## Job description

Area Manufacturing Manager – Battery Pack Assembly

Location: Jeffersonville, IN (Remote to start, then On-site)

## About Sustainable Talent

At Sustainable Talent, we build high-performing teams that match our clients' goals and values. We are partnering with a leading global automotive manufacturer to staff a brand-new battery pack assembly plant in Jeffersonville, Indiana. This is a rare chance to help build a greenfield operation from the ground up.

The Opportunity

As Area Manufacturing Manager, you will lead a battery pack assembly area at a greenfield site. You will build the people, processes and culture that make a new plant succeed. You will set and deliver performance goals, apply Lean Manufacturing principles, and use manufacturing execution systems (MES) and real-time data to improve operations. In partnership with other Area Managers and cross-functional teams, the Area Manager supports the standardized rollout and continuous improvements of Key Unifying Processes (KUP), represents the plant during launch, and develops employees and leaders through visible, inclusive leadership.

The role will start remotely, with the expectation that the candidate will later transition to onsite work in Jeffersonville, Indiana. During construction, you may attend onsite meetings or work from a temporary onsite office.

## What You'll Do

- Develop and deliver key performance indicators (KPIs) aligned with department and business objectives
- Lead continuous improvement, Lean Manufacturing and change efforts, and set and achieve manufacturing standards
- Use MES, real-time data and modern manufacturing systems to find bottlenecks and put lasting fixes in place
- Serve as a subject matter expert on the plant's standard operating processes, and partner with other Area Managers on consistent plant-wide rollout
- Lead, motivate and align diverse, multicultural teams; remove barriers and build employees' skills
- Spend regular time on the production floor, applying Gemba principles to listen, understand challenges and solve problems
- Build a culture grounded in the plant's vision, mission and values, with an emphasis on learning, communication and performance
- Develop leaders as teachers, and make sure employees get the training, coaching and support they need to grow
- Represent the plant during launch, communicate launch status, and request support resources based on operational priorities

## What You'll Bring

- Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering or a related field
- 5+ years of manufacturing, engineering or operations experience in leadership roles
- A track record of attracting, developing and retaining high-performing, results-oriented teams
- Ability to communicate complex operational concepts to all levels from shop-floor employees to executive stakeholders.
- Strong business acumen, project management skills and financial literacy, including understanding of P&L
- An emotionally intelligent, collaborative leadership style that builds trust and cross-functional relationships
- Ability to lead through complexity and ambiguity, and align people from varied backgrounds around shared goals
- Flexibility to work standard, operating and rotational schedules, including days, nights, weekends and holidays
- Ability to travel domestically and internationally as required

## Nice to Have

- Master's degree
- 5+ years of battery manufacturing experience
- Experience succeeding amid high complexity, competing priorities, ambiguity and conflict

## Compensation & Benefits

The salary range for this position is $141,700 – $268,300. This position includes a comprehensive benefits package. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

## Equal Opportunity

Sustainable Talent is a M/F+, disabled, and veteran equal employment opportunity and affirmative action employer.

## About Sustainable Talent

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Sustainable Talent designs and operates enterprise-grade contractor workforce programs for Fortune 500 and high-growth companies, combining operational expertise with its proprietary TalentOS platform.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Bootstrapped/Backed by partners; no disclosed funding round)
- **Headquarters**: Miami, Florida, United States
- **Founded**: 2016
- **Founders**: Stephanie Rodis (CEO & Founder)

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Workforce Infrastructure, Business Consulting & Services, HR Technology
- Target customers: Enterprise procurement, global operations leaders, and high-growth organizations (B2B). Client roster includes Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Ford, Uber, and MongoDB.
- Mission or purpose statement: “Contractor programs have become fragmented… Specialized talent deserves operational discipline and structured support. Organizations should not choose between velocity and governance.”

## Products & Services
- **Contractor Program Management (Service)**: End-to-end ownership of contractor lifecycle—sourcing, W2 employment, global compliance, onboarding, payroll, and program oversight. Operates across 150+ countries.
- **Legal & Technical Specialists (Service)**: Vetted network of elite contractors deployed in AI, cloud, security, product, and engineering roles at top-tier clients.
- **TalentOS (SaaS/Platform)**: A real-time command center providing structured visibility into contractor performance, compliance status, and global workforce footprint for leadership, procurement, HR, and finance.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (private, bootstrapped)
- **Key Metric**: 100% contractor compliance across global programs; 100% year-over-year enterprise client retention; 98.5% client satisfaction score; 4.8/5 Glassdoor rating (32 reviews)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Backed by ADP TotalSource and Deel; trusted by Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Ford, Uber, MongoDB.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew +57.1% year-over-year to 15 employees; 32,000+ LinkedIn followers (+12.7% YoY); enterprise clients across 150+ countries; expansion of TalentOS platform.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Differentiated operating model**: Not a transactional staffing firm—they build and run structured contractor programs with dedicated “operators,” not just software or agencies.
- **Governance-first approach**: 100% compliance and audit-ready controls across compliance, finance, and risk; “tools are not the operating model.”
- **Top-tier client validation**: Proven at scale with some of the world’s most demanding companies (Nvidia, Ford, Uber, MongoDB, Microsoft, Amazon).
- **TalentOS platform**: Combines automation (EOR/PEO integrations with Deel, ADP, BambooHR, Greenhouse) with human accountability for a unique one-view leadership dashboard.

## Strategic Focus
- Scaling the “operating standard” for global contractor programs, bridging the gap between velocity and governance.
- Deepening AI, autonomous vehicles, and cloud engineering talent pipelines (evidenced by current job postings for AI safety engineers, ML engineers, and autonomous vehicle test engineers).
- Expanding TalentOS as a standalone governance and visibility tool for procurement and finance leaders.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as “operational discipline over shortcuts,” “ownership and accountability,” “mutual respect for consultants and clients.” Employees rate culture 4.7/5 on Glassdoor.
- **Work environment**: Global remote-friendly with roles in Santa Clara, San Francisco, Boston, Austin, London, and remote; contractor network operates flexibly. Office hub in Miami, FL.
- **Notable perks**: Contractors are treated as “long-term partners” with structured onboarding, dedicated operational support, and transparent expectations. Internal team is lean and high-impact—only ~15 core employees serving a massive client base.
- **Who thrives there**: “Operators who value structure, ownership, and impact”; not for those seeking transactional staffing work.
