About us

The Technical Program Management (TPM) team oversees end to end delivery of New Product Introduction (NPI) projects. The TPM assesses project complexity, allocates resources, and drives cross‑functional engineering alignment through structured checkpoints, weekly reviews, and close collaboration with Operations. They manage CAPEX, ensure functional milestones are met, and navigate a fast‑paced environment to deliver optimal, timely solutions. TPMs are proactive team players who steer coordination, make tough decisions, and support DF(X) and design‑to‑cost initiatives to achieve project goals.

About the role

• Lead a team of NPI project managers across multiple categories globally.

• Drive enterprise level cost saving initiatives spanning manufacturing, engineering, tooling, paint, and test functions.

• Act as primary contacts for major cost-saving projects at the enterprise level.

• Strategize and resource global manufacturing NPD (New Product Development) delivery, ensuring TPMs support each project.

• Provide technical guidance and coaching for the TPM team.

• Success requires a collaborative, proactive mindset—no strict boundaries, always ready to exceed expectations.
