Job description

Program Manager (From Manufacturing Industry & Non-Technical)

Industry: Electronics/ EV / Mobility / Automotive / Consumer Tech

Experience: 8+ Years in Program or Project Management (Non-Technical)

Overview

We’re looking for a hands-on Program Manager to lead and deliver complex, high-impact programs across strategy, execution, cost, and cross-functional alignment. This is a factory-based, on-ground position — not only a desk job. The ideal candidate must be comfortable working in a plant/factory environment, handling issues in real time, and coordinating with on-site teams. This is not a technical program management role; it requires manufacturing context and the ability to drive production or execution across cross-functional teams.

Note: This is not a technical PM role — the position is on-site at Hosur facility; remote or hybrid options are not available.

What You’ll Drive

• Own day-to-day execution of strategic programs with full ownership on delivery
• Act as a single point of contact for internal and customer-facing escalations
• Coordinate across teams — Product, SCM, Quality, Finance, Sourcing, Engineering
• Track program KPIs — delivery timelines, cost, vendor metrics, and risk mitigation
• Lead readiness for product rollouts, launches, and issue resolution at the ground level
• Support vendor and partner alignment on SLAs, deliverables, and execution

What You Bring

• 8+ years of experience in program/project management (preferably in EV, automotive, e-commerce, or consumer tech)
• Strong cross-functional leadership and stakeholder management
• Proven experience in cost control, escalations, and execution oversight
• Hands-on experience solving problems in on-ground operations
• Comfortable working with CXO stakeholders and dynamic teams
• Familiarity with Excel trackers, project tools, and dashboards
• MBA or equivalent degree preferred

Important Notes for Applicants – Please Read Before Applying

Your current role should involve working as a Program Manager with direct, hands-on experience in end-to-end execution within fast-paced environments — including cross-functional delivery, cost management, and handling customer level escalations.

This is not a technical program management role — candidates with a purely software/IT background will not be considered.

This role is on-site at our Hosur facility and requires full-time presence in a plant/factory environment. Remote or hybrid options are not available.

You must have hands-on experience driving end-to-end execution in fast-paced environments — this is not a purely coordination or back-office role.

Prior experience handling customer or CXO-level escalations, cost management, and cross-functional delivery (Product, Quality, SCM, Finance, etc.) is critical.

We're looking for strong program leadership — not general operations, manufacturing, or MEP/engineering profiles.
