Operations Manager - VTS

Leybold Vacuum USA Inc. • Export, PA • 2h ago

Functional Area:Service

Location:United States (Pennsylvania)

City:Export, PA

On-site/remote:Hybride

Brand:Leybold

Company Name:Leybold USA Inc

Date of Posting:May 15, 2026

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.

Key Responsibilities

Field Service Operations

Establish structured scheduling, dispatch, and planning processes

Define and track KPIs including response time, utilization, firsttime fix rate, and customer satisfaction

Optimize resources across geographies and equipment ranges

Standardize operational reporting and performance measurement

Champion digital tools to improve visibility and execution

Technical Support (Temporary Scope)

Provide leadership continuity during organizational transition

Support the development of a standalone Technical Support structure

Ensure uninterrupted service to customers

What Success Looks Like

First 60-90 Days

Deliver a comprehensive operational assessment and prioritized action plan

Establish baseline KPIs across all functions

Identify the top 3-5 drivers of operational and financial inefficiency

Present a 12month transformation roadmap to leadership

Ongoing

Monthovermonth KPI improvement across all service operations

Reduced reactive incidents, late invoicing, and operational inconsistency

Clear, datadriven investment and staffing decisions

Improved customer satisfaction through consistent execution

A culture built on planning, process, and accountability-not urgency

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
