Overseeing all aspects of the Cherrywood Fabrics general operations, retail studio, and hand-dyed fabrics manufacturing, the Director of Production & Operations is a strategic thinker who keeps the day to day activities of the business running smoothly, efficiently, and professionally.
The position combines project management, production planning, inventory management, organization, office management, and communications functions.
Cherrywood Fabrics is seeking a highly motivated individual who will help build the success of the team as they grow wholesale and retail sales, promote the art of quilt making, and maintain a position as an innovator in the quilting industry.
The Director of Production & Operations need not have familiarity with the quilting industry and is not required to have quilting or sewing experience.
However, interest in the product and the ability to work with highly creative individuals is a must.
This person should be an enthusiastic learner who is able to see the big picture to help us organize and evolve both manufacturing/production, as well as day-to-day business operational systems.
The ideal candidate has a broad range of skills: the ability to manage people, ease in switching between various tasks, natural organization skills, a willingness to learn new things, problem-solving skills, a warm, friendly demeanor, and flexibility to meet the many different daily demands of the job.
Rigid thinkers, people lacking internal motivation and confidence, who hesitate to communicate openly or to build strong working relationships need not apply.
