** Senior Director, Program Management
** As Senior Director, Program Management, you will lead Tera Wave's Program Management Office (PMO) and partner with the SVP, Tera Wave on how the program operates. You will own the integrated program plan and execution rhythms, including the Integrated Master Schedule, the schedule of schedules that connects every segment, and the program demand plan, which turns the system-of-systems architecture and deployment plan into what the program must build, buy, test, and launch, and when.  

The PMO also owns the shared infrastructure the program runs on: the business rhythms that drive decisions, configuration control of the integrated system of systems, and the analytics that show the program its own health. Product leaders and their embedded technical program managers own their own schedules and execution. The Program Management Office integrates them, holds the baseline, finds cross-segment conflicts early, and makes sure leadership acts on them.  

You will set the strategy and operating model at the executive level, and you will also do the work yourself: building the IMS, running the critical path review, owning the demand plan, and presenting it to leadership. You will keep the program management staff small and invest instead in software: you will build and lead a small team of software developers who automate how the program plans, reports, and decides, leveraging AI coding agents.

We are looking for someone who has integrated schedules and demand across complex hardware and software programs, sets a high bar for program discipline, and measures the Program Management Office’s success by how much coordination load it takes off the program, not by how large it grows.

**** Strategic Leadership & Operating Model
*** Partner with the SVP, Tera Wave on strategic planning and operating model across Tera Wave.
* Turn program strategy into an integrated plan with clear milestones, owners, and accountability.
* Establish the governance forums, business processes, and decision…
