Operations Program Manager

An Operations Program Manager (OPM) at Lunar Energy will be responsible for ensuring factory readiness across multiple different categories for development builds and mass production.  Such categories may include labor preparation, material flow to the lines, and line bring up.  Collaborating with internal teams and external partners, an OPM will work closely with the contract manufacturer to get a factory ready to support Lunar’s builds and help manage those operations once the builds have commenced.  We are looking for people who are passionate about a more sustainable future and want to make that vision a reality. An ideal candidate is someone excited to collaborate with a diverse and dedicated team.
