Program Integrator - H-1

Description

The H-1 Program Integrator supports the H‑1 Program Director by coordinating cross-functional activities and ensuring leadership receives accurate, aligned, and decision-ready information. This role integrates inputs across production, engineering, sustainment, finance, contracts, and international teams, preparing leadership for internal and external engagements.

About the role

This role demands a proactive daily approach through communication and the discipline to operate with minimal direction across a complex, multi-customer program. Success in this role is defined by anticipation. Knowing what leadership will need before they ask, identifying problems before they surface in reviews, and keeping the program one step ahead of its challenges.

Responsibilities

• Maintain a proactive daily approach by beginning each day with an active scan of program health across schedule, cost, open actions, and customer commitments, and brief the Program Director with a current situational picture.
• Anticipate preparation needs for upcoming reviews, customer engagements, and leadership forums; begin staffing inputs well in advance of deadlines.
• Prepare executive-ready briefs and talking points that clearly communicate: Help Needed/Decision Required, Problem, Root Cause (Why), Risk/Impact, and Mitigation.
• Apply sound judgment to identify issues early, clarify inconsistencies, and drive actions that ensure the information prepared for leadership is complete, accurate, and aligned with program objectives.
• Validate and query cross-functional data, resolve IPT discrepancies, and ensure the data tells a clear, leadership-ready story.
• Prepare leaders for customer/partner engagements with aligned messaging and verified data.
• Facilitate the full spectrum of monthly program reviews: IPT-level functional reviews, Program-level reviews (MORs, QBRs, Strategic Reviews, SLT updates, Program Town Halls, and internal PMRs), and Military Fielded Program reviews aligned to USMC operational and sustainment requirements.
• Validate completeness and consistency of cross-functional inputs, challenge assumptions and close gaps ahead of every leadership forum.
• Manage action trackers, risk/issue logs, SharePoint documentation standards, and coalesce for historical tracking.
• Manage stakeholder relationships internally and externally, including IPT leads, functional managers, executive leadership, USG/NAVAIR, and international military customers.
• Respond to RFIs from Textron Washington Office and Bell Sales & Strategy in a timely manner with vetted program data.
• Work with USG and international partners to plan and execute successful customer and supplier engagements as required.
• Represent the Program Director in internal meetings and working groups as delegated.
• Career development opportunities and professional growth.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree required.
• 5 years of experience in aerospace/defense, military programs, or program/project operations (U.S. Government/DoD or defense contractor experience strongly preferred).
• Experience preparing executive content and supporting complex technical or schedule-driven programs.
• Prior USMC officer service strongly preferred.
• H-1 platform familiarity or rotary-wing aviation background is a significant differentiator.
• Experience in a joint, interagency, or foreign military sales environment is a plus.
• Ability to build strong working relationships with internal leadership, Team Viper/Venom partners, and USG/NAVAIR/International teams.
• Strong organization, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple priorities under time pressure.
• Ability to work autonomously, anticipate leadership needs, and deliver accurate, decision-ready information.
• Working knowledge of Earned Value Management (EVM) and Integrated Master Schedules (IMS) preferred.
• Ability to travel as required (e.g., quarterly domestic and international).
