About the role

Hitachi Automotive Systems Americas, Inc. seeks a Director of Operations in South Boston, Virginia to oversee production and assembly lines, ensure alignment with production plans, and drive performance across value streams. You will supervise maintenance, material flow, and team development, with a focus on safety, quality, and efficiency. The role requires strong leadership and strategic execution in a manufacturing environment.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
