What you get to do
The Program Delivery Director is responsible for owning and delivering complex, multi-site programmatic work aligned to a strategic customer. This role exists to ensure successful execution of engineering and production programs from concept through scaled manufacturing, managing complete P&L accountability and driving customer satisfaction. This position has full authority to direct dedicated program resources and coordinate across all Re:Build operating sites, and is accountable for program profitability, schedule performance, quality outcomes, and long-term customer relationships that protect and enable Re:Build's programmatic revenue growth.
This position differs from traditional program management in that it requires business ownership and general management capabilities rather than project management. The Program Delivery Director runs the business management of a program, making tradeoff decisions, solving problems independently, and taking complete ownership of outcomes.
