Job Summary The Cleanroom Manager owns the overall performance, quality, and culture of the cleanroom operation. This role provides leadership and direction to the Cleanroom Supervisors (1st and 2nd shift), who in turn lead the Cleanroom Assemblers. The Clearoom Manager is accountable for the full results of the cleanroom — production output, quality and compliance, safety, and staffing — and builds the leadership bench beneath them through mentoring, structured training, and a strong focus on employee retention and engagement. This is a leadership role first: success is measured as much by the strength and growth of the Supervisors and their teams as by the cleanroom's operational output. Essential Functions Own the end-to-end results of the cleanroom operation across both shifts — production output, quality, safety, compliance, and cost — and be the single point of accountability to Operations leadership for cleanroom performance. Directly manage and develop the 1st and 2nd Shift Cleanroom Supervisors; set clear expectations, provide regular coaching and feedback, and hold them accountable to production, quality, and people-leadership standards. Mentor Supervisors on how to lead: conflict resolution, performance conversations, floor-level problem solving, and developing their own Assemblers — so leadership capability scales across both shifts. Build and champion a retention-focused culture; partner with Supervisors and HR on onboarding, recognition, career pathing, and engagement initiatives that reduce turnover among Cleanroom Assemblers. Design, standardize, and continuously improve cleanroom training programs (gowning, contamination control, assembly procedures, documentation practices) so training is consistent, well-documented, and repeatable across shifts. Review and align staffing, scheduling, and workload across shifts with the Supervisors to ensure balanced coverage, smooth shift-to-shift handoffs, and consistent output. Set the standard for cleanroom discipline — gowning procedures, contamination control, safety protocols — and hold both shifts to that standard through regular floor presence and audits. Own quality and compliance outcomes for the cleanroom: review deviations, complaint investigations, and corrective actions; ensure root causes are addressed and preventive actions stick, not just documented. Partner cross-functionally with Quality, Engineering, Facilities, Planning, Warehouse, and Supply Chain to resolve production issues, support validation and environmental monitoring activities, and align priorities. Report cleanroom performance, trends, staffing/retention metrics, and risks to Operations leadership, and drive continuous improvement initiatives across both shifts. Perform other duties as assigned. Education Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Life Sciences, Manufacturing, Business Administration, or related discipline) preferred. Required Experience & Competencies Minimum 7 years of experience in a cleanroom or regulated manufacturing environment, including at least 3 years managing supervisors or leading leaders (multi-shift experience strongly preferred). Proven track record of developing frontline leaders — mentoring supervisors, building bench strength, and improving team retention and engagement. Strong working knowledge of cleanroom protocols, contamination control standards, precision assembly techniques Demonstrated ownership mindset — comfortable being accountable for cleanroom results end-to-end, including outcomes driven by others' work. Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, BoMs, work orders, and SOPs; proficiency in MS Office with experience in ERP or production management systems a plus. Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to influence and align across all organizational levels, including senior leadership. Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, sound judgment under pressure, and a hands-on, floor-present leadership style. Approachable, patient, and tactful leader who builds trust with both supervisors and frontline staff; self-motivated with strong follow-through.
