Re:Build was founded to pioneer a profitable model for the revitalization of US manufacturing. We’ve assembled a powerful set of complimentary capabilities and lines of business that enable us to pursue a wide range of end markets. Our acquired businesses are grounded in build-to-print and by-the-hour engineering and design services, and we’re leveraging their combined expertise to migrate to increasingly sophisticated program development and production, as well as the generation of our own products. Our unique set of capabilities lend themselves to highly complex systems and products, and we offer customers a range of services including product and systems design, automation, fabrication, assembly, and large volume contract manufacturing. Our customers span a wide array of industries including aerospace, defense, mobility, healthcare, pharma, biotech, clean tech, chemicals, energy, lifestyle, food production, and industrial equipment.

The PMO Director will lead the Program Management Organization (PMO), a team of highly skilled cross-functional program managers that lead strategic programs with high commercial value and technical or organizational complexity.

The PMO Director will manage the PMO team and processes to ensure steady progress toward program goals - from opportunity capture through contract performance - leveraging functional expertise from site leadership and the commercial, technology development, engineering, operations, finance, and legal teams.

• They will ensure clearly communicated expectations for deliverables, budget, and schedule and oversee coordination of activity across all teams to deliver on commitments. This will require close partnership with the commercial team to (a) ensure that written commercial agreements capture operational requirements that can be translated into performance, and (b) develop customer-focused strategies to manage relationships and grow opportunities within existing program customers.
• The PMO leader will also be responsible for development, implementation, and continuous improvement of processes and mechanisms for accountability to schedule, budget, and customer requirements.
• They will ensure clear communication of progress and deviations to schedule, budget and recovery/mitigation plans at the appropriate levels of management.
• They will identify and manage risks - operational, technical, financial - and ensure that mitigation plans are developed and implemented.
• They will foster strong relationships with customers, supporting program managers in engaging with customers at the right level.
• They will apply high judgment to align program objectives with Re:Build Manufacturing’s strategic priorities.

The PMO Leader will manage a team of highly skilled cross-functional program managers, providing an organizational structure that reinforces the fundamentals of program management, and increasing the overall skill level of the team and of Re:Build.

• Customer engagement - requirements development and negotiation, communication of risks and opportunities, resolution of technical/business/operational gaps and growth of work scope within existing customers, in close partnership with the commercial team;
• Cross-functional management - identifying and leveraging resources without a direct reporting relationship, aligning the team to a goal and driving accountability across functions to hit a common objective;
• Management of large, complex programs spanning multiple customers or businesses with multiyear timelines, technical uncertainty - identify and marshal resources to meet technical and operational requirements;
• Experience in manufacturing and supply chain, including metal and composite fabrication and assembly for aerospace, transportation, consumer products, and medical devices;
• Understanding of written commercial contracts and ability to translate contractual requirements into operational performance and risk management;
• Technical, operational, and financial acumen as demonstrated by success in running equivalent organizations with relevant technical content;
• Leadership of high performing, highly skilled individuals - setting challenging goals and providing support for learning and growth together with successful execution of commitments

• A BS degree in an engineering or technical field (electrical, mechanical, or manufacturing engineering); advanced technical degree and/or MBA preferred.
• 10-15 years or more of full-time work experience in a technical project or program management role that required managing timelines, requirements, budgets, and metrics for technically complex products for commercial customers.
• Demonstrated experience in a leadership role with direct and indirect authority to manage cross-functional resources.
• Certifications in Program and/or Project Management preferred.

Travel of up to 25% is to be expected, with occasional increases depending on project needs.
