We're looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager who knows how to turn complex plans into finished products and take a project across the finish line. In this hands-on role, you'll bring teams together, remove roadblocks, and drive the transition from final design into production and customer delivery. If you bring technical understanding, clear communication, and the initiative to keep people and priorities moving, we'd like to hear from you.
Position Summary The Senior Project Manager leads assigned projects from final design through high-volume production, delivery, and ongoing field support, ensuring quality standards, customer requirements, and delivery timelines are met. This role partners with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Operations to improve production workflows, guide design for manufacturability, integrate product revisions, and resolve technical issues and risks that affect production. The Senior Project Manager also establishes scalable project and service processes, maintains accurate documentation, and provides clear, data-driven communication to internal teams and customers.
Key Responsibilities:- Partner with Manufacturing and Operations to continue the development and refine the production ecosystem required to maintain new orders of the assigned project.
