* Drive structured planning, resource allocation, and milestone tracking across a multi-disciplinary set of engineering, operations, and supply-chain partners.

* Ensure joint program plans reflect shared deliverables, component release schedules, and cost-down initiatives across the enterprise.
* Facilitate cross-organizational prioritization, conflict resolution, and executive alignment where component programs intersect with integrated solutions.
Team Leadership & Development


* Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing team of program managers specializing in complex engineered systems.
* Develop competencies in planning, risk management, stakeholder management, cost control, and solution-level integration.
* Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement.
Financial Ownership & Commercial Alignment


* Own solution-level cost models and ensure alignment to margin, product-cost, and lifecycle targets.
* Partner with Product Management, Finance, Engineering, and Operations to ensure predictable cost structures, including BOM cost, labor cost, and integration cost.
* Support commercial readiness, launch planning, sales enablement, and supply-chain readiness for new solution releases.
Stakeholder Communication & Governance


* Provide crisp, executive-ready program updates including schedule status, cost/risk visibility, mitigation plans, and cross-BU alignment.
* Run periodic program reviews, governance boards, and cross-functional alignment forums.
