Job Description
## Manufacturing Optimization Manager
**Department:** Project Management (Manufacturing) | **Industry:** Manufacturing
**Location:** Chandigarh | **Job Type:** Full-time (WFH) | **CTC:** INR 11.9-23.4 LPA
### Role Overview
We are looking to onboard a Manufacturing Optimization Manager to strengthen our Project Management (Manufacturing) function within Manufacturing. The role is positioned at the mid level and reports into the broader Project Management (Manufacturing) charter.
### Key Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end delivery of tasks related to project management (manufacturing).
- Apply working knowledge of Shop Floor Management and Project Management (Manufacturing) to daily execution.
- Coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders within Manufacturing.
- Maintain documentation and reporting as required by the team lead.
- Flag risks and blockers early rather than at review checkpoints.
### Requirements
- Diploma (Production Engineering) or equivalent qualification.
- 4 years of relevant experience (mid level).
- Working proficiency in: Shop Floor Management, Project Management (Manufacturing), Production Planning, Root Cause Analysis, Quality Assurance/Quality Control.
### Additional Notes
Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable. Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls. Work culture here leans collaborative, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions and an open-door policy for raising concerns. Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role. Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay. Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone. Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process. The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings. In addition to fixed pay, the role carries eligibility for annual appraisals and merit-based increments. Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction. Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week. The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage. No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions. Mornings are usually spent on planning and status reviews, while the rest of the day is given over to hands-on delivery and problem-solving. Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability. The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager. Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role. Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band. Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy.
