Some project management roles are about owning one project from start to finish. This one gives you a seat across an entire portfolio of technical programs.
Swoon is working with an industry-leading engineering and manufacturing company that’s adding a Project/Program Manager to support its New Source Introduction (NSI) portfolio. This person will work directly with program leadership, engineering teams, strategy leads, and project managers to understand where programs stand, bring the right information to the surface, and help leadership make informed decisions across the portfolio.
It’s a strong opportunity for someone with a technical project management background who wants broader exposure to how engineering and manufacturing programs are managed at the portfolio level.
Responsibilities:
- Track project status and key deliverables across a portfolio of New Source Introduction initiatives
- Prepare project data, documentation, and updates for recurring portfolio reviews
- Mine, extract, and organize program data using Excel and Power BI to give leadership visibility into project performance
- Facilitate project meetings with engineering, strategy, program management, and business partners
- Maintain and archive project review documentation and ensure critical program information is organized and accessible
- Present reports, project status, and findings to stakeholders and leadership
- Analyze project needs across technology, resources, production, and timelines to support planning and execution
Must-Haves:
- 5+ years of Project or Program Management experience within a technical environment
- Experience supporting engineering, manufacturing, production, or other technically complex programs
- Strong Excel skills with experience extracting, organizing, and analyzing project data
- Experience with Microsoft Project, PowerPoint, and Visio
- Strong meeting facilitation, stakeholder communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills
- Ability to independently manage priorities and work across multiple teams and initiatives
- Ability to work onsite five days per week in Lafayette, IN or Mossville, IL
Nice to Have:
- 4-year degree in a STEM field
- Engine or large-scale manufacturing experience
You do not need to already live in Indiana or Central Illinois. The team is open to candidates who are interested in relocating to either Lafayette or the Peoria/Mossville area for the opportunity.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond managing individual project tasks and gain exposure to the bigger picture, how technical programs are evaluated, reviewed, prioritized, and moved forward across an engineering organization.
If you’re looking to build deeper experience in technical program management and engineering operations, let’s talk. If your background aligns and you’re local or open to relocation, we encourage you to apply.
