Operations Development & Optimization Lead

Company Description

Baramouda for Sustainable Solutions is a leading agritech company specializing in recycling organic waste and transforming it into sustainable agricultural inputs. Through innovation and environmental responsibility, Baramouda develops eco-friendly fertilizers and agricultural solutions that enhance soil health, boost productivity, and promote a circular economy in agriculture across Egypt and beyond.

Job Purpose:

The Operations Development & Optimization Lead is responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing Baramouda’s operational systems to support scalable growth. The role focuses on improving process efficiency, reducing cost per ton, eliminating operational bottlenecks, and building robust systems that enable sustainable expansion across production lines and facilities.

This role is not a traditional operations management position, but a transformation-focused role aimed at building and optimizing operations for growth.

Job Duties and Responsibilities :

Operations Development & Optimization

  • Design and optimize end-to-end operational processes, from waste collection to final product output.
  • Analyze current workflows to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and cost drivers.
  • Redesign process flows to improve productivity, throughput, and yield.
  • Lead initiatives to reduce cost per ton and improve operational margins.

Production & Factory Optimization

  • Support factory operations during scaling phases and act as interim operational lead when required.
  • Optimize production line layouts, equipment utilization, and manpower allocation.
  • Improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), reduce downtime, and minimize waste.
  • Ensure production processes are aligned with safety, quality, and environmental standards.

Systems, SOPs & KPIs

  • Develop and document SOPs for all critical operational processes.
  • Establish operational KPIs (cost/ton, throughput, yield, downtime, efficiency).
  • Build dashboards and reporting systems to support data-driven decision-making.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with R&D, Supply Chain, Quality, and Business Development teams to ensure operational readiness for new products.
  • Support scale-up of new products from pilot to commercial production.

Continuous Improvement & Scaling

  • Lead continuous improvement initiatives using Lean, Six Sigma, or similar methodologies.
  • Prepare operational models for future expansion, new facilities, or additional production lines.
  • Support leadership in strategic decisions related to operations and capital investments.

Required Qualifications :

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, or a related field.
  • 7+ years of experience in operations development, process optimization, or industrial operations.
  • Hands-on experience in manufacturing, agribusiness, waste management, or process industries.
  • Proven experience in scaling operations or optimizing production systems.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven mindset.
  • Ability to redesign systems and processes, not just manage existing ones.
  • Solid understanding of production planning, cost analysis, and operational KPIs.
  • Experience with Lean Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement, or Operational Excellence frameworks.
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to work on the factory floor and at the strategic level.
  • Excellent communication skills in both Arabic and English.

Work Location

Baramouda’s main production facility in 6th of October City, with availability and flexibility to travel to other operational sites inside and outside Egypt as required.

Why Join Baramouda?
