Senior Director of PAC-3 Production Programs

Role Overview

The Senior Director of PAC-3 Production Programs is a senior executive role created to provide clear execution ownership for a critical product family which is experiencing an extremely rapid production ramp.

The role is designed to ensure focused, end-to-end accountability for production execution and transition to production, recognizing that effective delivery at this scale requires sustained senior leadership attention beyond what functional or program roles alone can provide.

Reporting to the Corporate Vice President, Aerospace, Defense & Communications, this role serves as the single accountable leader for execution outcomes for this product family. This leader is responsible for production execution, transition to production of next-generation products, and delivery performance across engineering and manufacturing interfaces.

Business and market strategy for the product family is owned by a separate Business Strategy organization. The Product Line Managing Director does not set the business strategy, but is accountable for executing approved strategy through disciplined delivery, manufacturing readiness, and cross-functional alignment.

This role is intentionally positioned to work across Engineering, Manufacturing and Finance, providing the time, focus, and authority required to align priorities, resolve tradeoffs, and drive execution consistency.

Organizational Model & Leadership Structure

The Product Line Managing Director serves as the single point of accountability for execution performance of the product line.

Key partnered and supporting roles include:

• Product Line Finance Leader
• Product Line Manufacturing Lead (matrixed from Manufacturing organization)
• Chief Engineer (matrixed from Engineering organization)
• Lead Program Manager (matrixed from Engineering organization)
• Business Unit Management (strategy ownership)
• Contracts / Legal / Compliance / Facilities / Security

Key Responsibilities

Production Execution & Delivery Accountability (Primary Accountability)

• Own day-to-day production execution for all products within the product line.
• Ensure delivery commitments for cost, schedule, quality, and yield are met.
• Drive disciplined execution across manufacturing, test, supply chain, and quality.
• Identify execution risks early and lead cross-functional mitigation actions.

Transition to Production & NPI Leadership (Critical Accountability)

• Own the transition of next-generation products from development into production.
• Ensure production readiness prior to release, including:
  • Manufacturing process maturity
  • Test readiness and throughput
  • Yield, reliability, and quality performance
  • Workforce skills and staffing readiness
• Drive Design-for-Manufacturability (DFM) and Design-for-Test (DFT) in partnership with Engineering and Manufacturing.

Program Execution & Cross-Functional Alignment

• Lead program execution through the Lead Program Manager.
• Ensure programs meet cost, schedule, and technical commitments during production and transition phases.
• Resolve cross-functional tradeoffs between engineering maturity, manufacturing readiness, cost, and schedule.
• Maintain tight alignment with the Business Strategy organization to ensure execution plans support strategic intent without owning strategy definition.

Financial Execution & Governance

• Own execution against approved financial plans for the product line.
• Partner with Product Line Finance to:
  • Manage production cost, labor efficiency, and yield performance
  • Ensure accurate cost standards and rate application for government programs
  • Support audits and compliance with government accounting requirements
