THE WORK

Program Planning - What It Is & Why It Matters

Program planning is the backbone of successful, complex projects. Planners translate strategic goals into detailed, time‑phased schedules, identify risks, and provide the data that leaders need to make informed decisions. Think of it as the "navigation system" for multidisciplinary programs - guiding resources, milestones, and deliverables from concept to completion.

If you have ever coordinated construction timelines, managed curriculum rollouts, planned hospitality events, coordinated healthcare programs, overseen product launches, or synchronized mission‑critical operations, you already practice the core of program planning. This role gives you the chance to sharpen those skills, learn industry leading tools, and grow a career that directly supports national defense and aerospace innovation.

This position is located in Stratford, Connecticut and will serve as a planner on our Marine Corps Systems (MCS) new capability and sustainment efforts on the CH-53K and VH-92A programs.
