Program and Operations Manager

10+ years of experience in program management, operations, or cross-functional delivery roles in semiconductors, hardware, or complex technical environments

Proven ability to lead large, multi-stakeholder programs with competing priorities and tight timelines

Strong customer experience orientation: ability to understand customer expectations, manage communications, and drive outcomes that build trust

Excellent executive communication: concise status, clear asks, crisp decision framing, and effective escalation when needed

Strong operational rigor: planning, dependency management, risk management, and follow-through to closure

Comfort operating in ambiguity and creating structure—defining processes, roles, and success metrics where they don’t yet exist

Experience working across international teams, suppliers, and partners with sensitivity to time zones and cultural differences

Semiconductor lifecycle experience (NPI, tapeout-to-ramp, manufacturing readiness, supplier management, quality systems)

Experience building operational dashboards and program health metrics for leadership reviews

Background in process improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, or similar) applied to execution and delivery

Experience managing customer-facing programs, including issue triage, RCA coordination, and communication plans

Programs run with a predictable cadence: clear milestones, owners, and decision-making, with minimal last-minute surprises

Cross-functional teams stay aligned on priorities, dependencies, and tradeoffs—even across multiple sites and time zones

Customer commitments are met with high quality, and communication is proactive, clear, and trusted

Risks are surfaced early and mitigated effectively, improving on-time delivery and reducing execution churn

Operational processes become more repeatable and scalable through documented playbooks, metrics, and continuous improvement

10+ years (scope and ownership will be aligned to experience level).
