Aufgaben

• Own the programme baseline: schedule, cost, scope, work-package structure and critical path across all phases

• Act as deltaVision's primary interface to consortium partners, coordinating cross‑organisation dependencies, interfaces and deliverables
• Manage the customer and authority relationship for your programme, including reviews, milestone acceptance and contractual deliverables
• Lead internal programme execution across the contributing domains (systems engineering, hardware, and test), keeping teams aligned to plan
• Own subcontractor and supplier management within the programme scope: statements of work, NDAs, negotiation, monitoring and delivery
• Drive preparation and defence of programme reviews (SRR/PDR/CDR-class) and lead the associated documentation and data‑package readiness
• Flag strategic dependencies and resource conflicts early, across programme and company priorities
• Ensure compliance with ECSS project‑management, configuration and quality requirements
