Sola Wood Flowers is hiring a Factory Manager to scale production in India.
A bit about us: we're trying to change what artificial flowers can be. Our wooden flowers are affordable, eco-friendly, and already show up in more than 6% of American weddings every year.
This is a hands-on role based in Kolkata. You'll own day-to-day production across our Indian operations: output, quality, labor management, and continuous improvement. That means hitting volume and lead-time targets, developing your supervisors, sorting out bottlenecks as they happen, and steadily improving throughput and unit economics as we grow.
What we're looking for:
Real experience running manufacturing or production operations. Comfort managing large teams in handcrafted, labor-intensive settings. A data-driven habit when it comes to tracking and improving KPIs. And a genuine fit with how we work, which is the part we care about most.
So how do we work?
We have a real will to win, and no task is beneath any of us if it moves us forward. We move quickly, do more with less, and let the data settle most arguments.
We run on EOS/Traction, so if you've used Scaling Up or OKRs you'll feel at home (and if you haven't, it's worth a quick read). This isn't a quiet 9-to-5, and we're upfront about that.
On hiring: we'll define your KPIs together at the start, so you're never guessing whether you're doing well. The process is a short intro conversation, then a longer technical interview focused on production operations. We usually go from first interview to decision in about 8 to 10 days!
