About The Position

At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling – to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world. The Tomahawk Production Acceleration Program Manager will be responsible for managing all efforts associated with accelerating the Production Recert contracts. While reporting directly to the Production Director, the Acceleration PM will work closely with and supplement the Production Program Manager responsibilities with a primary focus on acceleration to maximize contract incentives and get back on schedule. The Production Acceleration PM will be part of the leadership team responsible for leading the team that achieves the highest combined production and recertification rates in the history of the program. The quickly expanding customer base, both DoD and FMS, and the timing of the fielded Blk IV weapon’s 15-year recert cycle, is driving a factory capacity ramp that will nearly triple the current throughput expectation of the Tomahawk factories. The leaders of Tomahawk production new builds will lead as part of a program strategy that divides the production and recertification efforts between three Associate Directors who will partner effectively to achieve individual contract success, and Tomahawk program success, while managing shared factory resources and leveraging procurement synergies.

This role offers a unique opportunity to be a key leader on an effort that answers an unprecedented resurgence in demand for one of the most recognizable franchise programs at Raytheon and one of the most successfully combat proven weapon systems ever. An optimal candidate will have experience in production and supply base acceleration, earned value implementation, building customer relationships, and experience in effectively managing and adapting program cadence for successful execution This is an onsite position at our Tucson, AZ facility. Relocation assistance is NOT available currently.
