Full Job Description
With operations already underway across multiple locations and an ambitious expansion ahead, we are seeking an experienced Sr. Program Manager to lead complex site launches from pre-construction through operational readiness. In this role, you will own the end-to-end launch plan for assigned sites, manage the risks and dependencies that stand between the current state and a successful launch, and drive continuous improvement of the launch process as Prime Air scales its revolutionary delivery system.

This role requires sound judgment in ambiguous environments, strong business acumen, and an exceptional bias for action. You are an effective written and verbal communicator and can navigate competing priorities across a complex organization with high visibility to customers and stakeholders.
