Job Description

At RiteScreen, we’re not just manufacturing screens—we’re shaping a culture built on safety, quality, and continuous improvement. We’re seeking a Value Stream Manager who thrives where the work happens: on the production floor. This role is designed for a leader who is visible, hands-on, and fully engaged with their team—driving results, solving problems, and building momentum in real time.

What You’ll Do

Lead from the Floor

Spend most of your day with your team on the production floor, actively observing and engaging.
Model safe work practices, coach employees, and foster accountability.
Conduct daily Gemba walks to uncover challenges, provide support, and recognize team achievements.

Drive Continuous Improvement

Champion Lean practices and a culture of problem-solving.
Lead Kaizen events and use visual management tools to track and communicate progress.
Identify and eliminate waste, increase efficiency, and strengthen product quality.

Manage Operations & Labor

Oversee daily production schedules and staffing to meet delivery commitments.
Monitor KPIs—safety, quality, productivity, and cost—and act decisively when performance slips.
Partner with HR and recruiting to maintain staffing levels and address performance or attendance issues.

Develop and Support Your Team

Provide consistent coaching, feedback, and development opportunities.
Encourage cross-training, collaboration, and continuous learning.
Recognize achievement while addressing underperformance constructively.

Champion Safety and Compliance

Promote a proactive safety culture through audits, training, and daily reinforcement.
Ensure compliance with company standards, policies, and procedures.

What We’re Looking For
3–5 years of leadership experience in manufacturing (Lean/CI experience strongly preferred).
A proven record of leading from the floor, balancing people engagement with process focus.
Strong problem-solving and organizational skills, with the ability to make data-driven decisions.
Experience managing KPIs and using metrics to improve performance.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint).
A results-driven leader who thrives in fast-paced, hands-on environments.
Why Join RiteScreen?
Competitive pay and performance incentives.
Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, and vision insurance.
401(k) with company match.
Paid time off and holidays.
Career growth and leadership development opportunities.
A safety-first culture where your leadership has a direct impact.

If you’re ready to lead from the floor—driving performance, building strong teams, and shaping a culture of excellence—we’d love to hear from you.
Apply today and take the lead at RiteScreen.
