The posting

THE ORGANIZATION

BC Green is a local, family-owned and operated cannabis producer, located in the beautiful Okanagan-Similkameen Valley of Princeton, BC. We have a strong passion for this evolving industry, and we take great pride in providing consumers with the best quality products on the market. Our founders and dedicated cultivation leaders represent a team of sophisticated cannabis enthusiasts. Together, we are deeply committed to unravelling the magic and untapped potential which these products have to offer.

THE OPPORTUNITY

BC Green is seeking an experienced Director of Manufacturing to join its senior leadership team in Princeton, British Columbia. Reporting to the President and Chief Operating Officer, the Director of Manufacturing is accountable for the performance, scalability, and operational integrity of BC Green’s manufacturing system, from the moment harvested cannabis leaves cultivation through to finished product ready for shipment. This role ensures that BC Green’s production operates as a single, integrated system that reliably converts high-quality flower into finished products at scale.

The Director of Manufacturing leads through the Senior Production Manager, sets operational strategy for the manufacturing system, and builds the systems, infrastructure, and leadership capability required to support BC Green’s goal of setting the global standard for clean, affordable cannabis.

This role is based on-site in Princeton, BC, and operates in an active manufacturing environment. Regular presence on the production floor is expected as a core part of how this role is performed.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Strategy, Planning, and Operational Delivery: Define and own BC Green’s manufacturing operating strategy, translating enterprise objectives into an integrated production plan that sets performance standards, improvement priorities, and investment requirements for the system. Own the annual manufacturing planning cycle, including capacity planning, labour planning, and capital investment planning, and hold accountability for delivery against the plan on a quarterly basis.
  • Performance Monitoring: Monitor manufacturing system performance across economics, product quality, grade preservation, infrastructure reliability, and safety, and intervene at the right level when performance deviates from target.
  • Cross-Functional Coordination: Coordinate manufacturing activities with Cultivation, Quality Assurance, Supply Chain, and Commercial teams to ensure handoffs are clean, quality is protected from harvest to shipping, and customer commitments are supported by reliable operational execution.
  • Continuous Improvement: Identify, scope, and lead operational and infrastructure improvement initiatives that strengthen the manufacturing system’s reliability, quality output, cost efficiency, and long-term scalability.
  • Safety and Compliance Leadership: Own the safety and regulatory compliance standard across production, ensuring workplace safety programs are active and embedded, Health Canada and GMP requirements are met, and the team understands and takes personal ownership of safe and compliant operations.
  • Leadership and Team Development: Lead the Senior Production Manager through coaching, delegation, clear expectations, and accountability for outcomes, ensuring production operates as a single manufacturing system rather than independent departments, and build leadership capability within the system so that it can execute consistently and independently without requiring founder-level intervention.

VALUE CONTRIBUTION

  • Do It Right: Sets and holds a non-negotiable quality, safety, and compliance standard across the manufacturing system, and builds a team culture where those standards are owned at every level rather than enforced from above.
  • Keep It Simple: Designs and continuously simplifies the manufacturing system, removing complexity that does not improve quality, cost, or reliability, and resists the addition of processes, formats, or structures that do not serve the business model.
  • Build Strength: Leaves the manufacturing system demonstrably stronger over time by developing leaders, reducing single points of failure, strengthening infrastructure, and building systems that perform consistently without depending on any one person.
  • Play the Long Game: Makes capital, people, and operational decisions that build durable manufacturing capability and protect BC Green’s long-term position in the accessible premium cannabis market, rather than optimizing for short-term output at the expense of system health.

Requirements

YOUR EXPERIENCE & EXPERTISE

Requirements

  • 10+ years of progressive manufacturing leadership experience, including experience leading through managers across multiple functions, setting clear expectations, holding direct reports accountable for system-level outcomes, and developing leadership capability below them.
  • Experience leading manufacturing, production, operations, inventory, supply chain, or related operational functions within a multi-function operation.
  • Proven ability to set operational strategy for an integrated manufacturing system, translate it into an annual operating plan, and be held accountable for delivery against that plan.
  • Understanding of manufacturing economics at an aggregate level, including cost per unit, labour productivity, throughput, grade preservation, and margin management.
  • Proven ability to improve throughput, productivity, cost efficiency, and operational performance within a manufacturing environment.
  • Demonstrated success implementing Lean Manufacturing, continuous improvement, operational transformation, production scaling, equipment commissioning, or operational modernization initiatives.
  • Experience owning capital planning, budget development, and material variance escalation at a senior level.
  • Experience designing, implementing, and tracking manufacturing performance measurement systems, including leading indicators and aggregate metrics, and acting on that data at both an operational and strategic level.
  • Experience owning preventative maintenance and asset reliability programs, including building measurement systems such as OEE frameworks or CMMS platforms from the ground up.
  • Experience leading workplace safety programs and embedding a proactive safety culture across a manufacturing operation, including ownership of regulatory compliance in a Health Canada or equivalent regulated environment.
  • Financial and business acumen, with the ability to resolve complex cross-functional problems, prioritize across competing operational demands, and communicate performance and priorities clearly and credibly to executive leadership.
  • Communication, leadership, and relationship-building skills, with high integrity, sound judgment, and operational leadership capability.

Strongly Preferred

  • Background operating within cannabis, food manufacturing, pharmaceutical, or other GMP-regulated manufacturing environments.
  • Proven success leading production scaling initiatives, equipment commissioning, or operational modernization efforts in a manufacturing context.
  • Line-of-sight accountability for production operations or plant engineering within a single mandate.
