ABOUT THE JOB

As the Head of Programs & Directory for Warfighter Systems, you will own end-to-end contractual and operational execution for our most critical, high-visibility soldier system development programs (including Soldier-Borne Mission Command / heads-up tactical systems). You will serve as the single, authoritative point of contact for our Department of War (DoW) and U.S. Army customer leadership, establishing the trust and operational cadence required to navigate complex stakeholder landscapes. Internally, you will orchestrate a multi-disciplinary matrix across Hardware Engineering, Software, Cyber, Test & Evaluation, Advanced Manufacturing, and Supply Chain. Externally, your mission is to lead high-stakes prototype contracts with strict schedule, scope, and budget rigor-outperforming competing industry vendors to win full-rate production awards. This role demands a technical, high-tempo program executive who combines disciplined defense program governance with the urgency, agility, and bias for action of a high-growth technology company.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Single-Point Customer Leadership: Serve as the primary, authoritative program executive interfacing with Government leadership (Program Executive Offices, APMs, and operational end-users). Lead critical weekly and bi-weekly executive program syncs, risk reviews, and milestone reviews while proactively managing customer sentiment and expectation baselines
• Contractual Execution & Down-Select Dominance: Lead large, complex, multi-million-dollar development programs from prototype execution through operational testing, with the strategic objective of winning down-select competitions across industry vendors to secure long-term production contracts
• Scope & Change Control: Diplomatically and rigorously manage contract scope boundaries with Government stakeholders. Protect engineering bandwidth by preventing scope creep, evaluating schedule/cost impacts of change requests, and ensuring no technical commitments are made without formal concurrence
• Rigorous Schedule Management: Own the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) across all workstreams (HW, SW, Firmware, Cyber, Manufacturing, Testing, and Logistics). Drive critical path analysis, schedule risk assessments, and maintain schedules aligned with rigorous defense standards (e.g., DCMA 14-point quality compliance)
• Comprehensive Financial & Budgetary Governance: Partner closely with Finance and Operations to manage program P&L, CapEx, Headcount (FTE/Non-FTE), and IRAD allocations. Maintain monthly forecast-vs-actuals, track financial risks/opportunities, and ensure the program hits committed gross margin, revenue, and ACV targets
• Cross-Functional Orchestration: Lead with high conviction across internal stakeholders-holding Product Management, TPMs, Hardware/Software Engineering leads, Test & Evaluation, Product Support, Safety, and Quality accountable to program milestones and delivery dates
