Adam Zak helps connect exceptionally skilled Lean executives with companies that are truly committed to long-term Lean operations success. Adam’s hands-on approach to Lean executive recruiting helps his clients drive and sustain their Lean transformation, while helping executives find a new corporate home where they can create a direct, meaningful impact with their LEAN skills and expertise.

 

But sometimes, it’s not just about your skill at managing a certain number of people, your comfort level in a specific sized organization, or the depth and breadth of your LEAN expertise that’s important. Lifestyle and family values considerations are critical to long-term success, and small-town living is not for everyone.   And our client, Marvin Windows and Doors, would like this to be a successful match for you and for them, for the long term.

I’m conducting an executive search for an exceptionally talented Vice President, Operations, someone who can lead a business of over 2000 team members, 7 direct reports (2 plant managers, components & assembly; materials director; director technical services; quality manager; CI manager; manufacturing services manager), and manufacturing volume of $300 million+.  Someone who is a LEAN Leader and understands how to drive continuous improvement in a LEAN Enterprise.

 

Our client is one of the top building products manufacturers in North America.  The company is privately held and managed by a family with roots going back many score years in this northern Minnesota community. Position reports to SVP Operations and is responsible for well over half of the company’s North American production volume, a critical role at the very least.  VP Operations holds full responsibility for all manufacturing and manufacturing support activities and results, including business planning and execution, people development, quality, LEAN continuous improvement, customer relationships and local, regional and community relations.

 

Our ideal candidate will demonstrate a seasoned and stable career growth path with sustained performance over time in ever more challenging manufacturing and operations environments.  And, more importantly than any one professional qualification, we seek an individual committed to building a career for the long-term with one of the most recognized and people-focused brand name companies in North American manufacturing and service today.
