The Tomahawk Production Acceleration Program Manager will be responsible for managing all efforts associated with accelerating the Production Recert contracts. While reporting directly to the Production Director, the Acceleration PM will work closely with and supplement the Production Program Manager responsibilities with a primary focus on acceleration to maximize contract incentives and get back on schedule.

The Production Acceleration PM will be part of the leadership team responsible for leading the team that achieves the highest combined production and recertification rates in the history of the program.
