This is a customer-facing execution role focused on driving outcomes across technical, complex, cross-functional programs.

Responsibilities

• Own delivery across cross-functional programs from early-stage scoping through execution and milestone tracking
• Drive coordination across internal teams (e.g. engineering, supply chain, software, operations) to unblock execution and maintain delivery momentum
• Lead execution governance by establishing clear cadences for cross-functional coordination, executive reporting, and delivery accountability
• Maintain external-facing timelines, program dashboards, and milestone definitions in partnership with program leadership
• Support internal and external communication including risk tracking, status updates, executive reporting, and program reviews
• Oversee and manage program budgets, including spend visibility, burn rate, and alignment with delivery milestones
• Partner with project managers to ensure tactical deliverables roll up into clear milestones and customer expectations
• Monitor program scope and deliverables to track changes and clarify owner responsibilities
• Operate as a program lead and primary point of contact for both internal and external stakeholders
• 5+ years in a program, operations, or project execution role within aerospace, defense, manufacturing, or adjacent high-complexity fields
• Candidates with a background in management consulting or equivalent program management experience leading complex, multi-stakeholder programs in high-precision operational environments are strongly preferred
• Experience with factory or physical infrastructure delivery, including CapEx programs or scaled manufacturing environments
• Experience leading delivery within technical, ambiguous, or startup-like environments
• Familiarity with common program tooling, including Microsoft Project, Airtable, Gantt charts, and risk tracking frameworks
• Ability to independently manage large bodies of work while surfacing blockers and driving cross-team resolution
• Proven ability to create clear, persuasive program deliverables including slides, briefs, and progress updates for both internal and external audiences
• Willingness to travel up to 40% to factory sites, customer locations, and suppliers as needed
• 5+ years in a program, operations, or project execution role within aerospace, defense, manufacturing, or adjacent high-complexity fields
• Candidates with a background in management consulting or equivalent program management experience leading complex, multi-stakeholder programs in high-precision operational environments are strongly preferred
