Production Manager - Be the Driver of Real Change

Location: Ohio (Confidential Search)

Tired of being stuck in a role where your ideas never go anywhere? Ready to take the wheel and actually do something with your leadership skills?

A well-established, family-owned food production company in Ohio is looking for a sharp, hands-on Production Manager (a.k.a. Process Optimizer, Efficiency Champion, and Team Builder in one). This isn't about babysitting a line - it's about stepping into a role where your leadership, creativity, and problem-solving can actually shape the way things run.

Why You Might Love It Here

  • People over Politics - No corporate maze, just a supportive, tight-knit team that's all about doing things better, together.
  • Stability with a Soul - Longstanding company with a great reputation and no drama.
  • Your Playground for Improvement - If you love tweaking systems, reducing waste, and building stronger teams, this is your jam.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Digging into day-to-day production and finding smarter, faster, better ways to get things done.
  • Rolling out lean manufacturing and process improvements that actually stick.
  • Leading and coaching supervisors and team members - building accountability, trust, and performance.
  • Making sure quality, safety, and compliance stay top-notch.
  • Collaborating with other departments to make sure everyone's pulling in the same direction.

What You Bring To The Table

  • Solid experience in food manufacturing - beef, pork, poultry, or similar is ideal.
  • Natural leadership and communication skills - people trust you and want to work with you.
  • A problem-solver's mindset - you don't just identify problems; you fix them.
  • Bonus points for lean, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement experience.

This is a confidential search - and a unique opportunity for someone who wants to be part of a stable, people-first company where your work matters every day.
