Job description

Overview

At Arconic, we take pride in our work and our innovative products and technologies that advance sustainable solutions for a better world. We strive to create a safe, inclusive, and collaborative workplace with competitive benefits, development opportunities and a culture that values and rewards employees on all levels of the organization.

Arconic is at a pivotal moment in its evolution. As a global leader in lightweight metals engineering and advanced manufacturing, the company sits at the center of critical supply chains serving aerospace, automotive, industrial, and defense markets. With a strong legacy of materials science innovation and deep customer relationships, Arconic is uniquely positioned to accelerate growth and expand its strategic relevance. Following its acquisition by Apollo Global Management, Arconic is entering a new chapter focused on operational excellence, modernization, and disciplined value creation. Apollo’s investment thesis centers on unlocking the full potential of Arconic’s industrial footprint—driving performance improvements, strengthening digital and cybersecurity capabilities, and positioning the company for long‑term competitiveness.

Role: This environment creates a rare opportunity for leaders who want to shape the trajectory of a global industrial platform. Leaders joining Arconic today will play a direct role in:

• Scaling the business through operational transformation, technology modernization, and commercial expansion
• Executing Apollo’s value‑creation strategy, including cost optimization, digital enablement, and organizational uplift
• Building a more resilient, integrated enterprise, capable of supporting both legacy operations and next‑generation manufacturing
• Preparing the company for its continued future growth, where strong governance, finance maturity, and operational discipline will be essential differentiators

Arconic offers the best of both worlds: the stability and scale of a global manufacturer, combined with the urgency, ambition, and upside of a private‑equity‑backed transformation. Leaders who join now will have the chance to leave a lasting imprint on the company’s future and help shape a business that is poised for renewed growth and market leadership.
