This leader will own the global PM operating model, portfolio governance, execution cadence, and cross-functional delivery across critical programs tied to sourcing strategy, manufacturing readiness, NPI, VAVE/cost reduction, automation, process improvement, factory transitions, and special strategic projects. The need for this elevated role is supported by the current PM scope, which already includes global launches, factory ramps, program governance, Power BI dashboards, Smartsheets, JIRA/NPI handoff, launch frameworks, manufacturing readiness, and manufacturing ramp programs.
