** Americas Advanced Manufacturing Strategy (AMS) Program Manager
** is a critical, high-impact leadership role within the Advanced Manufacturing Strategy team. This position carries a unique, dual-focus mandate: actively driving strategic manufacturing network design, while orchestrating the end-to-end execution of complex footprint transformations and regional capital programs.

The ideal candidate is a blend of a strategic operations thinker and a disciplined program integrator. You will partner closely with Business Units (BUs), Plant Leadership, and senior cross-functional executives to design optimized manufacturing networks and lead the implementation of multi-phase programs (comprising 5 to 10 highly interdependent sub-projects). In this role, you will translate long-term operations strategy into structured, phased execution plans that ensure operational excellence, capital efficiency, and long-term business resilience across our manufacturing sites.

* What you will do:

*
* ** Strategic Footprint & Strategy Formulation*
* Lead and contribute to the analytical framing, design, and continuous optimization of the Americas manufacturing footprint. Rather than reacting to localized capacity gaps, this role proactively evaluates the 5-to-10-year network architecture (focused vs. flexible plants, centralized hubs vs. regional final assembly) to support business growth and margin objectives.

** Multi-Site Program Integration & Execution*
* Serve as the single owner of the integration through-line for complex capital programs, facility start-ups, brownfield expansions, site consolidations, and strategic work transfers. You will ensure that these intricate transitions are executed seamlessly, mitigating risk and maintaining absolute continuity for customer commitments.
