Senior Technical Program Manager, Viceroy

Responsibilities

• Serve as PM of record for the Viceroy Seaglider program. Own the integrated master schedule, budget, and risk posture, and drive the program through PDR, CDR, and toward build and test.
• Develop a bottom-up, credible IMS with mapped cross-functional dependencies and an actively managed critical path. Control changes to the baseline deliberately and transparently.
• Run a living program risk process — owners, mitigations, decision dates — that forces decisions early instead of documenting problems late.

Requirements

• Enough engineering depth to interrogate estimates, dependencies, and test logic across structures, propulsion, and systems — you can't be snowed.

Role Overview

As

Senior Technical

Program Manager, you will own the execution of REGENT's flagship Viceroy Seaglider program - the schedule, the budget, the risks, and the cross-functional machine that turns a vehicle design into reality. You are the single person accountable for how and when the program delivers.

You will partner directly with the Chief Engineer, who owns the vehicle-level technical baseline, in a deliberate split of authority: the CE defines what must be true technically at each milestone; you own delivering it. Together with the VP of Programs, you will drive Viceroy through its major design gates - PDR, CDR - and into build and test.

You'll build and run the program's operating rhythm: the integrated master schedule, the risk and issue process, gate readiness, resource and budget planning, and the reporting that gives leadership an honest picture of where the program stands. You'll also build the program team around you, developing PMO teammates into owners of their own scope.

Success means Viceroy runs on a credible, controlled baseline that every functional lead understands and leadership trusts - and that the program hits its gates without heroics. If you're energized by owning execution on a genuinely new class of vehicle, we'd love to meet you.

Partner with the Chief Engineer

Operate the CE/PM partnership that runs the program: technical authority with the CE, execution authority with you, and a shared definition of gate readiness.

Integrate the Cross-Functional Machine

Align Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Certification behind one plan — including long-lead procurement, test campaigns, and certification evidence flow.

Communicate the Truth

Deliver program statuses that leadership trusts: what's on track, what's at risk, and what decisions or resources are needed — early and without spin.

Program Leadership Through Design Gates

Deep expertise in managing complex hardware development programs, including serving as PM of record for a vehicle-level program or major integrated system through PDR/CDR or equivalent gates.

Schedule and Baseline Rigor

Demonstrated ability to build and maintain an integrated master schedule with a managed critical path, and to re-baseline credibly when reality changes.

Risk Management That Drives Decisions

Track record of running risk processes that changed program outcomes — funded mitigations, descoped content, moved dates — before problems became crises.

Matrix Leadership

Proven ability to drive functional teams that don't report to you, through credibility, crisp decision framing, and disciplined escalation.

Regulated Development Experience

Familiarity with how certification or qualification (FAA, EASA, USCG, class societies, military airworthiness, or comparable) shapes program plans, evidence, and test campaigns.

Collaborative Team Player

You believe great things happen when teams work together. You partner effectively across engineering, manufacturing, certification, and leadership — driving alignment without sacrificing speed.

Creative Problem Solver

You thrive on bringing structure to ambiguity. You don't just track problems — you develop recovery options and force timely decisions.

Adaptable & Agile

In a fast-paced, evolving environment, you balance rigor with speed. You know when to add process and when to simplify.

Innovative Mindset

You're driven by building something that hasn't existed before — and by making the program machine around it better every month.
