President

Job description

Based in Danbury, Connecticut for more than 60 years, PMC-STS Inc. (formerly PMC Engineering LLC) designs and manufactures high-performance precision sensor products for pressure, level and temperature measurement. The company serves demanding industrial and technical markets including Aerospace, Water, Oil & Gas, Paper, Motor-Sport and other specialized applications. PMC-STS is recognized for product quality, technical competence and close customer relationships.

PMC-STS is part of the STS Group, headquartered near Zurich, Switzerland. STS develops advanced pressure measurement technologies and gives PMC-STS access to a broader international technology, engineering and manufacturing platform. The combination creates a strong basis for further expansion of the North American business.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an ambitious, accomplished, entrepreneurial and hands-on President to lead PMC-STS and its approximately 40 employees. The President has broad responsibility for the US business and reports directly to the Group CEO in Switzerland.

The President leads a management team of approximately 5-6 direct reports covering the principal business functions. In selected areas, team leaders provide an additional level of operational leadership. The PMC-STS management team also works with STS Group functional leaders through dotted-line relationships to align global programs, systems and platforms. A local Board supports the President with North American market intelligence and networking; it is advisory and not an additional reporting line.

Role mission: profitably grow PMC-STS in North America while strengthening its operational capabilities, preserving its strong US market identity, and leveraging the technology and resources of the wider STS Group.

Key Responsibilities

Business & Financial Leadership

Own the financial and operational performance of PMC-STS, including revenue, profitability, cash generation and working capital.

Lead the annual planning, budgeting and forecasting process and use clear KPIs to drive performance and accountability.

Allocate resources and capital with a strong focus on return, margin improvement and sustainable growth.

Commercial Growth & Customers

Develop and execute the North American growth strategy in alignment with the STS Group strategy.

Identify and prioritize attractive market segments, applications and customers; increase market share, brand recognition and profitable organic growth.

Maintain close relationships with key customers and ensure the right balance between customer responsiveness, technical customization and profitable business.

Operations & Execution

Oversee the local organization through the management team and team leaders, including Finance, Operations, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, IT, Quality, supply chain/procurement and facilities.

Strengthen operational disciplines and best practices in demand generation, funnel management, lean manufacturing, planning, quality, safety and data-driven decision-making.

Lead the continued integration of PMC-STS into STS systems and processes, with ERP (MS F&O) implementation as a key enabler of efficiency and transparency.

People & Organization

Lead, develop and hold accountable a high-performing management team while maintaining an engaged, pragmatic and customer-oriented culture.

Strengthen organizational capabilities, clarify responsibilities and decision rights, and develop key talent and succession within the business.

Ensure effective communication across functions and create a culture that combines accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement.

Ensure PMC-STS presents the right US market image and value proposition to customers, partners and the industries it serves.

Support customer-specific product development and application engineering while leveraging STS Group technology platforms.

Contribute strategic input on new technologies, adjacent markets and, where appropriate, complementary acquisition opportunities.

Group Integration & Governance

Work closely with the Group CEO and global functional leaders while retaining appropriate local speed, accountability and market orientation.

Preserve and strengthen PMC-STS's US identity while effectively leveraging the engineering discipline, resources and long-term orientation of its Swiss/European parent group.

Ensure appropriate compliance, risk management and governance for the US business.

Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a technically credible, commercially minded general manager who is comfortable operating close to customers, products and operations. The role suits a leader who can move easily between strategy and hands-on execution in a medium-sized industrial business.

Engineering or other relevant technical degree, preferably in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics or a closely related field.

Demonstrated general-management and business acumen, including responsibility for P&L performance, budgeting, forecasting and operational decision-making.

A strong track record in industrial B2B businesses, ideally involving engineered or customer-specific products, niche applications and moderate production volumes.

Commercial strength developed through roles such as product management, sales management, strategic marketing, business development or general management, combined with a sound understanding of manufacturing and operational processes.

Experience with pressure transducers, silicon or ceramic sensing technology is highly desirable; strong experience with other sensor technologies or technical measurement products will also be considered.

Ability to build profitable business models around customer-specific solutions, balancing technical requirements, service levels, production efficiency and margin.

Strong people leadership: able to set clear expectations, develop managers and team leaders, make decisions and create accountability while building trust, create followership, and maintain empathy and strong interpersonal skills.

Comfortable using financial, commercial and operational data and KPIs to identify issues, prioritize actions and track results.

Strategic curiosity and the ability to contribute beyond the current business boundaries, including new markets, technologies, partnerships and selected acquisition opportunities.

Cultural awareness and experience working across US and European organizations. The successful candidate will understand the importance of preserving PMC-STS's US customer orientation and local speed and accountability while working effectively within a Swiss/European group environment.

What We Offer

A genuine President / General Manager mandate with broad responsibility for the US business and direct access to the Group CEO.

The opportunity to materially shape and grow an established US industrial technology company while benefiting from the resources and technology platform of an international group.

Meaningful autonomy, short decision paths and the ability to make a visible impact across commercial, operational and organizational priorities.

A stable, privately owned and long-term-oriented company environment.

An experienced, multi-disciplinary team with deep product and customer knowledge.

A competitive compensation package including Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance, Life Insurance and 401(k) with company match.
