Program Manager

Our client supplies composite and textile reinforced components to the aerospace and defense industry. They are creating a newly defined Program Manager role to bring structure, formal process, and dedicated coordination to a program portfolio that has, to date, been managed almost entirely through the hands-on expertise of one overloaded senior leader. This is a rare chance to build a program management function largely from scratch — designing the tools, cadence, and cross-functional communication processes that don't yet exist — while training directly under that leader for the first six months and taking on progressively larger projects toward full autonomy within a year. Background Profile3–5 years in engineering or technical program coordination Mechanical, materials, aerospace, or textile engineering; design engineering exposure a plus Growth PathFull ownership of medium-sized programs within ~1 year; potential to lead a program management team over time
