About The Position

Aquatech’s Microelectronics business is entering a period of rapid global growth. The Microelectronics Program Manager - Business Execution & Integration supports execution of the Microelectronics global strategy by establishing the structure, coordination, reporting, and accountability needed to turn business priorities into completed actions and measurable results. The role works across engineering, technology, project execution, commercial, supply chain, finance, HR, regional teams, and other Aquatech organizations, primarily through coordination and influence rather than direct authority. The position coordinates internal cross-functional initiatives; develops and maintains implementation schedules; establishes reporting and KPIs; manages organizational interfaces and stakeholder agreements; tracks commitments; and drives follow-through. It applies program- and project-management discipline primarily to internal organizational, strategic, standardization, product-development, and business-improvement initiatives. Customer project managers and functional organizations retain accountability for customer projects and technical deliverables; this role is not a customer project-management or PMO position. During the first six months, priorities include implementing the Microelectronics Global Execution Model; establishing a consistent operating and reporting cadence; and defining organizational interfaces, governance, and accountability across the Microelectronics matrix and partner Aquatech organizations. The role is expected to operate primarily as an individual contributor. It reports to the Vice Presidents of the Microelectronics Business Unit, with one VP designated as the primary day-to-day sponsor and performance-review owner. Aquatech offers a comprehensive benefits package, including paid time off, company-paid holidays, and a 401K plan. Benefits are based on eligibility. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.
