    Job description

    Production Team Lead - Handcrafted Manufacturing (Monterrey)

    Somewhere in the US right now, a bride is counting days. Her flowers are made by hand - one stem at a time - on our production floor in Monterrey. Her wedding date does not move. Neither does ours.

    We make sola wood flowers: every petal shaped, dyed, and assembled by a person, not a machine. Our Monterrey operation is about 100 people across two flows - repeatable catalog production and one-of-a-kind custom wedding builds. We are growing fast, and we need a Team Lead who can hold quality and pace on a hand-assembly line while developing the people on it.

    The job, honestly

    You lead a team on the floor. You are the person who makes today's number happen: setting up the shift, balancing the line, unblocking stations, checking first-pass quality, and keeping wedding-dated orders protected no matter what else goes wrong that day.

    You also build people. In a year, the best people on your team should be running shifts without you - that is how we measure you, and how you grow here.

    We are a 100-person company, not a giant plant. Some weeks that means you help test a packaging change, onboard a hiring class, or chase a supplier issue. If "not my department" is in your vocabulary, you will hate it here. If you want to learn how a whole business runs, you will love it.

    How we work

    • Data wins arguments. Opinions do not. We track output, quality, and cost per unit daily.
    • No work is beneath anyone. If the pallet needs moving, we move the pallet.
    • Problems are treasure. Surface a bad number and you get help fixing it; hide one and we have a real problem.
    • We run on EOS / Traction with OKRs, and your targets are written down with you before you start.

    What you need

    • 2+ years leading a team in manufacturing, hand-assembly, kitting, packaging, or fulfillment
    • Hands-on experience with line balancing, hourly boards, 5S, kaizen, or similar - done it, not just studied it
    • Fluent English, spoken and written - you will be on daily calls with the US team. This one is firm.
    • Working comfort in ERP/WMS systems and Excel or Google Sheets
    • On-site daily in Monterrey (Finsa Guadalupe)
    • References you are happy for us to call

    Strongly preferred: made-to-order or handcrafted production (decor, furniture, apparel, promotional goods, maquila assembly). DTC/eCommerce exposure is a plus.

    What you get

    • A team you own and a visible path to Supervisor and beyond
    • Pre-defined targets and a transparent compensation philosophy
    • Direct exposure to company leadership in a business scaling toward $100M
    • No politics, no busywork, no decks nobody reads

    How hiring works

    Short intro interview, then a practical deep-dive on how you lead a line. We hire in 8 to 10 days on average. Apply now - you will hear back this week.
