Operations Improvement Specialist
Company Description
Be the Spark Behind Suterra’s Next Big Leap Forward
Are you ready to go beyond the ordinary and help transform how a global leader in sustainable agriculture operates? At Suterra, we are revolutionizing crop protection through science, innovation, and a shared mission to protect our food supply — and we’re looking for a bold, curious, and hands-on problem solver to help us do it better, faster, and smarter.
As our Operations Improvement Specialist, you’ll become a key player in identifying, leading, and embedding impactful change across our manufacturing and operations teams. This isn’t a desk job — you’ll work side by side with engineers, operators, and the Suterra leadership team to identify high-priority improvement targets and drive them to completion. Whether you’re leading a LEAN project, standing up a new process, or digging into forecasting and training systems, you’ll be driving measurable results in a dynamic, cross-functional environment.
The Operations Improvement Specialist has a development trajectory that will lead to a variety of different senior operating roles at Suterra. The role will have a senior Suterra leader acting as a Development Sponsor to provide support and mentoring on this career track.
Join a team that’s agile, creative, and deeply committed to building a better future — one process at a time.
In addition to a competitive salary, we provide an exceptional benefits package, including:
- Comprehensive health insurance (with employer-paid coverage options)
- Generous paid time off and holidays
- 401(k) with company match
- Wellness and employee assistance programs
- Professional development opportunities
Job Description
What You’ll Do

- Create and document sustainable processes, training tools, and handoff materials to embed long-term success

What You Bring

- 3+ years of experience in operations, manufacturing, quality, or engineering environments
- Proven ability to lead projects, develop processes, and influence change
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, that translate well across multi-functional teams and multiple levels within an organization
