Integration & Operational Excellence Manager

High-Potential Growth Role | Executive-in-Training Track

JM Test Systems

Are you the kind of person who sees complexity and immediately starts building structure?

JM Test Systems is growing through acquisitions and new site expansion, and we are looking for a high-ownership Integration & Operational Excellence Manager to help us scale the right way.

This is not a maintenance role.
This is not a “keep the spreadsheet updated” role.

This is a high-visibility growth role designed for someone ready to step into broader Operations leadership.

You do not need formal M&A integration experience.
What matters most is your ability to create structure, influence leaders, and drive execution across multiple locations — while guiding teams through important new chapters in their journey.

For the right individual, this role serves as a proving ground for future executive leadership within JM Test Systems.

What You’ll Own:

Lead Integrations & New Site Launches:

• Build and execute integration plans aligning people, processes, systems, and assets
• Partner with site leaders to ensure smooth transitions with minimal operational disruption
• Help newly acquired teams navigate change with clarity, stability, and direction
• Create repeatable integration playbooks, templates, and operating cadences

Work With Teams Through New Chapters:

• Serve as a trusted partner to new teams as they transition into JM
• Build credibility quickly with frontline technicians and local leadership
• Drive alignment without diminishing what made those teams successful
• Provide structure during periods of uncertainty and change

Drive Operational Excellence Across Our Network:

• Standardize best practices and strengthen SOP execution
• Identify gaps, reduce inefficiencies, and implement scalable improvements
• Apply Lean / continuous improvement principles across multiple locations

Support Systems Migration & Adoption:

• Help lead ERP, calibration management, inventory, and financial system rollouts
• Coordinate training, readiness, and adoption efforts
• Ensure transitions protect customer commitments and frontline productivity

Make Performance Measurable:

• Define and track KPIs tied to safety, quality, efficiency, and service delivery
• Build visibility dashboards and operating rhythms
• Translate operational insights into clear executive-level updates

What We’re Looking For

Proven ability to lead complex projects and drive execution across teams and locations. This role requires strong people skills and emotional intelligence. You must be able to:

• Influence leaders who do not report to you
• Build trust quickly with new teams
• Navigate resistance and ambiguity professionally
• Communicate the “why” behind change
• Hold accountability respectfully but firmly

Highly valued:

• PMP certification
• MBA or business-focused graduate degree
• Lean / Continuous Improvement experience
• Systems implementation experience (ERP, operations tools, inventory platforms)
• Industrial services, manufacturing, field operations, or quality-driven environments
• Must be comfortable traveling 50–75%, including short notice.

Why Join JM Test Systems?

At JM Test Systems, we don’t just provide calibration and testing services — we ensure equipment works when it matters most.

This role offers:

• High visibility with executive leadership
• Multi-site operational exposure
• Direct impact on company growth strategy
• Ownership to build scalable standards
• The opportunity to work alongside new teams during transformative growth
• A pathway into broader Operations leadership
