HeadofOperations

We are looking for a senior operations leader to run a large-scale, multi-shift CAD design center in Manila. This role owns the end-to-end performance of a 200+ person operation that runs across two shifts and processes high volumes of work daily for international customers. This is a production operations leadership role, not a CAD design or technical specialist position. Your mandate is to ensure flow, predictability, and operational discipline across the entire design center. Why This Role Exists Our design center operates as a high-volume production environment. Work arrives in batches, flows across two shifts, and must meet strict turnaround times. As we scale, informal management is no longer enough. This role exists to: Turn a complex, multi-shift operation into a calm, predictable system Eliminate handoff failures between shifts Make work-in-progress fully visible and measurable Ensure on-time delivery, quality, and throughput at scale Your internal customer is flow. When flow breaks, you own fixing it. What You’ll Be Responsible For You are the single owner of design center performance across both shifts. Operations Ownership Run a 200+ person operation across two shifts Own throughput, cycle time, and turnaround time Balance batch intake against real shift capacity Enforce WIP limits and prevent bottlenecks Ensure no work sits idle across shift handoffs Measurement & Visibility Audit and fix existing tracking and dashboards Define and track true work-in-progress from assignment to delivery Distinguish active vs parked work Build shift-level views that reflect reality, not just snapshots Shift Handoff & Discipline Design and enforce clear handoff protocols between shifts Track and reduce inter-shift idle time Prevent QC and rescan queues from cascading into delays Create repeatable, predictable operating days Leadership Lead team leads and shift supervisors Coach leaders to think in terms of flow and systems, not busyness Hold teams accountable to metrics,
