We are seeking an executive who will oversee North American production of Glice products and distribution to our customers from our central warehouse in Denver, Colorado. A passion for excellent customer service and success is essential for this position. There are two primary areas of responsibility in this role which are tightly integrated:

• Production Management and Quality Control

• Provider inventory reporting to Parent Company, Glice A.G.
• Oversee remote installation/removal of Glice products by field personnel.

The position will report directly to the CEO of Glice. Although there is an option for a virtual work location, our preference is to have this executive positioned in the Denver/Boulder CO area with proximity to our warehouse and U.S. office. The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience, with at least 3 years of relevant work history in these areas:

• Knowledge of manufacturing/fabrication processes and quality control measures

• Can train and manage product installers who may be customers or contractors

General capabilities must include excellent written and verbal communication skills and a proactive and entrepreneurial approach to management. Attention to detail and solid problem skills are essential. An engineering or production control background is ideal but not an absolute requirement. Team management skills are essential and Spanish language skills a plus. The position calls for a team-based approach to ensuring Glice customers have a great customer experience with excellent products, timely deliveries, and solid customer support that makes us the market leader.

Compensation is commensurate with experience and breadth of capabilities and will provide base compensation plus incentive bonuses tied to production and distribution targets the candidate achieves yearly. Glice is growing rapidly in North America and there are significant opportunities for the right candidate to expand their role and compensation with performance.
