About the Company

This opportunity is with a high-growth, private equity–backed precision manufacturing platform serving leading MedTech and industrial customers. The business operates globally with manufacturing sites in the U.S. and Europe. Approximately 75% of revenue is derived from MedTech, and the company is scaling rapidly through a combination of organic initiatives and an active acquisition strategy.

With strong profitability, no debt, and multiple acquisitions currently under LOI, the company is investing in operational leadership to support the next phase of growth and ensure scalable performance across its manufacturing footprint.

The role combines hands-on operational improvement within manufacturing environments with broader value creation initiatives tied to performance improvement and platform expansion. Key initiatives include manufacturing throughput optimization, cycle time analysis, cost modeling, operational KPI development, ERP and planning system integration, and supporting the integration of newly acquired businesses.

This position is well suited for someone who enjoys working directly within manufacturing environments while also contributing to broader operational and strategic initiatives within a growing private equity–backed platform.
