Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• Finding a Way Through: Every program hits walls, a blocked integration, a stalled approval, a stakeholder who has gone quiet. You treat “stuck” as a puzzle, not a status: you find the workaround, the right person, or the reframe that gets things moving again.
• Systematic Project Planning: Run the project plan as a living system — milestones, dependencies, owners, and risks mapped and always current — so senior Program Managers and stakeholders know exactly where a program stands and what is coming next.
• Stakeholder Expectation Management: Understand what each stakeholder — OEM Account Executives, engineering, product marketing, clients — actually needs versus what they are asking for, and keep everyone’s expectations aligned with reality. Early bad news always beats late surprises.
• Everyday Negotiation: Negotiate constantly — timelines with engineering, scope with clients, priorities across teams — looking for the trade that leaves both sides better off, not the compromise that leaves both worse.
• High EQ, On Purpose: Read the room. Sense frustration before it becomes escalation, adapt your communication style to each audience, and stay composed when a program gets messy — because it will.
• Reporting & Data Analysis: Build and maintain operational reports and data analyses for OEM clients and Account Executives, turning raw data into insights that help mK sell and retain business.
• Meeting Preparation & Support: Prepare the data, materials, and pre-reads for business review meetings with manufacturers; attend alongside senior Program Managers and present designated sections as you build experience.
• Learning & Continuous Improvement: Learn and apply Lean/Toyota Production System (TPS) principles in daily work; maintain risk logs and status reports, flagging emerging issues early rather than hoping they resolve themselves.

Who can apply

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering with a strong background in programming and MBA in Operations Management
• 2+ years of experience in program/project management, ideally within the automotive industry or SaaS applications.
• Proven ability to build and run a systematic project plan — breaking work down, mapping dependencies, assigning owners, and keeping the plan honest as reality shifts.
• Demonstrated ability to manage the expectations of multiple stakeholders with competing priorities — clients, engineering, and leadership — without losing anyone’s trust.
• A resourceful problem-navigator with a track record of getting things unstuck — finding the right person, the creative workaround, or the missing piece of information — and quick to learn new systems.
• High emotional intelligence: self-awareness, empathy, and composure under pressure — you notice how people are feeling and factor it into how you work.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate between technical and business audiences.
• Experience with project management tools such as SmartSheet, Jira, Asana, or Monday.com .
• Strong negotiation skills, comfortable trading scope, time, and priorities at every level, and able to hold a position without damaging a relationship.
• PMP, Agile, or Scrum certifications are a plus.
