Site General Manager, Manufacturing Operations

The opportunity

Movora is the largest veterinary orthopedic company in the world, with products that support companion animals through the entire surgical patient journey, from diagnosis to healing. We serve more than 6,000 customers in over 50 markets.

We’re looking for a General Manager to lead Norfolk Medical Products in Skokie IL. Norfolk Medical Products recently became part of Movora, and you’ll be the person who owns how the location runs day to day. That covers manufacturing, supply chain, quality, customer service, and site operations.

You’ll work side by side with Norfolk Medical Products President, who leads strategy, product direction, and key customer and distributor relationships. Together, you’ll grow the business, shape the product roadmap, and find new opportunities. You’ll report into Movora senior management and have the support of our group teams in finance, quality, supply chain, and systems.

Your first year is a structured transition with clear quarterly milestones. The focus is learning and documenting how the business works today, keeping operations steady, and bringing the site into Movora’s reporting and systems.

What you’ll do

• Lead manufacturing, production planning, and supply chain, including capacity, scheduling, inventory, and supplier relationships, so we deliver on time and on budget.
• Own quality, regulatory, health, safety, and environmental compliance, including the Quality Management System, audits, and any regulatory follow up.
• Get to know our products, customers, and how they’re used clinically, and work with the President on the product roadmap and new business opportunities.
• Partner with the President on commercial performance by leading customer service and order to cash, supporting pricing and key accounts, and managing customer and distributor agreements.
• Lead, hire, and develop a strong team that’s accountable and aligned with Movora’s leadership and values.
• Build and manage the annual budget, run finance operations during the transition, and help move them into Movora’s central finance team.
• Oversee facilities, IT, and HR administration at first, and work with our central teams on how and when to bring those together.
• Help wind down a smaller product line, making sure customers, regulatory requirements, inventory, and people are handled with care.
• Manage clinical consultant and royalty agreements.
• Lead the transition year by capturing and documenting the knowledge that keeps the business running.
