Director, Program Management
Position Summary & Responsibilities
Bevi is on a mission to transform how beverages are delivered and consumed. Our connected beverage platform eliminates the need for single-use bottles and cans, making it easy, fun, and sustainable to stay hydrated. As the category leader in IoT-enabled beverage technology, we're building a future where Bevi machines are everywhere people live, work, and connect. We've raised over $160M in venture capital, serve thousands of customers across the US, Canada, UK and Ireland, and we've been rapidly growing year over year, saving over 1 billion bottles from waste. In addition to driving hypergrowth with our current product line, Bevi is heavily investing in new product development.
We are hiring a Director of Program Management to lead Bevi's central PMO. The PMO runs our new product introduction (NPI) programs from concept to launch. The team includes five program managers and sits in Operations, reporting to the COO.
This is a leadership role and a hands-on one. You will lead and develop the team, set the standard for how Bevi runs hardware programs, and run one of our most important NPI programs yourself. Our goal is to reduce our NPI cycle time with a higher predictability and quality. This role is central to getting there.
Your Day to Day
Lead the PMO
- Lead, coach and grow a team of program managers running complex, cross-functional hardware programs.
- Set the standard for how Bevi runs NPI programs and hold the team to it.
- Own Bevi's phase gate process. Each gate ends in a clear go, no-go or recycle decision, and open items carry forward with owners.
Run programs well
- Lead by example, taking on NPI programs directly as needed while building the team.
- Make sure every program has an aggressive, credible schedule that the team believes in and that is updated every week.
- Name risks early, assign owners and track the inputs that drive them: drawings, test results, open decisions and supplier dates.
- Base status on evidence (test data, released drawings, placed POs), not verbal updates. Raise issues before dates are missed, with options.
- Get the right people in the room to make decisions, and log them.
- Report program status to the leadership team and the Board.
Work across the company
- Partner with Product, Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, Sourcing, Se
