Bingo !! VP OF MANUFACTURING??? What the heck do they actually "manufacture" that has a business operations unit large enough to need a Veep level position?
How many 100's of thousands of sq-ft of "manufacturing" floor space is involved, how many $10's if not $100's of millions in "manufacturing" does this business unit presently do, etc?? A Veep for what?
This IMO, is a "supervisor" level position at best at this point- or would typically just be rolled up under the responsibility of someone already in the company- say a tech/engineering person with a strong quality background.
Veep at this point = MONEY PIT IMO. Just more passing out the perks n goodies to the old boy's club. I'd love to see the numbers on dollars "manufactured" annually, the floor space size, clean room size and clean room levels, how much automation they're using or not, how complex their process control is for "manufacturing" (as is in how many steps, how much real time process control, size of quality control portion, etc) regulatory issues with their "manufacturing space", employee head count dedicated to "manufacturing" etc.
I just can't see how this is a highly paid Veep spot at this point? Makes ZERO sense IMO. None.
