• Partner with production teams to identify and resolve quality issues
• Support root cause analysis and corrective actions
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and process enhancements
• Provide guidance and support to less experienced team members as needed

As a Group Lead, you'll also:

Function as a working lead, balancing job responsibilities with team coordination
• Lead/support daily production execution and workflow coordination 
• Acts as a primary escalation point for quality issues
• Operate with high ownership of process performance (no formal people management authority)

What We’re Looking For
