About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to partner with HFTC Operations leadership in developing the organization and driving its operating rhythm and business priorities.
This role requires a strong organizational development leader who can anticipate what the organization and leadership team need, create the mechanisms to address it, and drive the work forward without waiting for direction. The individual will help strengthen the leadership team, develop organizational capabilities and operating practices, and ensure the organization stays ahead of its people, planning, and execution needs.
The ideal candidate combines deep organizational development expertise with relevant engineering and manufacturing experience, strong business judgment, and the ability to operate independently in ambiguity. Success requires someone senior enough to serve as a strategic thought partner to leadership while also taking ownership of the work required to turn ideas into sustained organizational change.
