Manufacturing Operations Coordinator - Monterrey
A wedding order placed on a Sunday night becomes wood shavings, dye baths, glue, and a ship date on our Monterrey floor by Monday morning. Somebody has to make that handoff clean. That somebody is this role.
Sola Wood Flowers handcrafts wedding flowers and home decor from sola wood. Our Monterrey facility (about 100 people) runs two flows at once: high-volume catalog SKUs and made-to-order bridal builds against fixed wedding dates. We are hiring a Manufacturing Operations Coordinator to be the connective tissue of that floor - the person who turns plans, orders, and data into a day that actually runs on time.
What you will own
- Daily and weekly production scheduling: translating orders into station-level plans for both standard and custom work
- Material and component availability - spotting the shortage on Monday that would have killed Thursday's ship date
- ERP/WMS data hygiene: orders, BOMs, inventory counts, and ship confirmations that people can trust
- The numbers: output vs. plan, on-time ship rate, first-pass quality, and labor hours per unit, reported daily without being chased
- Coordination between production, fulfillment, purchasing, and the US team - in English, every day
Who thrives here
You like being the person who knows what is actually happening. You walk the floor constantly, but you are also genuinely good in spreadsheets. You would rather fix the process than write a memo about the problem.
We run on data. The honest version: people get in trouble here for hiding bad numbers, never for surfacing them. We run EOS / Traction with OKRs, we do more with less, and no task is beneath anyone - if the pallet needs moving, we move the pallet.
What you need
- 1-3+ years in production planning, manufacturing coordination, inventory, or fulfillment operations
- Real fluency in Excel or Google Sheets: pivot tables, XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, cleaning messy data without help
- Hands-on experience with an ERP or WMS (any major one)
- Fluent spoken and written English for daily work with the US team. Firm requirement.
- On-site daily in Monterrey (Finsa Guadalupe)
- References we can call
Strongly preferred: experience in hand-assembly, made-to-order, or labor-intensive manufacturing - furniture, decor, packaging, apparel, promo goods, or maquila-style operations.
Do not apply if you want a pure desk job with no floor time, or a big-company role where every system is already built. Here you help build the systems.
What you get
- A role at the center of the operation with visibility into everything
- A defined path toward Production Manager or Operations Manager as we scale
- Targets agreed in writing before you start, and a transparent compensation philosophy
- A front-row seat as a 100-person company grows toward $100M
