Backed by advanced technology, lifecycle services and an industry-leading field organization, we elevate customer performance, turn goals into real-world results and help move society forward.\nRole Overview\nLeads manufacturing readiness and operational launch for new products within an assigned domain or region. As leader of manufacturing team members on core product development teams, the role ensures new products can be produced safely, reliably, and at the required quality, rate, cost, and lead time.\nThe role leads a dedicated NPI team and directs the extended manufacturing teams supporting product development and launch. It works with Product Management, Engineering, Procurement, Supply Chain, Quality, Finance, and plant leadership to shape manufacturing requirements early, secure the capabilities and resources needed for launch, and address risks before they affect customers or operations. Its value is faster, more predictable launches, stable production ramps, and manufacturing capability that supports sustained growth\nKEY ACCOUNTABILITIES\nNew Product Manufacturing Plan \nDefines and delivers the manufacturing plan for each new product. Ensures the product can be produced safely and reliably at the required quality, rate, and cost, with the necessary process, equipment, capacity, investment, and make-or-buy decisions in place.\nGate Decisions and Launch Readiness\nDefines manufacturing requirements for each RCLP gate. Confirms critical gaps are closed or have approved recovery plans, and makes or escalates the manufacturing go/no-go recommendation.\nSupplier and Material Readiness \nEnsures supplier capability and material availability support prototype, validation, launch, and ramp requirements. Escalates sourcing, qualification, lead-time, capacity, or continuity risks through the appropriate authority.\nPlant and Workforce Readiness\nEnsures each receiving plant is ready to produce the new product. Confirms the manufacturing process, equipment, materials, systems, standard work, staffing, and NPI-specific training are in place before launch.\nLaunch and Ramp Performance \nDelivers first production, ramp, and stable operating performance against agreed safety, quality, delivery, cost, and capacity expectations. Resolves launch issues and completes the handoff to normal operations when performance expectations are met.\nBusiness System Leadership \nBuilds a disciplined, repeatable NPI operating system that connects strategy to execution. Establishes visual management, standard work, tiered accountability, Gemba-based problem solving, root-cause countermeasures, and lessons-learned reuse to shorten launch cycle time, improve predictability, and prevent recurring issues.\nTalent System Leadership \nBuilds the capacity, capability, and culture of the extended teams that deliver manufacturing readiness and launch. Plans resource and capability needs, clarifies roles and goals, sets high standards, and strengthens performance through coaching, development, feedback, and recognition across the NPI team and cross-functional partners.\nWINNING BEHAVIORS\nThis role must model and embed Johnson Controls’ Winning Behaviors as the “how”:\nWe Focus on What Matters - We align our teams around customer needs and opportunities identified at Gemba, set clear priorities that deliver the most value, and enable data-informed decisions closest to where the work happens. \nWe Win as One Team - We seek and bring together different perspectives, connect teams across the value stream to achieve shared goals, address challenges constructively, promote collaboration and enable ownership closest to the customer. \nWe Own the Outcome - We build team accountability and ownership for results, drive timely and disciplined execution, and build systems that enable sustained performance, always prioritizing safety and integrity. \nWe Improve Everyday - We create an environment where problems are surfaced transparently, “red” is embraced as an opportunity to improve, root causes are sustainably addressed, and teams rapidly learn, experiment, adapt, innovate, and grow. \nKEY LEADERSHIP ATTRIBUTES\nForesight. Anticipates manufacturing, capacity, supplier, resource, and capability needs before they become launch constraints. \nJudgment. Distinguishes launch-critical issues from lower-value detail and makes balanced decisions when evidence is incomplete or trade-offs are required. \nCandor. Surfaces risks, weak assumptions, and readiness gaps early, including when the message is difficult or unpopular. \nComposure. Remains clear and steady when launches face pressure, setbacks, ambiguity, or competing demands. \nCuriosity. Seeks direct understanding of products, processes, suppliers, plants, and frontline work before drawing conclusions. \nHumility. Tests personal assumptions, welcomes contrary evidence, and adjusts direction when facts indicate a better approach. \nResolve. Maintains focus and standards through obstacles and follows critical issues through to effective closure. \nStewardship. Strengthens the capability, ownership, and long-term effectiveness of the extended teams and systems supporting NPI.. \nKNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE\nRequired: \nDemonstrated ownership of manufacturing readiness and launch outcomes for multiple new products or comparable complex industrial programs. \nDeep knowledge of manufacturing planning, including process capability, equipment, capacity, quality controls, standard work, cost, and production ramp. \nExperience making evidence-based manufacturing readiness decisions within a structured stage-gate, product development, or equivalent launch process. \nProven ability to align Engineering, Manufacturing, Procurement, Quality, Supply Chain, and plant teams around launch commitments without relying on direct authority. \nExperience identifying and resolving supplier, material, capacity, or continuity risks that could prevent a successful launch or ramp. \nDemonstrated use of Lean or an equivalent business system to improve execution, solve systemic problems, and sustain results across. \nStrongly Preferred: \nDemonstrated success improving launch speed, predictability, or ramp performance across a portfolio of new product introductions. \nExperience launching complex engineered products across multiple plants, regions, suppliers, or manufacturing models. \nExperience establishing or significantly improving a repeatable NPI operating system across manufacturing and cross-functional teams. \nExperience building the capacity and capability of extended NPI teams through resource planning, role clarity, coaching, development, and performance leadership. \nSUCCESS MEASURES\n12 - Month Expectations for Success (Role Scorecard - Year 1)\nPriority new products have validated manufacturing plans that support committed safety, quality, rate, cost, lead-time, and investment expectations \nManufacturing gate recommendations are supported by clear evidence, with critical readiness gaps closed or governed by approved recovery plans. \nSupplier capability and material availability support prototype, validation, and priority launch requirements, with critical risks resolved or mitigated before production commitments. \nReceiving plants demonstrate readiness before first production, with the required manufacturing process, equipment, systems, standard work, staffing, and NPI training in place. \nPriority new products achieve first production and progress through ramp against agreed safety, quality, delivery, cost, and capacity expectations. \nA common NPI operating system is applied across priority launches, providing visible performance, clear accountability, disciplined problem solving, and reuse of lessons learned. \nExtended manufacturing launch teams have the resources, role clarity, goals, and critical capabilities required to deliver priority launches. \n24 - Month Expectations for Success (Role Scorecard - Year 2)\nNew products consistently enter launch with viable manufacturing plans, with fewer late changes to process, capacity, investment, cost, or lead-time assumptions. \nManufacturing gate discipline prevents late readiness failures, reducing launch delays or resets caused by previously unidentified manufacturing risks \nSupplier and material readiness consistently supports launch and ramp, with fewer production disruptions caused by qualification, capacity, lead-time, or continuity gaps \nReceiving plants consistently achieve readiness on plan and launch new products without significant disruption from unresolved manufacturing or workforce gaps. \nNew products consistently achieve stable operating performance within the planned ramp and transfer successfully into normal operations. \nThe NPI operating system delivers sustained improvement in manufacturing launch cycle time and predictability, with fewer recurring issues across products and plants \nExtended manufacturing launch teams consistently deliver commitments, with the capacity, capability, and leadership depth required for the future product pipeline. \nWhat do we offer?\nComprehensive benefits package. \nOpportunities for professional growth and development. \nSupportive and inclusive work environment. \nCommitment to work-life balance and employee well-being. \nEngagement in meaningful projects that make a difference. \nJohnson Controls does not request pregnancy or HIV testing as a condition for hiring, continued employment, or promotion, in accordance with its commitment to labor equality and non-discrimination","description_format":"text","description_chars":9964,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy & Utilities","Government","Energy Efficiency","Smart City"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-28T21:06:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":56,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.624,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":8,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:mid","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-07T05:47:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/johnson-controls-npi-director","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/johnson-controls-npi-director.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-08T02:47:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4878,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":122,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":448321},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=448321"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fjohnson-controls-npi-director"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fjohnson-controls-npi-director"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fjohnson-controls-npi-director"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/johnson-controls-npi-director\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fjohnson-controls-npi-director"}]}
