Operations Manager, Honest Origins

The Operations Manager is a hands-on manufacturing leader responsible for safe, reliable, and efficient day-to-day operations at Honest Origins, a food manufacturing operation producing cooked instant rice. During the initial phase of this role, the Operations Manager will also provide operational leadership for a significant facility construction and expansion project, including equipment installation, commissioning, start-up, and transition to stable production. The position requires plant-level leadership capability and is intended to build the breadth and readiness needed to assume broader Plant Management responsibilities as business needs evolve.

This leader will direct production priorities; support maintenance, quality, sanitation, warehousing, and shipping activities; manage operating performance; and build an employee-owner culture grounded in safety, food quality, accountability, continuous improvement, teamwork, and customer service. The Operations Manager partners closely with Engineering, Quality/Food Safety, Maintenance, Supply Chain, Finance, Human Resources, and external contractors to deliver both current operating results and successful expansion outcomes.
