Job Description:

Role Overview

The Product Lifecycle Management Program Manager (PLC-PM) within Supply Chain Product Operations leads products across their full lifecycle-from New Product Introduction (NPI) through sustainment and end-of-life.

This role ensures products are delivered on schedule, at optimal cost, and with high quality and operational predictability.

As a key cross-functional integrator, the PLC-PM partners with Business Units, Engineering, Manufacturing, Finance, and Quality to align product strategy with execution.

The role serves as a central integration point, translating operational insights into actionable improvements that enhance cost, lifecycle performance, and customer outcomes.

A core focus is building a robust closed-loop feedback system that captures lifecycle lessons learned/best practices and embeds them into future NPI programs.

The PLC-PM also leads initiatives spanning product improvements, process optimization, and cross-functional transformation.

This role supports a diverse product portfolio - from simple to highly complex systems - across both Contract Manufacturer (CM) and Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) environments.

What success looks like


* Predictable, on-time product launches with strong manufacturing readiness and supply chain alignment.


* Proactive risk management, with supply, cost, and lifecycle risks identified early and mitigated before impacting customers or revenue.


* Improved cost performance, including measurable reductions in COGS, PPV, excess & obsolescence (E&O), through early supply chain engagement and design influence.


* Effective cross-functional alignment, where teams operate with clear priorities, accountability, and minimal friction across BU, Engineering, Manufacturing and Supply Chain.
