About the role
The Manufacturing Project Manager is responsible for coordinating and tracking the key initiatives required to scale Harris’ manufacturing and supply chain capabilities. This role functions as a central portfolio management resource, helping leadership maintain visibility, accountability, and progress across multiple workstreams, including facility startups, manufacturing modifications, fulfillment center setup, process improvements, data integration, purchasing forecasting, and fabrication estimating. As production scales, this role will also help convert manufacturing opportunities into actionable production plans by coordinating the handoff from business development, estimating, engineering, purchasing, and manufacturing operations. This role does not own the technical solution, manufacturing operations, or supply chain functions, but ensures the right work is being planned, tracked, coordinated, and completed. This role serves as the coordination and accountability function for manufacturing and supply chain scale-up initiatives while ensuring opportunities transition effectively into production execution.
