PROGRAM MANAGER
About the role
Ghost Robotics is the industry leader in legged robotic systems that help our customers solve complex operational, national security, and technical challenges to save lives, reduce harm, and improve outcomes. The Program Manager reports to the VP, Program Management Office (PMO) and works closely with Business Development, Engineering, Operations, Finance, and other teams across Ghost Robotics. This is a highly cross-functional role spanning opportunity shaping, capture and proposal development, partner and customer engagement, and program execution. The successful candidate will be comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where requirements, acquisition strategies, contracting mechanisms, and program structures may not yet be fully defined. In the near term, the role will focus heavily on supporting and leading major RFI/RFP/RFQ responses, proposals, white papers, and strategic partner opportunities. As opportunities transition to contract award, the Program Manager will assume increasing responsibility for program execution, delivery, customer/partner coordination, risk management, and cross-functional execution.
