About The Position

At RTX, the Operations Product Manager (OPM) ensures predictable execution performance across an assigned Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), Line of Balance (LoB), or program segment. Operating within the RTX Lifecycle Program Management (RLPM) framework, the OPM is the central operations integrator, driving readiness, risk mitigation, recovery planning, and cross-functional execution alignment. The role works through Production, Supply Chain, Quality, Engineering, and Program Management teams to meet quality, schedule, cost, and operational performance commitments.
