Job Description

Seeking an experienced, results-driven Program Manager to lead complex, high-value programs within the Aerospace and Defense (A&D) sector. The successful candidate will manage and execute strategic programs across defense, aerospace, and related technology markets, ensuring delivery excellence, cost control, and operational efficiency.

This position requires a seasoned professional with a strong background in government contracting, DFARS / FAR compliance, supply-chain management, and cross-functional program execution across engineering, manufacturing, and operations. The Program Manager will be responsible for meeting all contractual, cost, schedule, and performance objectives while maintaining disciplined communication, program control, and regulatory compliance throughout the organization. This position requires periodic travel to customer sites, manufacturing facilities, and partner locations. The ideal candidate will possess :

  • Proven program management experience in defense, aerospace, and supply chain operations.
  • Strong record of delivering complex projects on time and within budget.
  • Proactive problem-solver with the ability to anticipate challenges, resolve issues, and ensure successful delivery.
  • Natural leader with self-starting instincts and the ability to work independently.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead all phases of aerospace and defense programs from kickoff through delivery, ensuring scope, cost, schedule, and performance goals are met.
  • Define program objectives, strategies, and detailed execution plans encompassing scope, timeline, budget, and resource management.
  • Coordinate multidisciplinary teams across engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and commercial operations.
  • Serve as the primary customer interface with government agencies, defense primes, and commercial clients—maintaining communication, managing expectations, and providing clear updates.
  • Manage programs in full compliance with FAR, DFARS, and government contracting standards; oversee modifications, deliverables, and subcontractor flow-downs.
  • Apply mechanical, electrical, and fabrication expertise to interpret requirements and shape tailored solutions.
  • Oversee secure, compliant transport and storage systems supporting complex A&D supply chains.
  • Track milestones and budgets, identify risks early, and implement corrective actions to ensure on-time, on-spec delivery.
  • Support proposal development, Statements of Work (SOWs), cost estimates, and customer presentations that demonstrate technical and operational value.
  • Manage internal resources and external vendors for performance, compliance, and delivery quality.
  • Maintain organized program documentation and provide executive briefings and progress reports.
  • Address technical and operational challenges in dynamic environments while maintaining compliance and customer satisfaction.
  • Qualifications / Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field required.
  • Minimum of 10 years of progressive program management experience within the aerospace and defense industry. Experienced and comfortable interacting with leading Tier 1 aerospace and defense companies.
  • Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification preferred.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen
  • Proven success managing complex, multi-stakeholder programs involving engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain elements.
  • Experience with DoD acquisition processes and federal acquisition regulations (FAR / DFARS).
  • Demonstrated experience managing direct U.S. Government contracts and subcontracts with major defense prime contractors.
  • Experience with aerospace and defense logistics and transportation systems and operations
  • Familiarity with airworthiness certification documentation and processes.
  • Background in aerospace structures programs, including knowledge of structural-analysis tools such as finite-element analysis (FEA) and CFD and thermal analysis,
  • Ability to evaluate engineering issues, contribute to design reviews, and translate technical requirements into actionable program plans.
  • Strong working knowledge of FAR, DFARS, government contracting practices, ITAR, and export-control regulations.
  • Proficiency with program-management tools such as Microsoft Project, Jira, or equivalent.
  • Supporting programs or projects at a client facility (like a DoD base, defense prime site, or manufacturing partner).
  • Participating in design reviews, inspections, or integration / testing activities on-site.
  • Strong English communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey technical and subject-matter information.
  • Create a job alert for this search
