● 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
