• 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

Contract Manufacturing Leadership

• Own and manage Carpe’s network of contract manufacturing partners
• Build strong working relationships with technical teams at manufacturing partners
• Improve operational performance across quality, delivery, and cost
• Lead onboarding and qualification of new manufacturing partners as capacity expands
• Ensure manufacturing partners are prepared to support both current production and future growth
• Serve as the primary operational leader responsible for manufacturing performance across the network

Who You Are

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline
