Job Description

Job DescriptionLead Production Excellence at KIK Consumer Products

We build trusted brands that help families keep their homes and pools clean, sanitized, and protected. Join a team that values accountability, collaboration, and agility—and delivers with integrity.

A Day in the Role

At 4:00 PM, the lines ramp up and you're at the helm. You brief operators, confirm priorities with the Production Manager, and set clear expectations for safety, quality, and throughput. As the shift unfolds, you remove roadblocks, balance staffing, and drive output to hit schedule commitments. You monitor counts, speeds, and variances in real time, trigger work notifications, and coordinate with maintenance, quality, and materials to keep production moving. When issues arise, you apply Lean/Six Sigma problem-solving, coach the team, and close the loop with corrective actions. By 4:00 AM, you've documented performance, communicated results, and teed up a smooth handoff.
