The role reports to the VP, Supply Chain Strategy — Power & Mechanical Systems, Logistics and will lead a global team of program managers supporting Power Systems, Mechanical Systems, tools/fasteners, eBOS, Inverters, BESS, automation, robotics, foundation equipment, NPI, regional manufacturing, and adjacent business initiatives.
The need for this elevated role is supported by the current PM scope, which already includes global launches, factory ramps, program governance, Power BI dashboards, Smartsheets, JIRA/NPI handoff, launch frameworks, manufacturing readiness, and manufacturing ramp programs.
Drive predictable execution across global programs supporting product launches, factory ramps, supplier transitions, second-source qualifications, regional manufacturing, cost reduction, and strategic business integrations. Serve as the senior escalation point for PM execution risks, ensuring early identification, mitigation planning, ownership alignment, and closure.
Ensure manufacturing readiness is assessed early and consistently across programs, with clear ownership and escalation where needed.
