Sr. Manufacturing Program Manager, Vertical Integration

What You'll Do - Establish programs. Transform an ambiguous strategic mandate into organized work-streams, assign owners, set milestones, and create a budget. Designing the operating system that supports the entire effort. - Build the plan.

Convert strategy into decision-grade plans: requirements definition, options analysis, cost models, and a costed, sequenced recommendation. - Own execution. Drive work-streams to completion, hold the schedule and budget, manage dependencies, and clear blockers before they stall the program. - Manage stakeholders and partners.

Coordinate internal functions (engineering, supply chain, finance) and external partners and consultants; scope engagements and hold them to budget and deadline. - Quantify the decision. Build and own the financial models, make-vs-buy, CapEx, breakeven, unit economics that leadership decisions rest on. - Drive to a decision.

Synthesize the work into executive-grade readouts and move leadership to a clear, timely call.

Basic

Qualifications: - 7+ years leading cross-functional programs to executive decisions in manufacturing/operations, corporate strategy or BizOps at a hardware company, or management consulting with genuine industrial exposure. - Demonstrated ownership of a complex, ambiguous effort driven from strategy through to an executable plan. - Financial-modeling fluency: breakeven, CapEx, unit economics, and enough M&A literacy (EBITDA multiples) to own and pressure-test a make-vs-buy model. - Executive communication: structured written synthesis and board-quality presentations. - Vendor and consultant management, scoping and holding external partners to budget and deadline. - Comfort operating without a playbook, at startup pace, with direct executive exposure.

Preferred
