Automotive Program Manager
Novelis Corporation

Job Info

---

Position Overview

The Automotive Program Manager is accountable for both the detailed launch of new automotive supply programs, and for making flawless changes to existing programs. These activities require a cross functional Team working together across the entire Automotive Value Stream, with the Program Manager providing leadership and governance to achieve the targeted result by the required date and within the budgeted cost. Role requires excellent people and leadership skills, as the success of the Program Manager is directly controlled by the ability of the cross-functional Team to execute their assigned tasks in the correct order and at the accurate time. As there is not a direct reporting relationship between the Program managers and their "launch" Teams, this requires the incumbent to use lateral influence to ensure the desired outcome.

At Novelis, our people are our greatest asset. We embrace our diversity to see real world problems through various lenses, and make break-through technology possible. Our family oriented atmosphere encourages and enables employees and their families to give back to their communities through volunteering and working with non-profit partners and local schools towards making communities safer, supporting Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education initiatives and growing recycling by consumers. We operate in a strong encouraging environment with opportunities to be a part of our employee mentorship programs to guide you through your career.
