Job Description

• Lead the planning and execution of multiple product development programs within your assigned experience portfolio, from feasibility through launch and sustaining. • Create and maintain comprehensive program schedules, with dependencies clearly mapped, critical paths identified, and milestones tracked across programs within your portfolio. • Serve as the primary point of accountability for delivery outcomes within your portfolio, ensuring products ship on time and meet defined quality, cost, and performance requirements. • Assess portfolio health holistically, identifying cross-program risks, dependencies, and opportunities to optimize sequencing, resourcing, and learning across launches. • Proactively assess and forecast resourcing needs across Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Product Development, Operations, and external partners for your portfolio. • Identify resourcing constraints, capacity risks, or timeline conflicts early, and elevate them clearly to cross-functional partners, adjacent Program Managers, and leadership to enable informed tradeoffs and prioritization decisions. • Facilitate regular program syncs and executive-level updates, driving accountability and alignment across Engineering, Product, Quality, Supply Chain, and Operations. • Plan and execute engineering build events both domestically and internationally, including creation of Build Plans, Build Matrices, and Clear-to-Build checkpoints. • Partner closely with suppliers to ensure manufacturability, cost targets, quality standards, and readiness for scaling and launch. • Own the escalation and mitigation of technical, schedule, and delivery risks across programs within your portfolio. • Maintain and evolve core product lifecycle documentation, including BOM accuracy, ECO tracking, and change request processes. • Use and help evolve the team’s common program management tools, templates, and documentation standards to ensure consistent execution across the portfolio. • Partner with adjacent PDPMs to align cross-portfolio milestones, capacity constraints, hand offs and decision-making across the broader product roadmap. • Contribute to shared PDPM processes and operating rhythms, including cross-portfolio planning, launch readiness reviews, and standard reporting. • Support the onboarding and evaluation of new manufacturing partners as Mockingbird grows and diversifies its supply chain. • Travel to overseas partners (primarily Asia-based) to support builds, supplier readiness, and launch execution, approximately 3-4x per year.

Job Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or equivalent industry experience.
  • 5+ years in Hardware Program Management for physical consumer products, ideally with international manufacturing partners.
  • Experience managing multiple development cycles in parallel, with complex cross-functional dependencies.
  • Proven success leading program schedules, cost and budget tracking, and risk management processes.
  • Understanding of Agile and Phase-Gate methodologies and how to apply them pragmatically.
  • Experience owning engineering build activities, both on-site and remotely, with international suppliers.
  • Excellent communicator, adept at translating between engineering, operations, product, and executive stakeholders.
  • Strong peer partner — collaborates proactively with other PMs to share learnings, flag risks early, and standardize best practices.
  • Experience applying highly analytical, structured, and deeply organized approaches to drive clear, measurable outcomes.
