VP, ART
Description\:
The Vice President, ART Greensboro is the senior site leader responsible for the successful operation and performance of a business unit generating more than $40 million in annual sales. The role provides integrated leadership across engineering, program management, production, quality, and supply chain. Reporting to the General Manager, Engineering Services, this leader translates business and customer priorities into coordinated operating plans and drives safe, compliant, high-quality, on-time, and financially disciplined execution. The role works in close coordination with the certification and FAA Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) functions to ensure technical and certification requirements are integrated into program planning, execution, and delivery. The site leader also coordinates and collaborates closely with AAR Engineering Services teams in Indianapolis and Singapore to align resources, capabilities, priorities, technical work, and program execution across locations and support work wherever it can be most effectively performed. The Controller retains functional ownership of accounting, financial controls, and financial reporting; however, the site leader is accountable for operational execution, achievement of the approved business plan, and site performance.
