The Role
Manufacturing Advantage is a growing organization looking for an Operations Director to add to our Hillsboro, OR team. A temporary Operations Director role that values ownership over busywork, pays $170,000 - $234,000, and invests in your long-term growth.
Key Responsibilities

- Partner sideways with teams who rarely sit in the same room
- Partner with peers to troubleshoot issues and share practical knowledge
- Absorb 12 of context fast and start contributing sooner
What You'll Bring
- The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve

- Written communication clear enough to survive a forwarded email chain
- A Hillsboro grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly
