Ottawa, ON | On-Site $180,000 to $200,000 + bonus & car allowence
An established Ottawa manufacturing operation is looking for an experienced General Manager to lead the business through its next stage of growth and operational performance.
This is an operations-first leadership role for someone who understands how to run a manufacturing facility — the people, the numbers, the processes and the day-to-day decisions that keep an operation performing well.
With an established team in place, the incoming General Manager will have the opportunity to build on a strong foundation while identifying opportunities to improve performance, strengthen processes and support the continued growth of the operation.
What You’ll Be Responsible For:
Provide overall leadership and direction for the Ottawa manufacturing operation, with accountability for P&L and site performance
Partner closely with production and operational leaders to ensure safety, quality, service and productivity objectives are achieved
Identify opportunities to improve processes, efficiencies, workflow and overall operational performance
Review operational and financial results, using data to identify trends, challenges and opportunities
Oversee pricing and market-related activities in partnership with the Finance team
Develop, coach and support the facility’s management team while building accountability across the operation
Ensure resources, labour and production capacity are aligned with business requirements
Work cross-functionally with Finance and other areas of the organization to support business planning and decision-making
Maintain a visible presence within the facility and stay connected to both day and afternoon shift operations
Support continuous improvement initiatives and help position the Ottawa operation for its next stage of growth
Who We’re Looking For:
You’re an experienced manufacturing leader who understands both the operational and financial sides of running a facility. You’re comfortable on the production floor, equally comfortable reviewing a P&L, and know how to work through an established leadership team to improve results. Ideally, you bring:
Progressive leadership experience within manufacturing operations, ideally at the Plant Manager, Operations Manager, General Manager or similar level
Experience with P&L ownership, budgeting, operational planning and performance management
A strong track record of improving manufacturing processes, productivity and operational efficiencies
Experience leading and developing managers and operational teams
Strong commercial judgment, including exposure to pricing, costing and market considerations
The ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on operational leadership
The Opportunity:
This is an established operation with an experienced management team already in place and the opportunity for a thoughtful transition with current leadership.
The organization offers a competitive executive compensation package, performance-based incentive and additional executive benefits, with flexibility to recognize the experience of the successful candidate.
For a manufacturing leader who enjoys improving operations, developing strong teams and having genuine ownership over business performance, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact within an established Ottawa operation.
