Profile

Warby Parker is on the hunt for a data-driven, experienced team leader to lead the way for the launch of our second in-house optical manufacturing facility, located in Las Vegas, NV. Working off the success of our first in-house optical lab, this role will play an instrumental role in facility build-out and production ramp-up as well as running the facility in a steady state. This person will be tasked with building a world-class team of core management and production associates, and overseeing day-to-day lab operations in a fast-paced, rapidly growing environment. If you take your work seriously (but not yourself!), you may be just the person we’re looking for.

What you’ll do:

Oversee the ramp-up of lab operations, adherence to service levels, and hiring and development of staff (including the management of 100 individuals)

Liaise between Warby Parker HQ and lab facility, consulting on operating procedures, product quality, and the introduction of new products in the market (to name a few!)

Motivate employees to achieve and exceed financial and production targets

Ensure equipment is properly maintained and achieving target efficiencies

Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders and manage both bandwidth of personal responsibilities and team's roles

Who you are:

Has 10 years of hands-on facility operations management in a made-to-assemble production environment

Experienced with managing production budgets and/or facility P&L reports

A naturally resourceful people manager, specifically with background leading a large team of manufacturing associates

A positive team leader (and exceptional team player!) who can quickly build respect within their team and across stakeholder groups

Equipped with strong communication skills

Understanding of the technical, regulatory, commercial, operational, and logistics implications of managing day-to-day service providers

Not on the Office of Inspector General’s List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE)

Extra credit:

Project management prowess, having led high-visibility projects from start to finish with measurable results, clearly communicating with stakeholders along the way

Significant experience managing an optical lab manufacturing operation including finishing and surfacing

Proud owner of a Lean Six Sigma Certification

Our ability to offer glasses, contacts, eye exams, and other vision services is critical to everyday life, and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve been committed to providing a safe working and shopping experience for our employees and customers.

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
