Company Profile: 
Our client has been in business for 10 years, focusing both on government contracts and commercial applications within the Aerospace sector.  They have experienced significant growth and are scaling from a founder-led leadership model to a professionalized industry leader. This Director of Operations role is the perfect position for a director who thrives on being a "player-coach," offering the autonomy to implement lean processes that directly drive revenue while operating at the cutting edge of mission-critical components.

Job Description: Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Workflow Optimization: Evaluate and refine daily production schedules and design-to-manufacturing handoffs to eliminate bottlenecks, directly improving project margins and company revenue.
• Active Mentorship: Conduct daily touchpoints and coaching sessions with department managers to build their leadership capacity, moving them toward independent management of their respective teams.
• High-Stakes Liaison: Serve as the senior point of contact for customer engineering and procurement teams, translating complex technical specifications into accurate proposals and resolving any escalated supply chain or production issues.

Requirements:

• 10+ years of Operations Experience within the Aerospace or high-precision manufacturing space   
• Demonstrated track record of coaching and professionalizing managers with limited experience, moving a team from founder-led oversight to independent operational excellence.
• Ideal candidates will have previous knowledge of the government contracting and engineering specifications. 

Location: This role is based in the Greater Washington, DC area and is a hybrid work environment. The Director is expected to be primarily on-site to provide the face-to-face coaching and oversight necessary for a growing production team. Relocation assistance is available for the right candidate.
