Archer's Digital Transformation Office owns the end-to-end lifecycle for new site readiness and network deployment, getting each new Archer location operational on schedule. The Staff / Sr. Staff TPM owns the program execution for all of it.

This is first and foremost a technical program management role. You do not need to be an engineer in any of these domains. You need to be an exceptional TPM who can stand up structure where there is none, orchestrate specialists and vendors, and keep complex, interdependent programs prioritized, governed, and moving. The center of gravity is new site infrastructure setup, IT, networking, and platform engineering, with InfoSec as a secondary focus. Working fluency in these domains lets you coordinate the experts credibly; depth is something you partner for, not something you are hired to personally provide.

What You'll Do

• Own the end-to-end infrastructure program plan for each new site, sequencing facilities, power, network, and buildout milestones against operational launch targets with the Facilities, Real Estate, and Construction partners who own each discipline.
• Coordinate network deployment from design through cutover, LAN/WAN, ISP provisioning, access control, and security systems, by orchestrating IT and network engineers and vendors; you own the plan, the dependencies, and the integration.
• Manage vendor and contractor execution for cabling, hardware installation, and network testing as a program of work: scope, schedule, and acceptance.
• Define and drive the Day-1 readiness checklist across IT, facilities, HR, and Operations, coordinating systems cutover, end-user device provisioning, and communications activation for each launch.
• Lead on-the-ground program coordination during site launch, with on-site presence at critical milestones, and run post-launch retrospectives that feed the playbook.
• Track and escalate infrastructure dependencies, permitting risks, and vendor delivery gaps across 6–10+ concurrent workstreams.
• Build and maintain a reusable, versioned site infrastructure playbook, and apply DTO PMO standards (intake SLA, status reporting, RAID) as the primary contact for site readiness status and leadership reporting.

What You Need

• 10+ years of technical program management experience leading complex, cross-functional programs end to end.
• Proven track record managing 6+ concurrent, interdependent workstreams with hard operational deadlines.
• Demonstrated ability to establish governance and drive alignment in matrixed organizations with no prior structure, building program plans, RAID logs, and readiness dashboards in fast-moving environments.
• Working knowledge of new site infrastructure setup, IT systems, networking, and platform engineering, enough to coordinate engineers and vendors and hold delivery accountable through design, deployment, and cutover. Hands-on engineering depth is not required.
• Familiarity with network and platform concepts that recur across site buildouts: LAN/WAN, ISP onboarding, access control, enterprise Wi-Fi, end-user device provisioning, and core IT services.
• Strong executive communication, able to distill complex programs into crisp leadership narratives.
• Comfort and readiness for active domestic and international travel; on-the-ground site presence is a defining feature of this role.

Bonus Qualifications

• Working familiarity with InfoSec fundamentals, identity and access control, network security, and endpoint posture, sufficient to fold security requirements into deployment plans and coordinate with the Security team.
• Experience coordinating network, platform, or IT infrastructure deployments in a physical site context.
• Experience standing up new offices, hangars, manufacturing facilities, or technical labs from greenfield.
• Background in aerospace, defense, manufacturing, or hardware-adjacent industries.
• Exposure to PLM, MES, or engineering systems in a manufacturing or R&D context.
• International site launch or expansion experience.
• PMP, SAFe, or equivalent TPM certification.
