• Review and consolidate large sets of documents (including 20+ page reports) into clear, action-oriented summaries for leadership.
• Stay 3–4 weeks ahead of milestones, tracking risks, gaps, and upcoming deliverables.
• Lead and support APQP/PPAP alignment for key program milestones.
• Partner with cross-functional teams and supplier leadership to drive issue resolution and continuous improvement.

• Analyze performance data and translate insights into recommended actions.

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• Proven Program or Project Management experience—preferably in automotive, manufacturing, or supplier management.
• Ability to read, understand, and distill complex documents into concise summaries.
• Strong PowerPoint & Excel skills (tracking, reporting, dashboards).
• Highly self-motivated—someone who anticipates needs, digs into data, and stays ahead without waiting for direction.
• Experience with interior commodities, supplier readiness, or launch programs is a big plus.
• Background in manufacturing, quality, APQP/PPAP, or supplier crisis management is helpful.

Nice-to-Have

• Understanding of quality and operational expectations (Q1, launch readiness, etc.).
• Experience supporting vehicle launch programs or supplier development initiatives.
