• Partner with program technical leadership to define vehicle scope, investment requirements and variable costs. Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, and quality teams to establish the key technical and industrial assumptions for each program.
• Evaluate inputs from cross-functional teams for completeness, accuracy, supporting rationale, and overall business reasonableness.
• Partner with Finance teams to develop vehicle business cases and align financial assumptions and status.
• Manage the agendas, presentation materials, and follow-up actions for vehicle-segment leadership (GPC3) reviews and program steering committee meetings. Document decisions, action items, owners, and timing following key meetings.
• Monitor program health throughout development, launch, and ongoing production, with particular attention to milestone achievement, financial performance, risks, and required leadership decisions.
