As we move rapidly from prototype to high-volume production, we require program management infrastructure that can keep pace. This role is integral to achieving that goal.\nWe are vertically integrating our core manufacturing processes, including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, finishing, and casting. This strategy is essential for maintaining the speed, resilience, and cost-efficiency of our robot production as we scale.\nNote: This is a full-time, on-site role at our Glen Cove, NY manufacturing facility and HQ.\nThe Role\nOwning how a strategy becomes reality. Taking an ambiguous, high-stakes mandate and standing up the program behind it; structuring the work, building the plan, managing internal and external partners, and driving it to a decision leadership can act on and a plan the organization can execute. It is a high-ownership, high-ambiguity role with direct CEO visibility, sitting at the intersection of manufacturing, corporate strategy, and program execution.\nWhat You'll Do\nEstablish programs. Transform an ambiguous strategic mandate into organized work-streams, assign owners, set milestones, and create a budget. Designing the operating system that supports the entire effort.\n\nBuild the plan. Convert strategy into decision-grade plans: requirements definition, options analysis, cost models, and a costed, sequenced recommendation.\n\nOwn execution. Drive work-streams to completion, hold the schedule and budget, manage dependencies, and clear blockers before they stall the program.\n\nManage stakeholders and partners. Coordinate internal functions (engineering, supply chain, finance) and external partners and consultants; scope engagements and hold them to budget and deadline.\n\nQuantify the decision. Build and own the financial models, make-vs-buy, CapEx, breakeven, unit economics that leadership decisions rest on.\n\nDrive to a decision. Synthesize the work into executive-grade readouts and move leadership to a clear, timely call.\n\nBasic Qualifications:\n7+ years leading cross-functional programs to executive decisions in manufacturing/operations, corporate strategy or BizOps at a hardware company, or management consulting with genuine industrial exposure.\n\nDemonstrated ownership of a complex, ambiguous effort driven from strategy through to an executable plan.\n\nFinancial-modeling fluency: breakeven, CapEx, unit economics, and enough M&A literacy (EBITDA multiples) to own and pressure-test a make-vs-buy model.\n\nExecutive communication: structured written synthesis and board-quality presentations.\n\nVendor and consultant management, scoping and holding external partners to budget and deadline.\n\nComfort operating without a playbook, at startup pace, with direct executive exposure.\n\nPreferred Qualifications:\nPrior make-vs-buy, re-shoring, capacity-expansion, or M&A-evaluation experience.\n\nWorking literacy across manufacturing processes (machining, sheet metal, finishing, casting).\n\nExperience standing up a shop, plant, or lab from scratch.\n\nRobotics or precision-hardware background.\n\nPMP or equivalent\n\nExperience working with Long Island/NY-metro manufacturing organizations.\n\nCompensation and Benefits\nThe salary range for this role is $180,000 to $210,000. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3836,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Life insurance","Stock options","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial Robotics","Collaborative Robots (Cobots)"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T17:39:07Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":20,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.729,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":109,"expected_fill_days":53,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":210000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/standard-bots-sr-manufacturing-program-manager-vertical-integration","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/standard-bots-sr-manufacturing-program-manager-vertical-integration.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T16:00:34Z","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_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22235,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"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":1307},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1307"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fstandard-bots-sr-manufacturing-program-manager-vertical-integration"},{"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%2Fstandard-bots-sr-manufacturing-program-manager-vertical-integration"},{"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%2Fstandard-bots-sr-manufacturing-program-manager-vertical-integration"},{"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/standard-bots-sr-manufacturing-program-manager-vertical-integration\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fstandard-bots-sr-manufacturing-program-manager-vertical-integration"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":334438}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"standardbots.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":334438},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
