• 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

• 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

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, Business, or a related technical field
