• Demonstrated, successful manufacturing, operations and supply chain expertise
• Unparalleled, world-class Technical Program Management experience
• A well-developed, almost innate sense for recognizing, attracting, developing and promoting high-potential talent…

• Focus on process efficiencies through Lean Six Sigma techniques
• Real-time data for real-time decision making
• Cost-down and cost-out culture throughout the organization

But none of this happense without the right talent on board. “Best people” is where it all begins. Our client’s commitment to quality, innovation, sales and service begins with their people (possible you?).  Attracting and retaining talent is key to the company’s success, and because they want only the best, they deliver exactly that in return:  competitive compensation, a healthy benefit package, additional opportunity for rewards, and always career growth possibilities.

Our client is a leading global Tier Two supplier to the automotive industry, as well as a supplier to USA broader industrial and medical markets.  With revenues of approximately $500 million and over 2500 employees worldwide, the company has three manufacturing facilities in the US, two in the UK, and one in France.  China is next.  A private company, our client is owned by a major New York-based private equity firm which also holds controlling or significant minority interests in companies around the world that generate over $60 billion in annual revenues. 

Key Responsibilities

Our client considers to be a senior level position which requires extensive, direct interaction with the top executive management team.  The Director of Program Management will establish and administer the comprehensive framework for all Program Management (PM) activities and provide leadership, direction and expert guidance in the development and enhancement of comprehensive PM systems and processes. The Director will oversee the selection and evaluation of PMO personnel, develop the strategic PMO plan, and drive the tactical implementation of that plan.  The Director will also provide leadership in linking corporate goals and business strategies to the deployment of sound PM practices, ensuring and measuring PMO organizational effectiveness.

We expect in every opportunity and challenge the Director undertakes, he or she will also drive consistent and sustainable continuous improvement (Lean) throughout the Program Management function.

Travel – We anticipate that both domestic and international travel will be an important component of this position; perhaps up to about 35% would be normal. As the pace of Asian activity picks up this may increase somewhat.

Compensation – Excellent base salary and incentive bonus plan. Comprehensive relocation assistance provided.
