Re:Build Manufacturing is revitalizing America's manufacturing base by operating an advanced, end-to-end manufacturing platform that partners with industrial companies and innovators to take products from concept to full-scale production. The company focuses on critical verticals including aerospace and defense, electrification, medical, energy and environment, and robotics and automation.
The Program Delivery Director owns the complete lifecycle of large-scale programs generating $10MM–$25MM+ in annual revenue. This is a general management role requiring business ownership and operational leadership rather than traditional project management. The director manages complete P&L accountability, drives customer satisfaction, and ensures successful execution of complex, multi-site engineering and production programs.
Key responsibilities include:
• Own complete program P&L: Manage all aspects of program financial performance including pricing, budgeting, cost control, and profitability from initial quote through production at scale.
• Lead Integrated Program Leadership Team (IPLT): Direct and coordinate the Chief Program Engineer, Manufacturing Engineering Leader, Supply Chain Leader, Finance Leader, and Commercial Leader to ensure aligned execution.
• Direct dedicated program resources: Manage designated resources from member companies during program assignments; manage their time and priorities during program execution.
• Drive customer relationships: Serve as primary contact point and strategic collaborator with customers, particularly during blocking issues or critical decision points; navigate complex customer dynamics effectively.
• Coordinate multi-site execution: Manage program activities across Re:Build operating sites, ensuring seamless coordination and eliminating friction between organizations.
• Manage design-to-production transitions: Own the complete process from engineering through prototype, LRIP, and volume manufacturing, ensuring Manufacturing-Constrained Design principles are applied.
• Execute stage-gate processes: Drive programs through established gates (concept, design review, detailed design freeze, prototype validation, pilot run, production launch, post-launch review) with appropriate decision authority.
• Resource planning and forecasting: Provide accurate forecasts of upcoming resource needs to Re:Build Services Resourcing Group; solidify engineer assignments for programs going under PO.
• Identify and solve problems independently: Look for solutions to barriers preventing program success; make decisions and take action without waiting for direction.
• Build and lead high-performing teams: Create urgency and accountability within program teams; develop coherent team culture across distributed resources.
The ideal candidate has proven experience managing complex engineering and manufacturing programs at multiple sites, builds relationships with customers and internal collaborators by showing results, can influence and coordinate resources across organizational boundaries without direct authority, and is comfortable making high-stakes decisions with incomplete information.
