What are the responsibilities and job description for the Production Lead position at AXN Industries?
This isn't your average "lead/management" job. This is a boots-on-the-floor, sleeves-rolled-up, lead-by-example kind of role. We're a boutique manufacturer producing 100–10,000 units per batch using a mix of manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic equipment. Working with 20 brands, we craft high-quality beauty, wellness, and supplement products — from skincare to tinctures, powders, gummies, and pet care.
If you're passionate about producing amazing products, are performance-driven, and want to grow into a powerhouse production leader — we want you on our team.
Mindset & Attitude
Skills can be taught. Mindset cannot. This role requires someone who brings the right mentality from day one.
- Accountability-Driven: You are comfortable being held accountable — and holding others accountable — to meet high standards, production quotas, and quality expectations. You own results.
- Positive, Solutions-Focused: You operate with a glass-half-full mindset. Challenges are met with urgency, creativity, and solutions — not excuses or negativity.
- Lead by Example, No Ego: You don't ask your team to do anything you won't do yourself. You set the tone through action, consistency, and work ethic.
- Team-Lifting Mentality: You push for excellence while lifting others up. You bring clarity, energy, & encouragement — especially when things get intense & stressful.
- Resilient & Adaptable: You bounce back quickly, adjust on the fly, and keep moving forward. You understand that production environments require flexibility and grit.
What You'll Do:
- Manage daily production with a hands-on approach — you'll be right in the thick of formulating, mixing, batching, and getting things done.
- Formulate products across a variety of categories: beauty, skincare, bath, powder & gummy supplements, pet care, tinctures (oil, glycerin, alcohol-based).
- Maintain documentation and SOPs & ensure compliance required by our FDA, cGMP & USDA Organic certifications — you'll learn them inside and out.
- Write and execute Master Manufacturing Records (MMRs) and Batch Production Records (BPRs).
- Use Fishbowl, our production inventory system — we'll train you, and then you'll use it daily.
- Manage Quality & Expectations - Manage production timelines, & quality control
- Be ready for overtime and occasional Sundays — when production calls, we answer.
What You Bring:
- Experience in formulating and manufacturing products (cosmetics, supplements or food required) and cGMP, SOPs, and production documentation
- A hands-on positive mindset — you're not just managing; you're in the trenches with your team.
- Detail-oriented but fast-moving — organized chaos is your playground.
- Willingness to learn, grow, and lead — there's significant growth potential here for the right person.
- Strong communication skills — you can lead people and work cross-functionally with the warehouse team
- Remember the word "Jumping Jacks" for screening question 3
