Description
At Microboard, we're not just making products-we're powering innovation in the aerospace, defense, and medical device industries. As a Program Manager , you'll be the go-to person for some of our most exciting and high-impact customers. You'll lead projects from start to finish, build relationships that last, and collaborate with top-tier teams to deliver on what we promise. This is a role for someone who's ready to grow fast, make a real difference, and have their voice heard.
What You'll Do
You'll be the face of the project.
You'll own the full customer experience-from planning and communication to making sure everything stays on track and under budget. This includes:

• Managing all things financial, operational, and customer-related for your assigned accounts.
• Being the primary point of contact for customers-answering questions, solving problems, and celebrating wins.
• Translating customer needs internally so our teams stay aligned and on mission.
• Tracking and improving performance metrics like quality, delivery times, and inventory.
• Helping identify and grow new business opportunities through relationships and trust.
• Negotiating contracts and ensuring compliance.
• Owning program schedules and working cross-functionally with engineering, supply chain, and production teams.

You'll Also Get To:

• Lead program reviews and present results to customers and our leadership team.
• Guide internal teams to deliver what was promised-on time, every time.
• Manage risks, clear roadblocks, and find creative solutions.
• Monitor material, tooling, and testing needs to prevent delays.
• Handle change orders and make sure updates are smoothly communicated and executed.

You'll Thrive Here If You:

• Are a natural leader who loves problem-solving and connecting the dots.
• Communicate clearly and confidently-with customers, teams, and execs.
• Like to work at a fast pace and pivot quickly when priorities shift.
• Believe in building strong relationships, not just checking boxes.
• Have a proactive mindset and are ready to own your work.

You'll Need:

• 4+ years of experience in project, business, or operations management (bonus points if you've worked in contract manufacturing or highly regulated industries).
• A Bachelor's degree (Engineering, Business, or related field). MBA is a plus.
• Solid experience with ERP systems (Infor a plus!) and Microsoft Office tools.
• Confidence reading engineering drawings and navigating complex product builds.
• Familiarity with GAAP, supply chain strategy, and forecasting.

Certifications That Help (But Aren't Required):

• PMP or CPIM

Why This Role Rocks
This is not a "stay-in-your-lane" kind of job. You'll have autonomy, visibility, and the opportunity to shape how we serve customers and grow as a business. And if you're aiming for career growth, this role is a launchpad-top performers are on track for Senior Program Manager or beyond.
Bonus Stuff

• Comfortable, modern office space
• Regular company events and celebrations
• Work with a purpose-driven team that values impact and collaboration
• Opportunities for mentorship, learning, and leadership development
• You're not just a number-your voice matters here.
