The Head of Industrial Operations will report directly to the Chief Operations Officer (COO), will act as her strategic right hand and operational partner across all four sites. The mission will be twofold: drive the industrial transformation of existing sites while supporting the integration of the new facility — and over time, take on increasing team management responsibilities.
