The Production PM will be part of the leadership team responsible for leading the team that achieves the highest combined production and recertification rates in the history of the program.

The leader of Tomahawk production new builds will lead as part of a program strategy that divides the production and recertification efforts between two Associate Directors who will partner effectively to achieve individual contract success, and Tomahawk program success, while managing shared factory resources and leveraging procurement synergies. This position requires proficiency in leading dynamic production problem solving, cross functional teams, managing a high visibility effort, driving communication of project goals/objectives/decisions and results to team, customers, and leadership.
