Job Description Meaningful. Empowering. Remarkable. That's a career at BAE Systems.

BAE Systems is seeking a Program Planning & Scheduling Manager II to lead a team responsible for the management, creation, and maintenance of complex, detailed and resource-loaded program schedules (Integrated Master Plans, IMP, and Integrated Master Schedules, IMS) within a portfolio of similar programs. In this senior management level role as a Program Planning & Scheduling Manager II, you will use your thorough understanding of PM&C (Planning, Monitoring & Control) operations within an EVMS environment and advise programs on appropriate practices. You'll lead in the development, documentation and use of consistent practices, share lessons across the BAE Systems Combat Mission Systems (CMS) Scheduling team, and partner with other functions to integrate relevant aspects of PM&C, including risk management, EVMS and production planning. You'll ensure portfolio team members are trained in CMS and industry program planning practices to authoritatively provide direction to program teams, and work closely with systems and processes teams to develop tools that optimize efficiency and quality of program execution. You will partner with the program decision makers and leadership within their portfolio to ensure they receive timely and actionable schedule intelligence in a repeatable, consistent and easily absorbed manner. The work performed by the team has a direct impact on the quality and timeliness of deliverables to leadership and to the customer, and heavily influences budget forecasting and overall estimates at completion for all projects.

  • Establish, disseminate, and maintain documented common practices for the type of program portfolio they lead. Share practices with scheduling leaders from other programs and portfolios to support a continuous progression of best practices;
  • Engage with the program directors and product leaders to ensure the program planning function is meeting their expectations. Explore other services the program scheduling team could provide to benefit CMS business performance;
  • Support program management tool development and implementation, cross functional working groups, and maintenance of CMS policies and procedures pertaining to planning, monitoring, and control of projects;
  • Maintain and share knowledge of leading-edge technologies and techniques throughout BAE Systems;
  • Communicate schedule and program management guidelines/techniques to program teams;

  • Coordinate and participate in Master Planning & Scheduling development activities including knowledge sharing sessions, group meetings, industry events, etc.;
  • Participate in team and functional activities including training, coworker development, surveillance, tool evaluation, process management, and continuous improvement initiatives;
  • Develop relationships with the schedule stakeholders including internal and external customers.
Required Education, Experience, & Skills
  • Typically requires a Bachelors degree and ten (10) years of related experience;
  • Possess a deep understanding of all scheduling and schedule analysis tools and processes including schedule structures, horizontal/vertical integration, cost/schedule integration, initial schedule and baseline development, resourcing, critical path and SRA analysis, what-if planning, 14-point and EVAS analysis, and customer reporting.
  • Able to quickly master integrated program management processes employed by BAE Systems and apply suitable external practices to realize process improvements;
  • Have an understanding of the applicable integration of schedule, risk, earned value, and production management;
  • Proven continuous improvement / learning mind-set, able to stay informed about developing technologies, practices and opportunities relevant to the programs;
  • Strong interpersonal skills with an ability to influence and work well with others and maintain an openness to other perspectives and ideas;
  • Ability to assemble and present data and multi-faceted matters in a meaningful way to stakeholders outside of the Master Planning & Scheduling team;
  • Able to foster relationships and work and collaborate closely with other functions to optimize processes and maximize the availability of program information to business decision-makers within the bounds of the portfolio type they support;
  • Ability to establish, justify and negotiate schedule support estimates for proposal development;
  • Able to lead the design and implementation of holistic solutions that support the programs in their portfolio with a systems-thinking mind-set and ability to conduct root cause assessments crucial to optimizing outcomes;
  • Possess a thorough understanding of PM/PM&C foundational concepts to ensure their solutions function within that context;
