SkyWater is partnering with an established manufacturing organization in the north metro to hire a Warehouse Supervisor. Following a consolidation of multiple facilities into one operation, the company is focused on strengthening its processes, developing its workforce, and improving overall efficiency.
This position will lead approximately 8–12 employees across shipping, receiving, inventory control, and warehouse operations. The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader who enjoys working directly with employees, solving problems, and helping build a stronger team.
We are partnering with a privately held organization that is experiencing significant growth and continuing to invest in its people, technology, and financial infrastructure. With an established recurring-revenue business model and expanding operations, the company is entering an exciting phase that creates an opportunity for an accounting professional to make a meaningful impact.
This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong, hands-on accounting leader who is ready to take the next step in their career. Reporting directly to the CFO, the Director of Accounting will have significant ownership of the accounting function, visibility across the business, and the ability to influence how financial processes and reporting capabilities evolve.
Unlike opportunities within larger, more layered organizations, this position offers direct access to executive leadership, the autonomy to drive improvements, and the opportunity to help build a scalable accounting function.
The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys both the technical and operational sides of accounting, takes initiative, and is excited about the opportunity to grow into broader controllership responsibilities as the business continues to expand.

SkyWater has partnered with a technology company in the Twin Cities hiring a Data and Analytics Architect to own its enterprise data architecture. This is a full-time, permanent role, onsite four days a week, reporting to a technology leader.
The company is modernizing its data platform and wants one person to set the direction: how data is modeled, how business domains hand data to each other, and how analytics, reporting, and AI work get built on top. You will guide distributed and offshore delivery teams, so the job is as much about standards and judgment as it is about design.
Non-negotiables
Hands-on Medallion architecture experience
8+ years designing enterprise-scale data platforms
Strong data modeling and governance background in a regulated environment
Why it is worth a look: this is an architecture seat with real influence on data strategy, not a maintenance role. Base is $175,000 to $215,000, plus bonus and equity.

We have partnered with Europa Eyewear to identify a talented Brand Manager to lead the consumer marketing efforts for two of its most distinctive brands: eyebobs and American Optical.
Founded in 1977, Europa Eyewear is one of the largest independent designers and manufacturers of premium eyewear in the United States. Family-built and proudly independent, the company has grown into a portfolio of more than a dozen distinctive eyewear brands sold through independent eye care professionals nationwide, as well as direct-to-consumer channels.
With manufacturing rooted in Chicago and a deep commitment to supporting independent eye care professionals, Europa brings together a collection of brands with unique histories, personalities, and consumer audiences.
Location: Chicago, IL or Minneapolis, MN | Hybrid, with regular travel to Minneapolis and occasional travel for photoshoots and industry events Reports to: Vice President of Marketing Experience: 6–8+ years of consumer brand marketing experience
The Opportunity
Europa is looking for a Brand Manager to lead the consumer brand strategy and marketing efforts for two very different, but equally compelling, eyewear brands: eyebobs and American Optical.
Think of them as two sides of the same category, each with a very distinct point of view.
eyebobs is bold, irreverent, and unapologetically individual. Known for premium readers with personality, the brand has built a following among consumers who aren’t afraid to stand out. It’s playful, confident, and has never been one to take itself too seriously.
American Optical is an American original. With a heritage dating back to 1833, the brand has a rich manufacturing history and an iconic place in American eyewear culture. Its frames have been worn by pilots, astronauts, and presidents, giving it an authenticity and legacy that few brands can claim.
This is an opportunity for someone who appreciates the nuances of brand building and understands that one marketing playbook doesn’t work for everyone.
You’ll own the brand strategy for both businesses, translating each brand’s identity into meaningful consumer experiences across digital, social, PR, partnerships, retail, and wholesale channels. You’ll also lead campaign development, creative direction, and photoshoots from initial concept through execution.
This is a hands-on role for a marketer who loves both the strategic and creative sides of brand building — someone who can develop the big-picture vision but also roll up their sleeves and bring it to life.
What You’ll Be Doing
Brand Strategy & Development
Own and evolve the brand positioning, identity, voice, and consumer strategy for both eyebobs and American Optical.
Translate brand strategy into actionable guidelines, messaging frameworks, and seasonal creative platforms.
Leverage consumer insights, competitive intelligence, and brand performance data to identify opportunities and strengthen each brand’s position in the marketplace.
Partner with Product Development to bring the brand story into product collections, naming, packaging, and assortment strategy.
Integrated Marketing & Channel Partnerships
Partner with DTC, Amazon, wholesale, and retail teams to ensure a cohesive and differentiated brand experience across every consumer touchpoint.
Translate brand strategy into channel-specific marketing initiatives across ecommerce, Amazon, independent eye care professionals, and retail environments.
Develop marketing assets, messaging, and creative toolkits that support sales and channel partners.
Maintain brand consistency and integrity while supporting growth across multiple channels.
PR, Social & Brand Partnerships
Lead organic marketing efforts for both brands, including PR, influencer and brand partnerships, and organic social media.
Identify opportunities to build brand awareness through meaningful collaborations, media placements, creator relationships, and cultural partnerships.
Develop social content strategies, editorial calendars, and community engagement initiatives that reflect each brand’s unique personality.
Track earned and organic performance metrics, using insights to continually refine the approach.
Creative Campaigns & Content Production
Lead campaign development from initial consumer insight and creative brief through execution and launch.
Partner closely with creative teams on campaign concepts, photoshoots, casting, locations, shot lists, and on-set direction.
Build a thoughtful content capture strategy that creates a library of assets to support ongoing marketing efforts.
Manage campaign budgets, timelines, and cross-functional partnerships, evaluating performance and identifying opportunities to improve future campaigns.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a well-rounded consumer brand marketer who brings a combination of strategic thinking, creative sensibility, and hands-on execution.
Ideally, you’ll bring:
6–8+ years of brand marketing experience, ideally with consumer-facing brands.
Experience owning brand strategy, positioning, and integrated campaign development.
A strong creative eye and experience leading photoshoots and content production in partnership with creative teams.
Hands-on experience across organic social, PR, influencer marketing, and brand partnerships.
Experience marketing across multiple channels, such as DTC, ecommerce, Amazon, wholesale, and/or retail.
The ability to use consumer insights, brand health, and performance data to inform marketing decisions.
Excellent writing and storytelling skills, with the ability to establish and maintain distinct brand voices.
The ideal candidate:
Experience in eyewear, fashion, accessories, apparel, or another design-driven consumer category.
Experience working with both emerging/challenger brands and established heritage brands.
Familiarity with Amazon brand content, including A+ content and Brand Stores.
Experience managing external creative, PR, influencer, or production agency partners.
