Operations Manager - VTS

Leybold Vacuum USA Inc. • Export, PA • 4h ago

Your role

Leybold North America is at a pivotal moment. We have a strong service footprint, dedicated teams, and a growing customer base-yet our operations are largely reactive. We are seeking a National Operations Manager to fundamentally transform how we operate: shifting from firefighting to planning, from inconsistency to disciplined processes, and from adhoc execution to measurable, scalable performance.

This is not a maintenance role. It is a transformation mandate. The successful candidate will quickly assess the current state, establish a structured operating model within the first 60-90 days, and deliver sustained, measurable improvements-fully supported by senior leadership.

About the Role

You will lead Leybold North America's service operations across four core pillars: Field Service, Workshop/InHouse Service, Service Administration & Back Office, and Operational Excellence, with a temporary oversight of Technical Support during a transition period.

You will lead with data, build clear business cases for structural or headcount changes, and create an operating model where efficiency, customer satisfaction, and financial accuracy reinforce one another. You will inherit a real operation with real challenges-and the authority to fix them.

Experience managing multi-site or geographically distributed service teams

Strong financial acumen - comfortable with P&L impact, ROI analysis, and business case development

Background in industrial equipment, vacuum technology, or technical service is a strong advantage

Leadership & Character:

You are a builder, not just a manager - you see broken systems and want to fix them

You lead with data but communicate with clarity and conviction

You hold teams accountable without demoralizing them

You can build trust quickly in a complex, cross-functional environment

You are honest about what you don't know and ask for help when you need it

You are comfortable presenting business cases to senior leadership and defending your assumptions

In return, we offer

At Leybold, we are driven by the belief that there is always a better way. Our culture is defined by openness to change, continuous improvement, and constructive feedback.

We invest in your longterm success through individualized development pathways, global career opportunities, and advanced technical training via our internal academy.
