A manufacturer is seeking an Operations Analyst Manager to help plant leadership understand where performance is slipping, what’s driving the change, and where to focus improvement efforts.

What you’ll do

• Analyze production performance, labor efficiency, yield, waste, downtime, and operating costs.
• Build and maintain reports that give plant leaders a clear view of performance against targets.
• Investigate variances with operations and finance to identify what changed and why.
• Help leaders prioritize improvement projects and track whether those changes deliver results.
• Present findings in plain language so teams can act on them.

What we’re looking for

• Experience in operations analytics, manufacturing finance, plant performance, or a related role.
• Ability to work with manufacturing data and connect operational changes to cost and performance.
• Strong Excel and reporting skills.
• Comfort working directly with plant and finance leaders and explaining findings to both groups.
