Reporting directly to the owner, this role is instrumental in managing our global supply and manufacturing processes, spurred by our substantial growth.
Our products are featured online, in leading big box retailers, and specialty stores. As we quietly disrupt the market, we seek a leader who is not satisfied with the status quo.

- Conduct on-site quality control inspections in Rockford and at factories.
- Work from Rockford (2-3 days) and Elgin (2-3 days) with travel 10-20% (Europe and/or China).
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in business or related field.
- Extensive and progressive experience in competitive manufacturing.
- Proven track record in mentoring, development, and delegation.
- Strong business acumen with the ability to work on the business, not just in the business.
What We Offer:
