This person will keep projects moving, lead the production team, solve problems quickly, and create accountability throughout the department. This is not a sit-behind-a-desk position, but it is also not a role for someone who wants to do everyone's work. We need someone who knows how to lead, delegate, prioritize, make decisions, and hold a team accountable.

You should know what is due, what is behind, what is at risk, and what needs attention without waiting for someone else to tell you. You communicate clearly, make decisions, set expectations, follow through, and address problems when they happen. You understand that successful production isn't simply getting jobs completed—it's getting them completed correctly, ahead of time, efficiently, and profitably. If you're an experienced production leader who wants the opportunity to take ownership of a department, develop a strong team, improve systems, and help a growing company scale , we'd like to talk with you.
