Position Role Type:

Unspecified

We are seeking an experienced Operations Product Management (OPM) Leader who can move confidently between detailed operational execution and senior-level strategic decision-making. This role offers the opportunity to shape how Operations executes across a significant product and program portfolio. The OPM Leader will work closely with GM, Program, Site and functional leaders and will have broad exposure across the Operations organization. In addition to leading an established team, the successful candidate will help shape and embed the future-state Operations operating model. The OPM Leader will work at the center of Operations and program execution. The role brings together Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Planning, Quality, Finance, Engineering and Program Leadership to ensure commitments are credible, executable and predictable. It provides early visibility into risks and constraints, challenges assumptions before commitments are made, and coordinates timely recovery actions to protect delivery. The goal is to help the organization confidently commit to and deliver against its plans.

Aligned with GM leadership, the role oversees execution performance across a portfolio of products. It provides a consolidated view of execution performance, aligns priorities and supports informed, fact-based decisions at the GM Integrated Product Team (IPT) leadership level. The OPM Leader serves as the escalation point for complex issues that span functions and programs. The role drives alignment and coordinated barrier removal by engaging the appropriate functional owners, assigning clear actions and following through on progress. It does not assume functional accountability for Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Planning, Quality or Finance.

Success in this role requires extensive engagement across the organization and the ability to align functions, programs and sites. The successful candidate will bring together different perspectives to establish a shared, fact-based understanding of operational performance, risk and delivery.

The role does not transfer accountability from Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Planning or Finance. Instead, it integrates their perspectives to establish an aligned view of what the business can credibly commit to and deliver.

The successful candidate will be able to

• Lead complex, cross-functional portfolios in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Turn large volumes of operational information into clear, concise leadership updates.
• Influence stakeholders without relying solely on formal authority.
• Balance competing customer, program and operational requirements.
• Identify risks before they affect delivery.
• Constructively challenge assumptions and commitments.
• Drive accountability without taking ownership of every functional issue.
• Communicate effectively with operational teams and senior executives.
• Develop people and build capability within a globally distributed team.
• Maintain focus and execution discipline amid competing priorities.
• Align functions while maintaining clear accountability for functional owners.
