About the role

The Program Planning & Scheduling (PPS) Pillar Leader is a key member of the Edison Works team, responsible for leadership of the Integrated Master Scheduling (IMS) team in support of development programs within the Program Management Office (PMO).

As the pillar evolves, you may also help stand up new planning and scheduling teams in adjacent areas — for example, Line of Balance (LoB) / Hardware Management System (HMS) and Agile daily management — as illustrative of how this role can expand with business needs. Further, you will set and manage the vision and mission for program planning and scheduling support throughout GE Aerospace.
