Director, Program Management

Summary As part of the GE Aerospace Digital Technology organization supporting the Defense & Systems (D&S) business, the Director, Program Management owns delivery across the Defense and Systems Customer Experience (DSCX) portfolio.

This is a people-leadership role accountable for on-time delivery, program operating rhythms, dependency and risk management, and the scope, schedule, and cost tradeoffs for every program.

This person will lead a team of program and project managers, set the delivery standard, and own the $25+MM CX budget in partnership with Finance and Business Operations.

This person will be the single point of accountability for predictable execution and for escalating early when a dependency or decision threatens delivery.

Job Description

Why This Role Exists DSCX owns 30+ digital products for Defense & Systems. Today our technical product managers wear three hats for their products: product management, project management, and operations.

We are dividing that load across three dedicated functions, and this role will build out the program management discipline, starting with on-time delivery across the portfolio.

This role is planned to have 4-6 direct reports, program and project managers, and owns the $25+MM CX budget with Finance and Business Operations. Your charge is to build standard operating rhythms and artifacts, and then coach and train your team to hold them.

You should be experienced with AI and know where it creates opportunity to expand what the team can deliver. Environment The DSCX portfolio runs primarily on AWS, Palantir Foundry, or through SaaS based 3rd party solutions, with on-premise implementations supported for customers whose data sensitivity requires it.

Delivery runs through Rally and Microsoft Teams and ServiceNow is our system of record for incidents, change, and defect management. The portfolio carries a $25+MM annual budget across the product lines.
