We’re looking for a Director of Program Management to lead our Program Management team in Miamisburg, OH and scale how we deliver products into mission-critical defense programs. You’ll build modern, compliant program operations—clear metrics, strong execution cadence, and decision-quality visibility—while coaching a high-performing team and delivering on schedule, cost, quality, and customer commitments in a highly regulated environment. This position reports to the Business Unit GM and leads a team of 8–12 direct reports.

Lead, coach, and develop the Program Management team (hiring, onboarding, performance, and succession planning).

Scale program execution by standardizing playbooks, templates, tooling, and an operating cadence that teams actually use.

Create clarity and accountability across programs—prioritize, unblock teams, and drive rapid issue/risk escalation and closure.

Own end-to-end program outcomes across scope, schedule, cost, and delivery—translating customer commitments into executable plans.

Run program financials with real-time visibility: ETC/EAC forecasting, ASC 606 revenue recognition, billing/shipping, AR, and KPI-based performance reviews.

Lead non-catalog proposal execution (management/cost volumes, BOEs, IMS, risk register) and support negotiations and fact-finds.

Build trusted customer relationships and serve as an executive-level point of contact.

Ensure compliance with U.S. Government contracting requirements, including FAR and TINA.

Drive a data-driven operating rhythm (PMRs, ETC/EAC reviews, leadership updates) with crisp status, risks, and mitigation plans.

Continuously improve how we deliver—tighten planning, strengthen risk management, and modernize workflows (primarily waterfall) to increase speed and predictability.

Bachelor’s degree in STEM discipline and/or Business.

6+ years of progressive program/project management experience in aerospace or defense, including people leadership.

Strong program finance skills (ETC/EAC forecasting, program P&L, risk/opportunity estimation, and ASC 606 revenue recognition) with comfort using metrics and dashboards to drive decisions.

Experience building scalable program management systems (tools, templates, governance, reporting) and driving adoption across cross-functional teams.

Strong planning discipline, including integrated master schedules, clear critical-path thinking, and waterfall execution.

Executive-level communication and customer presence—able to translate complex program data into clear decisions and actions.
