The Role and Impact
Intel Foundry is building the operating discipline needed to deliver complex manufacturing, packaging, and technology commitments with speed, quality, and confidence. This role drives the systems, signals, and execution routines that show what is ready, what is at risk, and what needs action for APTM phase gate execution.
You will lead cross-functional programs that support APTM manufacturing quality systems, advanced packaging readiness, supplier quality improvements, phase gate readiness, and measurable outcomes across Assembly, Packaging, Test, and Manufacturing operations. This role is designed for a technically strong program leader who can operate in the details, communicate at the right level of detail, and drive disciplined follow-through across organizations.

What You'll Accomplish

• Build and execute project and program plans aligned to business objectives, phase gate requirements, quality system needs, technology scope, timelines, resources, and stakeholder expectations.
• Drive program life cycles from planning through implementation, testing, documentation, training, change control, close-out, and lessons learned.
• Lead cross-functional collaboration across APTM, Foundry manufacturing, quality, supplier, automation, central services, and customer-facing organizations.
• Create visibility to program health by tracking schedule, cost, resources, risks, dependencies, quality metrics, key performance indicators, and readiness status.
• Run schedule, milestone, readiness, and stakeholder reviews that surface issues early, drive decisions, and maintain execution discipline.
• Clarify user, technical, manufacturing, phase gate, and quality requirements so APTM and partner teams understand ownership, dependencies, and deliverables.
• Identify risks, execution gaps, and decision points; define mitigation plans that protect program stability and business continuity.
• Communicate status, issues, impacts, decisions, and recovery actions clearly to technical, operational, and executive audiences.
• Support quality automation, dashboards, Quality Review Board governance improvements, supplier quality initiatives, phase gate execution improvements, and systemic quality improvements for APTM execution.

Behavioral Traits

• High ownership mindset with a structured, disciplined approach to program execution, quality, and operational excellence.
• Ability to turn ambiguity into direction across complex, multi-site environments.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills for technical, operational, and executive audiences.
• Strong problem-solving, risk management, program management, and execution skills in fast-paced environments.
• Ability to influence, align, and drive accountability across Foundry, supplier, factory, and central organizations.

What Intel Foundry Can Offer You

• High-visibility work that directly supports Intel Foundry phase gate execution and APTM manufacturing quality outcomes.
• Exposure to advanced packaging, manufacturing quality systems, supplier readiness, and cross-functional Foundry execution.
• Opportunity to build operating discipline, readiness visibility, and repeatable execution models for complex technology programs.
• Collaboration with technical, operational, and customer-facing teams across Intel Foundry.
