Join Bevi, a fast-growing company focused on sustainability and innovation. As the Director of Program Management, you will lead the central PMO, overseeing new product introduction programs from concept to launch. You will coach and develop a team of program managers, set the standard for NPI programs, and directly manage one of the most important NPI programs. This is a hands-on leadership role that requires experience in program management, familiarity with Agile methods, and a background in hardware products.

Lead and develop a team of program managers running complex, cross-functional hardware programs, setting the standard for how Bevi runs NPI programs.
