Remove operational barriers and improve end-to-end flow
Support problem-solving across the value chain

Supply Chain & Risk Management

Support material availability and inventory optimisation
Identify and mitigate operational and supply risks impacting delivery

What we are looking for

Proven experience in operations or manufacturing leadership (typically 7+ years)
Experience leading teams in high-mix or engineered product environments
Strong understanding of operational KPIs across quality, delivery, and cost
Demonstrated success with lean, continuous improvement, or business system frameworks
A collaborative mindset with the ability to influence across functions
Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills

Experience in precision engineering, electronics, or electromechanical manufacturing would be highly advantageous.

Why join Novanta?

Work on technologies that make a real impact on people’s lives
Be part of a global, innovative organisation at the forefront of advanced manufacturing
Lead meaningful change in an environment that values continuous improvement and ideas
Collaborate with talented teams across engineering, operations, and commercial functions
Opportunity for career growth across international markets
