• Optimize Product Transitions & Financial Performance: Direct sustaining and component End-of-Life (EOL) and Last-Time-Buy (LTB) activities to accelerate time-to-market (TTM) while systematically minimizing excess and obsolete (E&O) inventory risks and costs.
• Scale Operational Infrastructure: Lead cross-functional process and tool improvement initiatives that streamline workflows, remove operational bottlenecks, and establish scalable operational frameworks to support company growth.
• Deliver Strategic Visibility & Alignment: Build dynamic program dashboards, portals, and metric frameworks to communicate strategy, operational risks, and mitigation plans transparently to executives and cross-functional partners.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Proven Program & Lifecycle Leadership: Expertise leading complex manufacturing programs, component sourcing strategies, and product transitions from pilot phase through end-of-life in fast-paced technical environments.
• Deep Operations & Manufacturing Acumen: Operational knowledge spanning manufacturing processes, schedule management, material flow, daily production target setting, and cost estimation.
• Cross-Functional Influence & Collaboration: Exceptional communication skills with a track record of establishing high-trust working relationships, influencing cross-functional stakeholders, and driving alignment across engineering and operations teams.
• End-to-End Ownership & Problem Solving: Demonstrated ability to take complete ownership of complex operational challenges, mitigate risks proactively, and deliver measurable results in rapidly growing environments.
