Description

Product Operations is looking for a Technical Program Manager to help bring groundbreaking products to life within the Vision Products Group. You will join the new product introduction team and partner with cross-functional groups across design, quality, test, and global supply to mature the manufacturing process and drive operational excellence from first build through mass production. This is a role for someone who understands the trade-offs between how a product is designed and how it is built, who can turn production data into decisions, and who can influence technical direction across partners and manufacturing sites, often without formal authority and often from a distance. As you grow in the role, you will look beyond your immediate assignments to shape improvements that benefit the wider organization.
