Sr Director, Manufacturing

The Senior Director of Manufacturing is a senior operating leader responsible for the overall operational and financial performance of assigned manufacturing sites within the Merchandising Displays business. This role carries full P&L responsibility and owns results across safety, quality, service, cost, productivity, asset reliability, and profitability. As the P&L owner, this leader works in close partnership with the Commercial organization to drive top‑line growth, profitable mix, and sustainable bottom‑line results, ensuring manufacturing capabilities, cost structure, and capacity decisions align with customer strategy and business objectives. The role requires disciplined, strategic leadership in capital deployment, balancing productivity, growth enablement, and risk mitigation while holding teams accountable for return realization. The Senior Director of Manufacturing sets direction, establishes standards, and ensures results through strong plant leadership, while remaining prepared to engage directly in day‑to‑day plant operations when business conditions require active leadership presence.

This role balances strategic leadership with direct operational engagement. While the Senior Director of Manufacturing primarily operates through strong plant leadership teams, there will be periods that require active, hands‑on involvement in day‑to‑day plant operations to stabilize performance, address risk, or accelerate results. The Senior Director of Manufacturing is expected to know when to lead through systems and leaders, and when to personally engage in plant‑level execution to drive results.
