At RTX, the world largest aerospace and defense company, 185,000 great minds are united by purpose and inspired to make a difference solving the world’s most complex problems. With our three market leading businesses, world-class operations and investments in research and development, we offer capabilities and opportunity no one else can. Together, we push the boundaries of known science and find new ways to connect and protect our world. 

Within Raytheon's Air and Space Defense System (ASDS) Strategic Business Unit, Strategic Sensors and Precision Strike (SSPS) is a global leader in strategic early warning, precision air and missile defense, command and control, and precision guided munitions. This role is the Program Manager for Strategic Growth for SSPS' highest growth area, the Domain Awareness and Precision Strike (DAPS) portfolio.

We have an immediate and critical need for a high impact, high visibility role as a Program Manager in charge of the portfolio's Strategic Growth.  This role has two primary charters: capturing several billion dollars already identified and in process new business outlined in our current five year plan, as well as being a portfolio level resource (internal consultant) in aiding strategic, competitive captures in sister organizations that represent franchise opportunities for new product lines.  This role purposefully has no active profit and loss in order to allow bandwidth to address these strategic opportunities.  That said, a qualified individual would be ideally positioned for leadership on the awarded captures as they transition to executing programs.  This is a challenging role, as the ideal candidate will need to understand customer expectations and constraints, Raytheon technologies, and how to build product line roadmaps and associated technical roadmaps.  Typically captures within this portfolio, given their size and complexity, require enterprise-level collaboration, demand innovation to differentiate ourselves against highly qualified competition, and mastery of executive communication to both senior customers and Raytheon executives.  This person will set the vision for customer success, organize and inspire our team to align around the vision, leveraging the strengths of our world class talent to develop strategy to action plans.  Collaboration, communication, and the ability to lead through influence will be central to the role's success.

Position is located onsite in Woburn, MA. Relocation is not available.

What You Will Do:

• Make meaningful progress towards meeting our Long Range Plan commitments that live within this portfolio, most notably the International Early Warning Radar (EWR) bookings and domestic UEWR efforts.

• Engage customers to understand their key expectations and constraints, and collaborate with Business Development and Technical Directors to develop product line and technical roadmaps that maximize customer value and offer Raytheon market differentiation.

• Lead competitive proposals as the capture-phase Program Manager, working across the functions to develop solution baselines, technical baselines, programmatic baselines, and cost baselines.

• Present to senior leadership to attain approvals and alignment for critical company-funded investments and proposal strategies and submissions.

• Maintain continuity of customer relationships throughout all capture phases, ensuring a seamless transition from pursuit through contract award.

• Lead cost modeling activities, including optimizing customer value by identification of cost/benefit trades.

• Drive capture teams to develop cost-effective solutions that align with Price-to-Win strategies and internal cost targets.

• Guide the development customer-focused solutions through detailed analysis of customer needs, key performance parameters, hot buttons, and competitive positioning.

• Lead Capture Team Reviews with senior leadership during critical phases of the quotation and approval process.

• Drive rigorous Risk and Opportunity (R&O) analyses, ensuring capture and program plans and
