Executive Vice President (manufacturing)

Massie Manufacturing • Baraga, MI • 5d ago

Massie Manufacturing is growing, and this is the kind of growth that calls for strong, hands-on leadership. They are looking for an Executive Vice President to lead their team in Baraga, Michigan.

To be successful in this role you know how to run a manufacturing business, lead people well, and make smart things happen without waiting for a corporate playbook. This is a senior leadership role for someone who likes ownership. You will serve as the top operational leader and a key strategic partner to ownership, guiding daily operations, improving profitability, strengthening culture, and helping position the company for continued growth.

What We Offer:

$125,000 -- $160,000 annually based on education and experience.

Discretionary, performance-based bonus.

Medical, dental, and prescription drug insurance; life insurance.

401(k) retirement plan.

Paid time off.

Relocation assistance, if needed.

What You'll Do:

Lead day-to-day operations across production, supply chain, quality, equipment, people, and performance.

Own the P&L mindset, including cost control, resource planning, capital equipment decisions, and profitability improvement.

Build a practical, accountable, safety-first culture from the shop floor to leadership.

Mentor managers, develop future leaders, and help experienced team members and newer talent work well together.

Improve throughput, reduce waste, solve bottlenecks, and bring structure where it helps.

Support modernization, capacity planning, facility improvement, and potential acquisition integration.

Help maintain, secure, and grow defense-related work by supporting compliance, customer confidence, and operational readiness.

Stay close enough to the floor to understand what is really happening --- and strategic enough to help steer what comes next.

What We're Looking For:

Minimum of 5 years of progressive manufacturing leadership experience, such as Plant Manager, Director of Operations, VP of Manufacturing, or similar required.

Exposure to defense manufacturing or government supply chains, either as a prime contractor or a Tier 1/Tier 2 supplier is highly favored.

A Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Business Administration, Operations, or a related field is preferred; an MBA or advanced degree is a plus. Hands-on manufacturing leadership matters most.

Strong working knowledge of industrial equipment, fabrication, machining, production flow, quality systems, and manufacturing capacity.

Experience leading teams through growth, change, process improvement, or operational turnaround.

A practical understanding of Lean, Six Sigma, or similar continuous improvement methods.

Familiarity with compliance environments such as ITAR, EAR, ISO 9001:2015, NIST SP 800-171, or CMMC 2.0 is strongly preferred.

Strong financial and analytical judgment, especially around pricing, margins, capital investment, and operational performance.

Excellent communication skills with the ability to connect with machinists, welders, managers, owners, customers, and government buyers.

U.S. citizenship required, along with the ability to obtain a government security clearance, if required by future contractual obligations. Don't have clearance? No problem---we'll help you through the process.
