About the role
- This role turns agreed product direction into clearly defined, correctly sequenced work, keeps the development backlog honest, and holds the line on what "done" requires before a product is released for use.
- The team is technically deep; several members are licensed engineers with primary authority in their domain.
- Make real-time scope calls within agreed direction, and be comfortable saying no, or not now, to work that does not serve a current goal.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the accountable party to Department Leadership for timely and on-budget delivery of building products against their defined requirements and interfaces.
- Own and manage the product development execution process and backlog. Keep the backlog honest by clearing noise and stale items, and make sure everything open maps to a current product goal.
- Manage prioritization and sequencing of development work to align with business and product goals, and keep the master schedule current across concurrent programs.
- Coordinate and consult with domain leads to ensure the development process is followed and best practices stay consistent across the team.
- Route field, build, and stakeholder signal on product performance upward to department leadership and to the relevant product development engineers.
- Record, manage, and track risks for the product portfolio.
- Manage and address scope creep and requests that do not belong in the current cycle. Make real-time scope calls within agreed direction, and be comfortable saying no, or not now, to work that does not serve a current goal.
Requirements
- 6+ years owning delivery of a technical product, standard, or portfolio, with 4 or more acceptable alongside a relevant Master's degree.
- Bachelor's degree in a technical or management discipline, or equivalent demonstrated experience.
- The technical fluency this role requires is more often built through work in engineering, construction, or manufacturing environments than through a specific degree.
- A track record delivering complex, multi-team technical programs to committed schedules, including responsibility for surfacing and managing risk.
- Experience holding senior technical specialists who did not report to you to their commitments through influence.
- Experience introducing or materially changing a development process for a team that did not previously use one, including securing adoption from people who were not required to comply.
- Experience holding a development or program budget, including tracking committed versus actual spend on external vendor and consulting engagements.
- Proficiency with a work management platform and the judgment to use it proportionately rather than ceremonially.
- Experience scoping and coordinating physical validation with internal or third-party groups, including performance mockup programs, specialty testing, or product qualification campaigns.
Skills
- 8+ years of relevant experience.
- Experience owning a stage gate or phase gate development process, including gate review facilitation and exit criteria enforcement.
- Familiarity with 3D-printed construction, advanced manufacturing, prefabrication, or digital fabrication workflows.
- ICON is seeking a Sr.
- coordination happens through credibility and follow-through.
Company info
- The problems are novel, the precedents are thin, and the development process this role runs is itself young, so landing it in daily practice is part of the first year of the job.
- As part of our compliance with these obligations, the Company invites you to voluntarily self-identify as set forth below.
- Manage the validation effort as part of the development process: scope and manage consultants schedules and budgets against test and product deliverables, and carry results back into the development record.
