About the role

Lightera in Norcross, GA seeks a General Manager to lead its flagship 24/7 fiber manufacturing operation. You will oversee manufacturing, engineering, quality, materials, EH&S, HR, and continuous improvement, while driving safety, efficiency, and long-term growth. You will build and coach a tenured leadership team, manage major capital initiatives, partner with engineering to deploy advanced processes, and ensure alignment across production and technical teams in a union 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.
