  • Oversee capacity planning, resource allocation, and operational forecasting to support business growth and strategic priorities.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives using Lean, Six Sigma, or similar methodologies to reduce waste, streamline processes, and enhance customer experience.


Compliance & Risk Management

  • Ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements, industry standards, and internal policies across all operational functions.
  • Lead internal audits, compliance reviews, and corrective action plans to address gaps and strengthen governance.
  • Monitor regulatory changes and proactively update policies, training, and operational practices to maintain compliance readiness.
  • Manage risk assessments, incident investigations, and root‑cause analysis to prevent recurrence and improve organizational resilience.


Cross‑Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with Legal, HR, Finance, and Quality teams to align operational practices with corporate governance frameworks.
  • Support new product launches, system implementations, and organizational initiatives by ensuring operational and compliance requirements are met.
  • Lead cross‑functional committees or working groups focused on compliance, safety, quality, or operational transformation.


Team Leadership & Development

  • Manage and mentor a team of operations and compliance professionals, fostering a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement.
  • Build training programs to strengthen compliance awareness, operational capability, and process discipline across the organization.
  • Set clear performance expectations and develop talent pipelines for future leadership roles.


What you should bring:

  • 7–10+ years of progressive experience in operations, compliance, quality, or risk management.
  • Experience in regulated industries (CPG, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, financial services, etc.) is an asset.
  • Strong understanding of regulatory frameworks, audit processes, and operational governance.
  • Proven ability to lead cross‑functional teams and manage complex, multi‑site operations.
  • Expertise in process improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen).
  • Exceptional analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Operations, Compliance, Engineering, or related field; advanced degree or professional certification (PMP, Lean Six Sigma, CRMP, CCO) is an asset.
