Technology Industrialization Strategy Sr. Manager

Job Description Summary

The Technology Industrialization Strategy Sr. Manager supports the development and execution of an integrated technology industrialization strategy and roadmap to achieve Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost (SQDC) ambitions for new technologies.

The preference is for this person to sit in Evendale, OH. Open to remote consideration with 50% travel.

This role will industrialize priority next-generation technologies through the development of a structured industrialization playbook and lead the execution of priority initiatives to deploy select technologies in existing or new products. Key focus areas:

• Develop and execute a holistic new technology industrialization strategy, identifying key technologies to be incubated and critical steps to reach industrialization
• Lead cross-functional projects around the industrialization of next-generation technologies ensuring SQDC targets
• Support an integrated roadmap and operating cadence that drives timely decisions, measurable outcomes, and sustained impact across functions

• Work with cross-functional teams to continuously monitor technology landscape and support structured current state reviews (industry structure, economics, exposure, SQDC baselines)
• Develop an assessment methodology for the prioritization of investments and resource allocation across technologies to be scaled
• Translate the industrial base and technology strategy into a prioritized portfolio of initiatives with clear business cases, TRL/MRL targets, investments, owners, and timeline

• Partner with Engineering, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing to align technology options with industrial base options
• Lead structured assessments of baseline capacity, yield/quality, delivery, and cost for the technologies in scope
• Identify critical bottlenecks and constraints to be solved for industrialization and determine targeted actions to close gaps
• Develop optimal strategy and roadmap for technology industrialization through a combination of make/buy/partner levers

• Drive bias for action—shorten decision cycles and deliver measurable SQDC improvements.
• Establish and run decision forums and action reviews (e.g., technology pipeline reviews, value stream reviews, industrialization gates); assign owners, due dates, and success metrics.
• Track milestones, risks, and benefits realization; elevate blockers and reallocate resources as needed.
• Develop and maintain an integrated 1-3-5 year roadmap for select technologies that sequences initiatives, technology deployments, and capacity actions, with clear dependencies and integration points.

• Lead the deployment, coaching, and sustainment of FLIGHT DECK lean operating principles as applied to technology industrialization
• Build dashboards for TTIs and PPIs; monitor trends; implement corrective and preventive actions.
• Conduct monthly operating reviews and quarterly strategy refreshes; update the roadmap based on results.
• Codify lessons learned; update standard work, templates, and playbooks.

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university + 5 years of experience in technology development, strategy, supply chain, or related fields

• 5+ years in aerospace engineering design/development, supply chain, operations, industrial engineering, sourcing, or strategy/transformation within complex manufacturing
• Experience with technology industrialization and scaling: taking new technologies, materials, or processes from development through validation and into production, including supplier and factory readiness.
• Demonstrated analytical and conceptual problem solving; comfort with quantitative analysis and translating complex technology and industrial constraints into clear options and recommendations.
• Excellent communication (written and verbal); ability to influence without authority and work effectively across all levels.
• Familiarity with project/program management, TRL/MRL frameworks, and digital or analytical…
