• Partner with Finance to validate exposure, investment, spend, business cases, avoided impact, and portfolio reporting.
• Build and govern the lifecycle obsolescence management system, including data standards, portfolio analytics, risk dashboards, and metrics that enable proactive identification, prioritization, escalation, and mitigation of lifecycle risks.
• Develop and coach future team members, including analytics and program-management roles, and build a strong cross-functional community of practice.

• Experience coordinating work across engineering, product management, sourcing, supply chain, operations, finance, and senior business stakeholders.
• Experience with one or more of the following: product sustainment, component obsolescence, supplier continuity, material risk, technology transitions, redesign, or new product introduction.

• You have worked with industrial electronics, controls, embedded systems, or other products that must remain supportable for many years.
• You have experience with component obsolescence, DMSMS (Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages), product sustainment, technology refresh, supplier lifecycle intelligence, or long-term service support.
• You have led redesign, alternate-source qualifications, last time buys, product transitions, or customer migration programs.
