Her bouquet does not exist yet.
It gets handcrafted, stem by stem, by the team on our floor in Monterrey. Her wedding is on a Saturday. Saturday does not slip because we had a bad Tuesday.
That is the job. You run the floor that makes sure she gets it.
Manufacturing. That is the role. You run the production floor day to day with a team of 100 people.
Two very different flows share your floor, and keeping both alive at once is the actual craft of this job:
High-volume standard production. Our catalog SKUs. Predictable, measurable, and the place where every point of efficiency you win drops straight to the bottom line.
Custom wedding builds. Made-to-order bridal work, handcrafted against a fixed date, no second attempt. It is the most visible thing we make and the least forgiving.
Most production leaders can run one or the other. The person we hire can run both in the same building on the same day... without one quietly starving the other.
We are a 100-person company, not a 5,000-person plant. So here is the honest version.
Manufacturing is where you live. But some weeks, we need to quickly hire staff - and you'll be drawn into helping with a hiring push, a training program that does not exist yet, a supplier problem, or a packaging change that needs someone on the floor to actually test it.
We are not going to pretend that away. If "that is not my department" is a sentence you use, this will be a miserable job for you.
If you read that and thought good, that is how you actually learn a business, keep reading.
You are on the floor before the line starts, looking at yesterday's numbers and today's plan.
By 9am you know your two problems: one build station is behind on a wedding order shipping Thursday, and a standard SKU is short a component. You move labor, you flag the shortage, you protect the wedding date.
Mid-morning you are coaching a front-line lead through a conversation she is not comfortable having yet, because in a year she should be running a shift without you.
After lunch you pull ERP and WMS data and find the reason the last three late orders were late. It is not the people. It is a step in the process, and you kill it this week instead of writing a memo about it.
Before you leave, you know whether you hit today's output and ship targets. Not roughly. Exactly.
That is the rhythm. Floor, numbers, people, process. Every day.
We define your targets with you, in writing, before you start. No surprise scorecards six months in.
Culture fit is the number one thing we hire on. Skills are teachable. This is not.
We have a genuine will to win, and no work is beneath us. If the pallet needs moving and you are the one standing there, you move the pallet.
We do more with less, and we do it fast. Creativity beats budget here.
We run on data. The only real arguments we have are about how the data was collected and analyzed. Opinions do not win here. Numbers do.
We treat every problem as a chance to get better. Nobody gets punished for surfacing a bad number. People get in trouble for hiding one.
We run on EOS and Traction, with Scaling Up and OKRs as frameworks we borrow from.
What you need
Strongly preferred: experience in hand-assembly or made-to-order manufacturing. Furniture, decor, packaging, promotional goods, apparel, or maquila-style assembly all translate far better here than automated high-volume lines. DTC or eCommerce exposure is a plus, not a requirement.
An initial soft interview first. Then a long-form, live technical interview where we go deep on how you actually run a floor.
Average time to hire: 8 to 10 days. We move fast, and we will walk you through the long-term vision of this operation so you can decide if you want to build it.
Apply now and expect to hear back this week!
