Integrated Solutions Program Manager

Position Overview

The Front End Integrated Solutions Program Manager serves as a critical early-phase program development leader and continues ownership through full program execution. This role is responsible for shaping, aligning, and driving complex integrated solution programs—often involving multiple products, technologies, and segments—from opportunity identification (prePR1 / PR0) through delivery and launch.

The role operates at the intersection of cross-functional teams and customers, reducing ambiguity early, aligning cross-functional expectations, and ensuring programs enter execution with a clear, achievable, and well-defined foundation. The position maintains continuity by acting as the primary program manager throughout the lifecycle, not just during definition.

• Lead structured discussions to define program charter, objectives, scope boundaries, deliverables, assumptions, and constraints.
• Establish clear timing expectations, milestone intent, and handoff criteria prior to formal program execution.

• Act as the program coordinator for license-based engagements with competitors or external partners to acquire required technical data, documentation, and deliverables per executed license agreements.
• Coordinate cross-functionally with Legal, Product Management, Engineering, and Sales to ensure requests align strictly with license scope, terms, and timing obligations.
• Track and manage license-required deliverables.
• Serve as the single program point of contact for inbound and outbound technical data exchanges, ensuring consistency, traceability, and controlled communication.

• Continuing ownership of the program through formal execution, ensuring continuity from definition to delivery.
• Develop and maintain detailed program plans, schedules, and milestone tracking.
• Drive execution across cross-functional teams to meet scope, schedule, cost and quality objectives.
• Lead regular program reviews, risk assessments, and issue resolution.
• Lead project teams by coordinating, communicating, and managing interdependencies between related projects to achieve program goals.
• Manage change control, scope adjustments, and customer communication throughout the lifecycle.

• Facilitate collaboration across to align technical feasibility, customer requirements, and business objectives.
• Drive clarity across multiple product or technological elements within an integrated solution.
• Ensure and balance alignment of stakeholder expectations.

• Lead customer discussions to translate high-level needs, timelines, and constraints into a clear program charter, including scope boundaries, assumptions, and risks.
• Facilitate alignment between customer expectations and internal cross-functional feasibility.
• Owning customer communication for delivery, regular execution status updates, changes, and risks.
• Align internal teams and customers on expectations, risks, and decision points early to avoid downstream rework.

• Identify gaps, risks, and ambiguities during early program development and drive resolution or escalation.
• Document and maintain program definition artifacts (charter, scope of summary, timeline assumptions, risk items).
• Support early feasibility assessments and tradeoff discussions across disciplines.

• 5+ years  experience in program or project management within technical or engineered product environments
• Strong ability to lead cross-functional, multidiscipline teams
• Customer-facing communication and facilitation skills
• Experience working with PM, Engineering, and Sales/FAE organizations
• Proven ability to manage ambiguity and drive clarity early in program life cycles
