Senior Product Program Manager

Senior Product Program Manager

XNRGY Climate Systems is a North American leader in sustainable design and advanced manufacturing of custom air treatment systems. Focused on research and energy development, we contribute to the reduction of carbon footprints across industries. We are excited to announce the opening of our new Technology headquarters in Mesa, Arizona. This expansion reflects our strong commitment to growth and innovation in the climate solutions industry.

The Senior Product Program Manager will play a critical role in strengthening execution across XNRGY's most strategic customer programs. This is a senior, high-impact role responsible for managing multiple complex, multi-project programs tied to a single customer, requiring tight coordination across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and service.

The role operates at the center of execution and accountability, driving alignment across all functions to ensure delivery performance in a fast-scaling and evolving environment. In parallel, this position will contribute to the deployment and operationalization of XNRGY's Product Program Management model, helping to establish governance, discipline, and execution standards across the organization.

The Senior Product Program Manager is accountable for the end-to-end execution of assigned programs from feasibility validation through shipment readiness, ensuring delivery on time, on quality, and within cost expectations. The role acts as the central driver of execution, translating customer commitments into executable plans and ensuring aligned delivery across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and service functions. Operating at the intersection of these teams, the Product PM drives coordination, enforces accountability, and ensures that all deliverables meet the required level of completeness and quality at each stage of the lifecycle.

You will work cross-functionally with Application Engineering, Sales, Finance, Sourcing, Planning, Procurement, Advanced Manufacturing, Product Engineering (Mechanical and Electrical), Supplier Quality (SQA), QHSE, and Site Leadership, as well as the extended manufacturing organization including Logistics, Fabrication (FAB), Assembly, Quality Control, HSE, and Manufacturing Engineering, ensuring seamless integration from design through production execution and final handover.

The role combines horizontal leadership to align stakeholders and drive execution across all functions and vertical authority to challenge deliverables and enforce readiness standards.

Additionally, you will be responsible for validating execution feasibility prior to project release, ensuring that schedule, engineering maturity, and manufacturing constraints are aligned before programs are committed internally.

Key responsibilities include:

• Own execution of multiple complex programs from pre-release validation (G1–G2) through shipment readiness (G6)
• Ensure delivery performance aligned with schedule commitments, product quality standards, and cost expectations (margin protection, not expansion)
• Act as the single point of accountability for execution performance
• Validate execution feasibility before project release, including schedule realism, engineering maturity assumptions, and manufacturing readiness risks
• Lead DFM/DFA and design-for-manufacturability reviews, challenge engineering readiness, and drive early industrialization decisions
• Ensure full readiness for production, including BOM completeness and accuracy, material availability and supply plan alignment, manufacturing work instructions, capacity and resource planning, and QHSE controls and process readiness
• Oversee validation activities: Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), quality inspections, and documentation completeness
• Act as a key partner to site leadership once production begins, supporting resolution of procurement challenges, engineering changes, manufacturing issues and constraints, and facilitating decisions balancing risk, cost, and schedule impacts
• Ensure a complete, accurate, and executable product and documentation package prior to shipment, delivering a zero-surprise handover to Service, including field installation documentation, work instructions and drawings, and test and validation records
• Maintain ownership of product-related deficiencies after shipment, ensuring issues are properly tracked and escalated, corrective actions are assigned and executed by responsible functions, and timely closure without impacting field execution
• Establish and lead program governance at all levels: daily execution alignment, weekly cross-functional coordination, monthly executive reporting, drive prioritization of activities, escalation of risks and constraints, timely cross-functional decision-making, and push, pull, and manage difficult conversations to ensure accountability across all functions
• Support the deployment and continuous improvement of the Product Program Management operating model, contributing to definition of roles and responsibilities, development of governance frameworks, establishment of tools, templates, and reporting structures, and help build execution discipline while simultaneously delivering active programs

First 6 months focus includes stabilizing execution across active strategic programs, establishing strong cross-functional governance and accountability, improving manufacturing readiness and reduce execution variability, strengthening design-to-production transition (Gate 3–4), improving quality and completeness of shipment and service handover, and contributing to the rollout of the Product PM operating model across programs.

We are seeking a senior execution leader with strong experience managing complex, cross-functional programs in a manufacturing or industrial environment. Experience includes 15+ years in program/project management within manufacturing, HVAC, industrial systems, or similar environments, proven experience managing complex, multi-project programs, strong exposure to engineering and product development, manufacturing and industrialization, supply chain and procurement, and experience operating in fast-growth, ambiguous environments.

Core competencies include execution leadership, cross-functional influence, decision-making and judgment, change and systems thinking, and communication and stakeholder management.

The Director, Product Program Management does not own customer relationship management, portfolio prioritization, product strategy or standardization, site execution and commissioning, or formal margin expansion targets. This position is accountable for execution performance and readiness, ensuring the organization delivers on its commitments.

At XNRGY Climate Systems, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We believe that a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives are essential to driving innovation and achieving success. We welcome individuals who share our passion for sustainability and who are eager to contribute to a more positive environmental future.
