We are seeking a highly driven Manufacturing Manager to act as the "business owner" for a massive, cross-functional production unit. In this highly autonomous role, you will lead a large-scale department of 200+ employees, overseeing both raw material machining and final sub-unit assembly.
This is not a behind-the-desk, "email-only" leadership role. We need a leader who is highly visible on the production floor, but strategic enough to manage a large P&Ls, drive labor force allocation, lead continuous improvement planning, and interface directly with our Tier 1 customers.
You will have the freedom and autonomy to run your department, set your continuous improvement (Kaizen) vision, and build a world-class manufacturing team. If you thrive in a fast-paced automotive environment and want the true keys to a business unit, this is the role for you.

Laborup is the #1 AI powered talent platform for America’s industrial workforce. We use AI to create jobs, not take them away. We help HR and plant leaders hire and keep the skilled workers who keep plants running: machinists, welders, maintenance techs, operators, industrial electricians, and engineers. USA Today called us the “LinkedIn for blue collar workers,” and Forbes profiled our work in “How AI Is Solving America’s 1 Trillion Dollar Manufacturing Labor Crisis.”
Today we work with manufacturers from 50 person shops to large public companies with tens of thousands of employees, and the story is the same everywhere. It is hard to find talent, hard to keep good people, and staffing costs keep rising. In a market where filling critical industrial roles can take months and turnover is constant, Laborup helps teams move qualified workers from first contact to on site interview in days instead of weeks and keep them on the floor longer.
Most of the workers our customers need are not on LinkedIn or the usual job boards. Laborup uses AI to find this hidden workforce, call and text them, screen and qualify them, build real profiles, and match them directly to the plants and roles where they can succeed. For workers, that means real, permanent roles at serious manufacturers, not one off gigs. For companies, it is durable infrastructure for hiring and retention at scale in a labor market that will stay tight for years.
We work across nuclear, defense, and advanced manufacturing, as well as sectors like aerospace, automotive, and food production. Teams that use Laborup hire 5 to 10 times faster, see around 3 times better retention, and cut cost per hire by up to 50 to 70 percent. That turns into fewer empty shifts, fewer missed orders, more stable teams, and more capacity without more headache.
We are building the modern talent system for America’s industrial base with a simple long term goal: put a billion industrial workers to work in good jobs that matter.
