Job Description
At KIK Consumer Products, we make the trusted cleaning and pool care products that safeguard homes and families. Join a performance-driven, collaborative culture where accountability, agility, and ethics guide everything we do.
A Day in This RoleAt 6:00 am, you step onto the filling floor and rally a team of Leads and approximately 25 production associates. You align priorities, confirm materials, and walk the lines to ensure inspection-ready conditions. Throughout the day, you balance people, equipment, and schedule demands to hit output goals while protecting safety, quality, and cost. You remove roadblocks fast, communicate cross-functionally, and close the shift with airtight documentation so orders ship on time. Your regular schedule runs Monday–Friday, 6:00 am–4:30 pm, with overtime as needed.

- Optimize labor plans and staffing based on demand, attendance, and schedule changes.
- Drive continuous improvement using Lean methods to reduce downtime, enhance reliability, and lower conversion costs.
- Oversee precise documentation: work orders, labor reporting, timecards, in-process quality checks, and daily performance tracking.
- Advance team capability through training, safety programs, coaching, and corrective action in line with company policy.
- High school diploma or GED (required).
- 5+ years in manufacturing, with 3+ years leading teams (strongly preferred).
- Proven success driving results in a fast-paced production setting with a strong safety and quality focus.
- Working knowledge of QMS (document control, deviations, CAPA, audit readiness).
- Hands-on leader who coaches, develops, and holds teams to a high bar while fostering a positive culture.
- Expertise in GMP, safety programs, and 6S/Lean; experience leading safety training and tracking compliance.
- Track record improving efficiency and reducing downtime through continuous improvement.
- Calm, fair conflict resolution and change leadership skills.
- Clear communicator who builds partnerships across Production, QA, Supply Chain, Maintenance, and HR.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and production reporting systems.
- Background with high-speed automated equipment; bottle filling machinery experience strongly preferred.
Base salary: $75,000–$85,000 plus eligibility for an annual incentive bonus. Actual pay depends on skills and experience.
Comprehensive benefits: health, wellness, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance; retirement savings with employer match; and Education Assistance to support ongoing growth.
