About the Position:
We need a motivated and results-oriented Program Manager to lead complex, customer-driven development programs from concept through production.

- Use artificial intelligence to streamline drafting, reporting, and analysis
- Take ownership of at least five projects within 30 days, after shadowing experienced Program Managers and completing training
Capabilities:

- Confident and well-spoken; able to command credibility amongst engineers, account managers, executives, and customers
- Understanding of the project lifecycle and the ability to understand technical challenges and translate them into actionable business and program decision
- A data-driven, efficiency-minded approach and the ability to learn essential process flows and tools quickly
- U.S. Person status (as defined by ITAR: U.S. citizen, green card holder, refugee, or asylum seeker)
