastering local AI application, on which we’ve laid a great foundation already) is fundamental to our future. At this point, we focus on three key types of products: site, app and newsletter, and this leader, working with both our senior team and newsroom will build on those — and what’s to come.
At our two Lookouts, now approaching 40 strong people in number, we pride ourselves on being both fiercely mission-driven and fiercely business-driven, and know that only those local news organizations (like our friends and cohorts in the Knight Growth Challenge Fund, with Texas Tribune now the eighth member after we joined as the seventh) will prosper in the now-faster changing ways all of us find and consume news. We’re ready for the task, and seek a collaborative, accomplished audience- and product-focused colleague to join us in this adventure.
Ideally, we’d like the candidate to be located and (relocatable) to the Bay Area, if not Santa Cruz itself, able to join us in person at least a couple of days a week. The ideal candidate possesses a good understanding of the differentiation of Lookout ‘s model and a passion for building atop it, with the well-demonstrated experience to be successful at a high national quality level.

In this strategic content and product analysis, and product development, works as a member of Lookout’s overall senior leadership team as well as with its product and revenue teams as well.

Nationally, becomes another key spokesperson for Lookout’s success and expansion strategy.
4) Leads, with managing editor, next plans for development and training in the newsroom, creating a development program for journalists, individually, and collectively, setting up a steady cadence of learning/training programs. The executive editor role requires a demonstrated, collegial leader, with substantial newsroom management, well-tested digital and audience experience, and one who excels in building further on both a set of products and a culture of excellence and collaboration. Working with the managing editor, who will direct the newsroom day to day, the ideal candidate both values Lookout’s early success and offers a vision of its next steps, steps that are both mission- and business-building. Deeply using audience analytics, the ideal candidate will proactively assess and recommend initiatives that do both, using emerging digital tools to their optimal points, and work closely with both the newsroom and Lookout’s senior team to advance quickly the work that must be done to push forward Lookout locally and nationally.
