This role supports the translation of customer requirements and launch timing into clear internal execution plans, coordinating cross-functional teams to key milestones and helping ensure the business is prepared to deliver against customer commitments.


This individual drives execution discipline across engineering, operations, sales, and other supporting functions to keep programs on track, escalate issues appropriately, and maintain clear communication with both internal stakeholders and the customer.

  • Strong alignment between customer expectations and internal delivery capability, with changes and tradeoffs communicated clearly
  • Successful coordination of design iteration cycles without losing schedule control or compromising execution quality
  • Accurate and timely status reporting, milestone tracking, and escalation management across assigned accounts

Responsibilities

  • Manage the execution timeline for assigned accounts, including coordination with integration partners and ODMs, from design handoff through production, delivery, site deployment, and customer acceptance
  • Translate customer launch schedules into internal milestone plans, coordinating dependencies across teams (applications engineering, operations, sales, etc.)
  • Support rapid iteration cycles between engineering and customer-facing teams, ensuring design revisions are incorporated and revalidated while staying on schedule
  • Serve as an execution point of contact for assigned accounts, managing milestone communications, status reporting, and escalation handling
  • Coordinate with Sales to maintain alignment between customer expectations and internal execution capacity
  • Participate in cross-functional issue resolution efforts, driving accountability and timely closure on blockers
  • Proactively identify execution risks across workstreams and recommend mitigation strategies
  • Maintain detailed program documentation, including schedules, risk logs, action item trackers, and status reports

Qualifications

  • 5–7 years of project management or program coordination experience
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, Business, or a related technical field
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Demonstrated project management skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously
