Manufacturing Program Manager
GTA East, ON | Full-Time | Permanent | $90,000 - $120,000 + Benefits
Own the Customer. Own the Program. Own the Outcome.
This is not a project coordinator role.
This is an opportunity to become the central point of leadership for complex manufacturing programs supporting world-class OEM customers across aerospace, defence, robotics, medical devices, transportation, and industrial markets.
You'll sit at the intersection of customers, engineering, production, quality, purchasing, and supply chain — ensuring programs move seamlessly from quote handoff through production, delivery, and long-term account growth.
If you enjoy solving problems, driving accountability, building relationships, and seeing your work move from concept to reality on the shop floor, this role offers the visibility and ownership rarely found in traditional manufacturing environments.
What You'll Be Responsible For
Managing strategic customer programs from launch through production and delivery
Acting as the primary point of contact for customers and key stakeholders
Leading cross-functional execution across Engineering, Production, Quality, Purchasing, and Shipping
Monitoring schedules, risks, costs, and overall program performance
Driving accountability and ensuring critical issues are resolved quickly
Supporting new product introductions, prototype builds, and production launches
Leading customer meetings and internal program reviews
Identifying opportunities for continuous improvement and operational excellence
What We're Looking For
PMP Certification (Required)
5+ years of Program Management experience within a manufacturing environment
Strong understanding of production, scheduling, quality systems, and customer-facing operations
Ability to manage multiple programs simultaneously without losing sight of the details
Advanced Excel and ERP/MRP experience
Strong communication, leadership, and problem-solving abilities
Preferred Industry Experience
Aerospace
Defence
CNC Machining
Precision Manufacturing
Metal Fabrication
Automation
Robotics
Mechanical Assemblies
Custom Manufacturing
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Direct exposure to executive leadership and major customer accounts
High level of ownership and autonomy
Complex, technically challenging manufacturing programs
Opportunity to influence business performance and customer success
Growing organization with a strong reputation in advanced manufacturing
Comprehensive benefits package and long-term career growth
If you're looking for an opportunity where you can make a measurable impact and become a key contributor to both customer success and operational performance, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
