Technical Program Manager, Supply Chain

About The Role

The Technical Program Manager (TPM) for Supply Chain is responsible for the management of the program information on behalf of the Integrated Supply Chain work package owners.

The TPM will work within the Program Management Office (PMO) to drive the integration and development of the Air Vehicle and monitor overall program progress.

What You'll Do

• Develop, maintain, and communicate the budget, schedule, and product development plans to all stakeholders
• Collaborate with the work package owners to define activities across all supply chain activities: purchasing management, material control, logistics, supplier development, and sales, inventory, and operations planning (SIOP)
• Provide and maintain inputs to the integrated master schedule to enable accurate program metrics and visibility
• Define goals, track deliverables, identify risk, and drive mitigation plans; establish effective tools and dashboards to ensure alignment and accountability across the Supply Chain workflows
• Assess resource requirements and highlight gaps across various stages for all projects
• Coordinate with other TPMs to align priorities, summarizing status, and defining risks, mitigations, and opportunities.
• Manage the project roadmap within the framework of the overall program strategy
• Partner with the Operations department to organize incoming information and help translate it into a clear, repeatable execution rhythm for the Supply Chain team
• Develop, implement, and continuously monitor key performance indicators across all Supply Chain functions to drive operational visibility, identify performance gaps, and ensure alignment with program cost, schedule, and quality objectives

Who You Are

• Systems Thinker in the Making: You’re curious about how the pieces fit together — how a design decision ripples through schedule, budget, and outcomes. You ask smart questions, think ahead, and look for ways to connect dots across teams. You’re developing a strong sense of the bigger system and eager to grow into a role that helps keep it all in sync.
• Ownership Mindset: You take responsibility for your work — tracking details, managing deliverables, and staying on top of commitments. You keep things organized, understand how your area impacts the larger program, and use that awareness to support sound decisions and smooth execution
• Problem Solver: You don’t wait to be told what’s next. You take initiative, follow through, and look for ways to make progress. When challenges arise, you dig in, ask the right questions, partner with the right experts, and help find solutions that keep things moving forward.
• Strong Connector & Communicator: You help information flow — coordinating between teams, following up on actions, and ensuring everyone has what they need to deliver. You listen carefully, communicate clearly, and build trust through reliability and attention to detail.
• Adaptable & Steady: When things shift, you stay composed and flexible. You focus on priorities, learn quickly, and adjust plans without losing momentum. You’re comfortable in a fast-moving environment and see change as an opportunity to learn and improve.
