Our client, a well-established electronics manufacturer with a loyal clientele, is looking for a passionate and analytical Director of Operations to add to their team in Melbourne, FL.

They are looking for a hands-on leader who will lead their team of 85 into the next generation of innovation but most importantly, preserve the culture they already have in place. Given the runway this position has, they’re looking for someone who leverages best-in-class workflow strategies while championing a culture of connectivity and collaboration. Someone who understands how to remove roadblocks through solution-oriented and data-driven decision-making. Whether you are looking for a role with more impact and visibility or are coming from a larger company and covet the chance to truly have your presence seen, felt, and heard on a more intimate scale, you have the chance to affect the overall outcome of a business and see how your contributions raise it to new heights. You will undoubtedly create a legacy you can be proud of. Don’t miss your chance to be a pilot rather than another passenger.

Who You Are: 

You understand there is a person behind every job title and foster an environment where someone never feels like a number. You make a point to interact with every member of your team because you know you are only as good as your people and relationships are the cornerstone of each company’s success. Although you enjoy putting your fingerprints on change, you never detach yourself from the day-to-day. You want to be on the production floor, facilitating communication between each division while making/mending bridges to drive initiatives forward. You understand innovation is the key to growth and find ways to harness the brilliant, creative minds of engineering teams while maintaining fiscal responsibility without stifling ideas. You embrace challenges because, after all, frustrations are just opportunities. You are excited and hungry to run a business but do not rule with an iron fist. Instead, you encourage an environment where everyone works together and although there is a clear structure in place, no one is afraid of change because of the trust you have worked to Build amongst each group. You don’t mind high expectations because the expectations someone has for you could never be higher than the ones that you have for yourself. Although you are a natural-born leader, you stand alongside your team and never in front of them.
