As a External Capacity Program Manager — with an integrated role supporting the Capacity Growth Office (CGO) — you will lead critical initiatives to expand, stabilize, and modernize the supply base required to meet Raytheon’s increasing demand. You will drive external capacity programs, manage large‑scale supplier growth efforts, and lead complex, cross-functional initiatives to break supply‑base constraints and enable industrial base expansion.
This position requires a proactive, influential leader capable of executing high‑visibility capacity programs, driving supplier readiness, managing major external capacity projects, and partnering across the enterprise to modernize propulsion and energetic sub‑tiers.
What You Will Do:
Data Analysis & Insights
• Analyze demand, proposals, and capacity data to generate forward‑looking insights that support supplier readiness, industrial expansion planning, and multi‑year production ramps.
• Evaluate supplier capabilities, constraints, and investment needs using CGO capacity frameworks such as Transform–Improve–Sustain and prioritized focus categories.
• Integrate data across programs to support consolidated demand strategies, cost modeling, and bottoms‑up part‑level capacity targets.
Project & Supplier Program Management
• Provide program management leadership for the largest capacity initiatives in the propulsion, energetics, and sub‑tier supply base.
• Develop and manage Integrated Master Schedules (IMS) to track execution for major qualification, industrial expansion, and modernization programs.
• Manage simultaneous large and small capacity expansion projects, including new supplier startups, factory stand‑ups, and multi‑source qualification programs
• Coordinate across CGO, SBU/programs, supply chain, engineering, quality, and suppliers to ensure aligned execution of capacity goals
Supplier Readiness, Growth & External Capacity Expansion
• Lead supplier factory stand-ups, qualification accelerations, long‑lead procurement alignment, and multi‑source development for propulsion and energetic products
• Support the US Industrial Expansion strategy including standing up new rocket motor entrants and compressing qualification timelines
• Execute actions to stabilize the existing industrial base by attacking highest‑risk constraints across incumbent and ew entrant suppliers and critical sub‑tiers
• Drive modernization of propulsion architectures, materials, and processes
Cross-Functional Leadership
• Serve as the primary interface for supply‑chain capacity updates, partnering with customers and internal stakeholders on required data and status
• Lead complex, matrixed teams executing multi‑sourcing, supplier recovery, modernization, and new entrant development efforts
• Collaborate with programs, finance, engineering, operations, and executive leadership to secure resources, validate investments, and drive transformation
Risk & Opportunity Management
• Identify, assess, and prioritize supply‑base risks—including ramp risks, material obsolescence, long‑lead constraints, and single‑point‑of‑failure suppliers
• Partner with Industrial Base Resiliency teams to accelerate DMSMS mitigation actions and implement enterprise‑level strategies for resiliency
• Track execution velocity and implement corrective actions based on performance gaps, risk frameworks, and supplier readiness assessments
Strategic Communication
• Present program status, capacity insights, investment outcomes, and risk posture to senior leadership, customers, and cross‑functional partners
• Develop clear, outward-facing communication to drive alignment across CGO leadership, programs, and the broader organization
Qualifications You Must Have
• Typically requires a University degree or equivalent experience and at least 10 years of related experience in engineering, supply chain, business, finance, or related field; or an advanced degree plus 7 years of related experience
• Experience managing complex supplier programs or industrial expansion initiatives
• Ability to travel domestically (and occasionally internationally) approximately 30%
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance (U.S. citizenship required)
Qualifications We Prefer
• Experience with program management principles, IMS development, critical chain tools, risk management, action‑item tracking, and metrics management
• Background in propulsion, energetics, munitions, or complex manufacturing environments
• Experience with multi-sourcing, supplier startups, factory stand-ups, and accelerated qualification development
• Knowledge of financial forecasting, cost/schedule management, and capital investment validation
• Experience working with modernization efforts, material DMSMS mitigation, and producibility enhancements
• Proficiency with SAP, Microsoft Office, SharePoint, Teams, and data analysis tools
• Strong communication, coordination, and stakeholder management skills
