Through the integration of additive manufacturing, the company aims to meet the growing and urgent needs for unmanned aerial defense by dramatically improving a jet engine’s speed to market, fuel efficiency, and cost.\nFounded in 2020, the company is headquartered in Centennial, Colorado, with additional facilities in Knoxville, Tennessee, Loveland Ohio, and Mount Vernon, Ohio. Beehive is committed to grow and advance the defense industrial base while manufacturing exclusively in the USA. This role will be located at our Cincinnati, Ohio facility.\nRole Overview\nThe OSS Lead is a key leadership role within the Production Control organization responsible for driving execution of the production plan and ensuring material, work orders, priorities, and operational support are aligned to meet manufacturing commitments.\nThis role leads the Operations Support Services (OSS) team and serves as a critical link between Production Control, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, and other supporting functions. The OSS Lead is responsible for identifying and resolving constraints that threaten production flow, establishing clear priorities, driving recovery actions, and ensuring the factory has the information and support required to execute the schedule.\nThe successful candidate will be a highly engaged operations leader who combines strong production-control discipline with a hands-on understanding of aerospace manufacturing. This individual must be comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment, managing competing priorities, escalating risks, and driving issues to closure.\nWhatYou’llDo...\nLead the OSS organization supporting day-to-day execution of the manufacturing production plan.\nTranslate the master production schedule and Production Control priorities into clear, executable actions for the OSS team and manufacturing organization.\nMaintain visibility to production status, schedule attainment, shortages, work-in-process (WIP), constraints, and recovery requirements.\nPartner closely with Production Control leadership to identify schedule risks and establish priorities based on customer commitments, production requirements, and overall factory needs.\nDrive resolution of material shortages, work-order constraints, documentation issues, nonconforming material impacts, and other barriers affecting production flow.\nCoordinate cross-functional recovery activities with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, Planning, and other support organizations.\nEstablish daily operating rhythms for reviewing production status, constraints, priorities, and corrective actions.\nEnsure critical production issues have clear ownership, actions, due dates, and escalation paths.\nMonitor aging WIP and stalled work orders and drive actions necessary to restore production flow.\nSupport shortage management and material allocation decisions to maximize schedule attainment and minimize disruption to critical production requirements.\nIdentify systemic causes of production disruption and partner with appropriate functions to implement sustainable corrective actions.\nDevelop and maintain standard work, visual management, and performance metrics for the OSS organization.\nUse ERP/MRP and manufacturing execution data to identify risks, prioritize work, and support fact-based operational decisions.\nProvide clear and timely communication to Production Control and Operations leadership regarding schedule risk, recovery status, and significant production constraints.\nSupport production recovery plans, surge activities, schedule changes, and other high-priority manufacturing initiatives.\nLead, develop, and coach OSS team members, establishing clear expectations for accountability, responsiveness, communication, and execution.\nDrive continuous improvement initiatives focused on reducing production interruptions, improving material availability, reducing WIP aging, and increasing schedule predictability.\nEnsure activities are performed in accordance with applicable aerospace quality requirements, company procedures, safety requirements, and regulatory obligations.\nKey Performance Indicators\nPerformance may be measured through a combination of:\nProduction schedule attainment and on-time completion\nWork-order and WIP aging\nMaterial shortage reduction and shortage recovery\nNumber and duration of production holds or stalled jobs\nConstraint response and resolution time\nPast-due production requirements\nManufacturing throughput and flow\nRecovery-plan execution\nInventory and WIP accuracy\nEscalation effectiveness and action closure\nContinuous improvement results\nYou have...\nEducation\nBachelor’s degree required (Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, Operations, or related field preferred)\nExperience\n5+ years of experience in manufacturing, production support, supply chain, operations, or related field \nBachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations Management, Engineering, Business, Manufacturing, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.\nRelevant experience in production control, manufacturing operations, materials management, supply chain, planning, or a related manufacturing function.\nPrevious experience leading teams in a complex manufacturing environment.\nDemonstrated experience managing production priorities, material constraints, WIP, work orders, and schedule recovery.\nWorking knowledge of ERP/MRP systems and production planning concepts.\nStrong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and decision-making skills.\nDemonstrated ability to lead cross-functional issue resolution and influence organizations outside of direct reporting relationships.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills.\nAbility to operate effectively in a dynamic manufacturing environment with changing priorities and customer requirements.\nSkills & Competencies\nStrong organizational skills and attention to detail \nBasic analytical and problem-solving abilities \nStrong communication skills with ability to work across multiple teams \nAbility to follow structured processes and support production priorities \nComfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment \nBasic proficiency in Microsoft Excel (data entry, simple reporting, basic formulas) \nStrong sense of urgency and willingness to learn on the job \nAbility to work collaboratively with supervisors, technicians, engineers, and support functions \nInterest in manufacturing operations, production planning, or supply chain coordination\nThe ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance\nNice to have...\nExperience within aerospace, defense, aviation, or another highly regulated manufacturing environment.\nKnowledge of aerospace manufacturing processes, configuration control, traceability, and quality requirements.\nExperience with ERP/MRP and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), such as SAP, Oracle, Epicor, or similar platforms.\nExperience with Lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, root-cause analysis, and structured problem-solving methodologies.\nExperience developing production-control dashboards, KPIs, and visual management systems.\nDemonstrated experience leading production recovery or schedule-improvement initiatives.\nAPICS/ASCM certification, Lean/Six Sigma certification, or related professional certification is beneficial.\nIf this sounds like you, please submit an application with your resume.
