The role

What if your next step was to manage a plant that is part of an international project?

Can you imagine managing an operation where success is built together and where your leadership has the backing of a headquarters with decades of industrial experience and long-term vision? Working side by side with teams from other countries, learning from them, and contributing what only you know: your market, your culture, your people? What if your next challenge was not managing a plant, but leading a shared project?

At MONDRAGON, we are looking for the person who wants to lead one of our plants abroad for one of our cooperatives.

What you'll do

You will be part of the business committee and will lead the entire plant team to achieve the objectives of the Management Plan and the Strategic Plan. You will work side by side with the headquarters to ensure sustainable profitability and growth.

What you will do

Plan, direct, and supervise all plant activity: results, indicators, and strategic projects.

Define and implement, together with the headquarters, sustainable growth strategies.

Lead and develop people: motivate, delegate, provide feedback, and foster teamwork.

Drive continuous improvement and innovation, also embracing lessons learned when results are not as expected.

Manage assigned customers and suppliers, in coordination with the headquarters.

Build a network of high-level relationships in the country, acting as an ambassador for the cooperative.

Guarantee a culture of rigor in quality, environment, and occupational risk prevention.
