Scan your resume against ATS criteria for this Factory Manager - India role at Sola Wood Flowers.
Sola Wood Flowers is hiring a Factory Manager to run and scale our production floor in Kolkata.
This Saturday, a bride you will never meet walks down an aisle holding a bouquet your floor built by hand. It cannot be late. It cannot be wrong. Monday is her honeymoon, not your reship window. That is the job.
We make better flowers for less: affordable, eco-friendly wooden flowers that now show up in more than 6% of American weddings every year. Everything is handcrafted, and India is a growing part of how we make it. We are building a modernized, vertically integrated platform north of $100M across DTC, owned retail, and wholesale.
If you want to run a factory from a cabin with reports, this is not it. This is a floor job. You will spend your day on the line, next to your supervisors, while the problem is still happening. If you are looking for a stress-free 9-to-5, we are upfront: this isn't.
- Run day-to-day production across our Kolkata operation: output, quality, labor management, and continuous improvement.
- Hit volume and lead-time targets. Protect on-time delivery on every wedding order. Fixed date. No do-over.
- Develop your supervisors. The best thing you can leave behind is a floor that runs without you.
- Spot the bottleneck before it costs a ship day.
- Live lean and kaizen. Cut waste. Steadily improve throughput and unit economics as we grow.
- Real experience running manufacturing or production operations, ideally in handcrafted, labor-intensive settings.
- Comfort managing large teams.
- A data-driven habit with KPIs. Excel/Sheets fluency will come up in the interview.
- Fluent English, written and spoken.
- On-site daily in Kolkata.
- Able to provide references.
You build the operation. You do not warm a seat. Smart people, low drama, real ownership. You win when we win, and we back that with a clearly defined compensation philosophy, not a title.
A short intro conversation, then a longer technical interview focused on production operations, because we will not waste your time or ours on a mishire. We set your KPIs and targets together, up front, so you never have to guess whether you are doing well. We run on EOS/Traction (Scaling Up and OKRs adjacent). Average time from first interview to decision: about 8 to 10 days.
Apply now - we read every application :)
