PRODUCTION & SITE DIRECTOR - Color Cosmetics Manufacturing

Production Director

An international cosmetics group is establishing a new industrial site, dedicated to bulk color cosmetics manufacturing (foundations, emulsions, color bases).

The site (~40–45 employees) is entering its ramp‑up phase.

???? This role is about running production — not managing from a distance.

???? Your role

You will be directly responsible for:

• Leading day‑to‑day bulk production operations
• Being present on the shopfloor , solving issues in real time
• Managing process variability (viscosity, dispersion, batch consistency)
• Building and structuring the production team from scratch
• Implementing Lean routines and performance discipline
• Driving the industrial ramp‑up

???? This is a hands‑on operational leadership role , not a coordination or reporting position.

⚠️ What this role is NOT

• Not a corporate / strategic‑only position
• Not a fully structured environment with established processes
• Not a large‑site director role with multiple layers of management

???? You will need to build structure, fix problems and deliver results yourself.

???? Required expertise

• Strong experience in bulk color cosmetics manufacturing
• Deep understanding of:
• Texture / viscosity control
• Batch reproducibility
• Proven track record in production management on the shopfloor

❗ Profiles without direct color cosmetics bulk experience will not be considered.

???? Profile

• 8–15 years experience
• Production‑driven background (not purely managerial)
• Hands‑on, pragmatic, execution‑focused
• Comfortable working in imperfect / evolving environments
• Able to take decisions and move things forward quickly

???? Languages

• Operational English required

???? Evolution

• Potential to grow toward broader site leadership
• Possible exposure to European operations over time

???? Evolution is not automatic — it depends on performance.

???? Package

???? Why this role

• Real operational ownership
• Build a team and a production site
