Flowserve is seeking a dynamic, accomplished Manager, Project Management – New Product Development (NPD) to lead and strengthen the enterprise product-development project management function. This leader will drive consistent, disciplined execution of global NPD initiatives across product platforms, ensuring programs deliver against strategic commitments for scope, schedule, cost, quality, and customer value. The Manager will lead a team of cross-platform Project Managers; establish common governance, reporting, tools, and operating practices; and partner closely with NPD, Strategic Business Management (SBM), Design-to-Value (DtV), Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, Finance, and Commercial teams. This role is central to improving portfolio visibility, resolving cross-functional execution barriers, accelerating innovation, and building a high-performing global project management organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Enterprise NPD Execution and Governance Lead the consistent, global application of Flowserve’s New Product Development and Product Development Process frameworks across platforms and business functions. Establish and maintain enterprise-level project governance, including phase-gate expectations, decision-readiness criteria, escalation paths, project-health standards, and leadership review cadences. Own the definition, reporting, and continuous improvement of core NPD performance metrics, including On-Time Delivery, On-Budget Delivery, project health, milestone attainment, risk exposure, resource utilization, and product vitality. Ensure project teams maintain integrated plans covering scope, schedule, budget, resources, dependencies, risks, decisions, and deliverables. Drive disciplined execution from concept through development, validation, industrialization, launch, and post-launch transition.
• Process, Tools, and Continuous Improvement Lead enterprise-level improvement and standardization of NPD, Product Development Process, and Design-to-Value practices. Develop and maintain project-management procedures, templates, playbooks, deliverables, reporting tools, and governance standards. Partner with NPD and DtV leaders to identify execution gaps, simplify processes, improve adoption, and embed best practices across the organization. Evaluate and recommend project-management, portfolio-management, reporting, and collaboration tools that improve visibility, efficiency, and decision quality. Participate in assessments involving third-party consultants, supplemental workforce partners, and organizational/process-improvement initiatives. Coordinate the development, communication, training, and adoption plans required to implement process and tool improvements successfully.
• Portfolio, Capacity, and Financial Management Lead the team of cross-platform Project Managers in the execution of prioritized NPD initiatives. Conduct regular capacity-and-demand assessments to inform project-manager assignments, workforce planning, prioritization discussions, and resource-gap resolution. Partner with NPD, SBM, DtV leadership, and functional leaders to translate portfolio priorities into executable delivery plans. Own NPD budget reporting in collaboration with NPD Leads and Financial Business Partners, including forecast accuracy, project cost performance, and cost-to-complete visibility. Provide executive-level portfolio reporting that highlights performance trends, decisions required, delivery risks, resource constraints, and recommended actions. Support business cases, financial analysis, cost-benefit analysis, and Design-to-Value initiatives that improve program outcomes and resource allocation.
• Cross-Functional Leadership and Risk Management Lead resolution of enterprise-level project-support gaps while operating in alignment with the NPD RACI and functional-accountability model. Build strong partnerships across Engineering, Product Management, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Service, Finance, and Commercial functions. Facilitate timely decisions, resolve cross-functional conflicts, remove barriers, and elevate issues when necessary to protect project commitments. Champion proactive risk management by ensuring teams identify, assess, mitigate, and communicate technical, commercial, operational, supply-chain, financial, and schedule risks. Ensure project teams use appropriate contingency plans, corrective actions, and lessons learned to reduce recurring execution issues. Ensure new intellectual-property creation and protection processes are understood, integrated into project execution, and consistently followed.
• People Leadership and Capability Building Lead, coach, and develop a global team of Project Managers supporting NPD initiatives across product platforms. Establish clear individual goals, responsibilities, development plans, and performance expectations for team members. Build team capability in project leadership, product-development execution, financial management, risk management, communication, conflict resolution, and executive-level reporting. Create an environment in which Project Managers are empowered to lead decisions, provide informed technical and business input, challenge assumptions, resolve conflicts, and elevate appropriately. Recruit, develop, and retain high-performing talent while promoting a culture of accountability, collaboration, continuous improvement, and innovation. Develop role-based training and change-management plans to drive adoption of improved processes, tools, and standards.
