Program Manager – Aerospace & Defense Job Brandon area,Mississippi USA,Management

I am currently supporting an established US aerospace and defence manufacturer in the search for a Program Manager to join its growing operation in Columbus, Mississippi
.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience across aerospace manufacturing, defence programmes, DoD customers or complex manufacturing environments who wants genuine ownership of programmes without needing to already be operating at Senior Program Manager or Director level.

Strong Project Managers looking to step into a Program Manager position are also encouraged to apply.

The role will involve:

Coordinating programme schedules, pricing and technical performance
Managing programmes from planning through execution and delivery
Working closely with engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain and other internal stakeholders
Supporting proposals, programme plans, specifications and contractual requirements
Tracking labour, materials, overheads and overall programme costs
Identifying programme risks and driving solutions before they impact delivery
Monitoring milestones, budgets and customer commitments
Supporting continuous improvement and Lean manufacturing initiatives
Acting as a key link between programme requirements and operational execution

We are particularly interested in speaking with candidates who have experience in:

Aerospace or defence manufacturing
Department of Defense or military programmes
Manufacturing operations and production environments
Cost, schedule and performance management
Lean manufacturing and continuous improvement
Cross functional programme leadership

You do not need to be an extremely senior Program Manager for this opportunity.

Someone currently operating as a Program Manager, Project Manager, Associate Program Manager, Programme Lead or similar who is ready to take on greater responsibility could be an excellent fit.

Why consider it?

The business offers genuine career progression and the opportunity to grow alongside an expanding aerospace organisation. One of our recent hires into the business progressed into a Director level position within just nine months
, highlighting the level of opportunity available for high performers.

Environment: Aerospace and Defence manufacturing

Position: Full time

If you have experience managing programmes or projects within aerospace, defence, military manufacturing or another highly regulated manufacturing environment
, I would be interested in speaking with you.
