About the Company

This opportunity is with a high-growth, private equity–backed precision manufacturing platform serving leading MedTech and industrial customers. The business operates globally with manufacturing sites in the U.S. and Europe. Approximately 75% of revenue is derived from MedTech, and the company is scaling rapidly through a combination of organic initiatives and an active acquisition strategy.

With strong profitability, no debt, and multiple acquisitions currently under LOI, the company is investing in operational leadership to support the next phase of growth and ensure scalable performance across its manufacturing footprint.

The Opportunity

The Senior Manager of Value Creation is a newly created role designed to help drive operational performance, integration execution, and strategic initiatives across the U.S. manufacturing platform. Reporting to the GM of U.S. Operations, this leader will work closely with plant leadership and executive management to implement operational improvements, support post-acquisition integration efforts, and build the infrastructure needed to scale the platform effectively.

The role combines hands-on operational improvement within manufacturing environments with broader value creation initiatives tied to performance improvement and platform expansion. Key initiatives include manufacturing throughput optimization, cycle time analysis, cost modeling, operational KPI development, ERP and planning system integration, and supporting the integration of newly acquired businesses.

This position is well suited for someone who enjoys working directly within manufacturing environments while also contributing to broader operational and strategic initiatives within a growing private equity–backed platform.

• Assist with integrating production planning, scheduling, and operational reporting capabilities.

• Partner with leadership to stabilize operations, align processes, and implement operational best practices post-acquisition.
• Assist in identifying synergy opportunities and operational improvement initiatives across acquired companies.
• Contribute to cross-platform initiatives designed to improve operational scalability and consistency.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 5–8+ years of experience in consulting, operations, manufacturing engineering, operational strategy, or private equity value creation roles.
• Meaningful exposure to manufacturing environments, including operational improvement initiatives or shop-floor engagement.
• Experience with lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, or Kaizen-style operational methodologies.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to evaluate manufacturing data, cycle times, and operational performance metrics.
• Exposure to cost modeling, operational finance, or cost accounting within manufacturing environments.
• Familiarity with ERP systems or manufacturing planning tools is a plus.
• Experience supporting integrations, operational transformations, or value creation initiatives in a PE-backed environment is preferred.
