What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Manufacturing Advisor - Operations/Production/Plant Manager position at SaaS Expert?
ABOUT US:
Intangible Partners builds practical AI-powered systems that help growing manufacturing companies lift operational efficiency, reduce manual work, and unlock real business value. Our approach starts with understanding real processes, identifying high-impact opportunities, and deploying custom AI agents that deliver measurable results.
We have scaled products from zero to massive adoption, raised venture capital, and turned complex technology into tools customers gladly pay for.
APPLICANT QUALIFICATION QUESTIONS:
* Do you have 2 years experience in manufacturing?
* Do you have Manufacturing Leadership Experience? (Operations, Production or Plant)
* Are you familiar with the day-to-day operations and struggles of a typical small to mid-sized manufacturer?
REQUIREMENTS:
* 2 Years in a Manufacturing Leadership Role
* High Performance Competitive Drive
THE ROLE:
As a Senior Manufacturing Operations Advisor, you will work directly with owners, presidents, and general managers inside high-mix, RFQ-driven manufacturing environments.
Your role is to do what you have done your entire career - just at a much higher level of impact:
* Diagnose where operations are leaking time, money, and trust.
* Identify the real causes behind late orders, margin bleed, and chaos.
* Serve as a trusted operational peer - not a salesperson, not a software pusher.
You will not be "selling AI." You will be helping manufacturers finally fix the problems they have been managing around for years.
And no - you do not need to be an AI engineer.
We have world-class technical talent building the systems. Your value is judgment, credibility, and operational truth.
WHO IS THIS FOR:
This role is for operators who have learned manufacturing the hard way - by living it.
You will thrive here if you deeply understand:
* How production actually breaks under pressure
* Why ERP and automation projects so often fail
* Where spreadsheets quietly destroy margin and visibility
* How change really happens on a shop floor and why forcing it never works
If you have spent years:
* Running plants
* Fixing broken schedules
* Protecting margins in messy environments
* Holding operations together with duct tape, grit, and experience
This role lets you apply that hard-earned expertise to transform manufacturing at scale - without owning the day-to-day firefighting anymore.
COMPENSATION & GROWTH:
This position has no caps on earning.
Your impact, relationships, and results directly shape your upside.
More importantly, this role offers something rare:
* Respect for your experience
* Exposure to elite technical talent
* A seat at the forefront of how AI reshapes manufacturing - the right way
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Manufacturing is entering a once-in-a-generation transition.
AI will either be layered on top of broken systems or guided by people who understand how plants truly operate.
This role exists for the second kind of leader.
