Head of Production Systems
About Vessel
Vessel is building the future of housing. We combine breakthrough design, advanced manufacturing, and first-principles thinking to tackle one of the world’s most pressing challenges: creating sustainable, attainable housing for all. This isn’t just construction—it’s a complete reimagining of how people live.
Backed by Mosaic Ventures and Lennar, the nation’s largest homebuilder, Vessel is rapidly scaling to meet growing demand. We care deeply about every detail—from beauty and durability to efficiency and accessibility—because we believe everyone deserves a thoughtfully made home.
The Opportunity
Vessel is growing rapidly, and we are looking for a Head of Production Systems to design and build our end-to-end production operating system. This is a true builder role. You will not inherit a mature system, you will create one from the ground up. You will define how materials move, how work is planned and executed, and how the system scales across multiple locations. This role requires high ownership, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to drive change across the organization.
What You'll Do
- Design and implement end-to-end production systems, including planning, workflows, and operating rhythms
- Build and maintain visibility into production performance through KPIs, dashboards, and reporting
- Define and optimize material flow, sequencing, and downstream deployment
- Identify inefficiencies and improve throughput, labor efficiency, and operational reliability
- Evaluate and implement automation, tooling, and pre-processing solutions
- Drive supplier strategy and cost reduction initiatives aligned with production system design
- Partner cross-functionally with operations, sourcing, and leadership to align execution with system design
- Translate current operations into scalable, repeatable systems across locations
Who You Are
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience). MBA strongly preferred.
- 7–12+ years of experience in operations, logistics, manufacturing or production systems environments
- Have worked in high-growth startups with physical operations
and have stood up or scaled real-world systems (not just managed them) - Proven ownership of operational outcomes (throughput, cost, delivery reliability)
- Strong systems thinker with end-to-end workflow orientation
- High agency and execution mindset; moves quickly from concept to implementation
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building in incomplete environments
- Experience with planning systems (MRP/ERP or similar)
- Familiarity with operational metrics, performance tracking, and data-driven decision making
- Experience in high-growth or early-stage environments where systems had to be built, not maintained
Why Vessel
- Opportunity to shape and scale a modern multifamily development company
- Competitive compensation with performance bonus and equity options
- 401k & Health Plans (Medical, Dental, and Vision), including HSA/FSA options
- Life, AD&D, and Disability Insurance, plus Critical Illness and Accident Insurance
- Weekly lunches and team building events
- Adoption Assistance, Caregiver Support, and Financial Assistance through Employee Support Programs
- Commuter Benefits
At Vessel
We believe everyone deserves a home built with care—beautiful, durable, and made to last. That starts with the people who make it happen. Join us and help reimagine what housing can be.
