Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) is modernizing its foundational Product Data Management (PDM), Manufacturing Execution System (MES), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ER&P) systems; enhancing its data strategies; and improving alignment of its execution processes via the Sapphire program — a joint effort between BDS and Boeing Information Digital Technology & Security (IDT&S).

We are seeking a seasoned Program Execution Lead to drive consistent, disciplined execution and continuous improvement across this large, complex transformation.

In joining the team, you will have a specific focus on owning solution-level planning and execution for Sapphire, maintaining roadmaps and the Architectural Runway, prioritizing the solution backlog, preparing and driving Planning Interval (PI)/Solution Planning, resolving cross‑Integrated Project Planning (IPT) dependencies, and providing clear decision-support to leadership.

  • Lead, coach, and reinforce adoption of the Program Execution Playbook, program management best practices, and standard ways of working

  • Support program decision‑making by synthesizing key insights, surfacing risks, and ensuring clear, timely communication

  • Promote Agile behaviors, including iteration planning discipline, backlog hygiene, and effective cross‑team collaboration

  • Coordinate or facilitate cross‑functional solution‑level planning and alignment ceremonies as needed

  • Maintain a clear intent/vision and an Architectural Runway view for major solutions

  • Ensure solution‑level roadmaps are defined, feasible, and aligned to business objectives

  • Prioritize capabilities and manage the solution‑level backlog in partnership with Proprietary Information of Others (PIO), architects, IPTs, and functional Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)

  • Facilitate collaboration across PIO, architects, IPTs, and SMEs to maintain alignment on execution and priorities

  • Provide the PIO with a real‑time, accurate view of risks, constraints, and trade‑offs

  • Support PI/Solution Planning by providing the upfront structure and clarity needed to make planning effective

  • Track and communicate program‑level Statement of Work (SOW) prioritization and status

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):

  • 5+ years of experience leading or managing projects that involved cross-functional or cross-business unit teams

  • Experience with Agile program management principles

  • Experience mentoring, coaching, guiding, and leading teams

  • Experience using strong analytical and problem solving skills

  • Experience in a role that required excellent communication, project management, presentation, and facilitation skills

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

  • 10 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher

  • Experience influencing and building relationships with stakeholders and senior leaders across functions and/or programs

  • Experience developing and maintaining relationships and partnerships with senior management, customers, stakeholders, peers and partners

  • Experience delivering large-scale, cross-functional digital transformation programs, preferably in defense, aerospace, or other highly regulated industries

  • Experience working with solutioning and implementation of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)/ERP Systems or any large Enterprise System

  • Experience with Product Data Manager (PDM), Manufacturing Execution System (MES), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementations and integrations, including data migration and system-of-record considerations

  • Experience owning solution roadmaps, Architectural Runway, and PI/Solution Planning at scale (Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) or similar frameworks)
