Director, Operations Site Activation

Director, Operations Site Activation The Mission Blue Origin is building something new from the ground up — a high-growth, greenfield program targeting full-rate production by the end of this decade, with a hard schedule and a large capital program behind it. This isn't a role that maintains what exists. It builds what doesn't. As Director, Operations Site Activation, you will own the full journey: site planning, building delivery, capital equipment procurement, installation, and commissioning — through to the moment each production area is ready to run. The end state is a site ready to staff, qualify, and run a production system. When this role is done, it evolves: as the facility transitions from activation into steady-state production, we expect you to grow into the site leader role. This is a build-it role. It comes with real accountability and real stakes. The person who succeeds here has stood in a greenfield with a construction schedule, a machine list, and a production date — and has closed the gap between them before. This role reports to the Senior Director, Operations and partners closely with Facilities and Real Estate, Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Environmental Health and Safety, Finance, and Program leadership. What You'll Own Site Planning and Build

• Own the site and facility plan, integrating Value Stream layouts and material flow with utility and infrastructure requirements and the growth path to full rate
• Translate the production system into building requirements early enough to influence design rather than inherit it
• Partner with Real Estate, Facilities, and Legal through site selection, lease or purchase, permitting, and construction contracting
• Manage architects, engineers, general contractors, and trades against scope, schedule, and cost
