Position Summary / Job Purpose:
We are seeking a strategic, forward-thinking leader to join our Newbuild organization as Director of Program Development. This high-impact role is instrumental in shaping the earliest phases of ship development-well before contracts are signed by driving strategic alignment between brand vision, operational feasibility, and long-term business goals. As Director, you will lead cross-functional collaboration with brand teams, technical experts, and shipyard partners to define ship concepts, assess feasibility, and guide decision-making.
You'll be responsible for developing the project business cases together with the corporate and brand strategy teams, driving the design concept development, and ensuring that the project operational and business processes are well established and functioning. This role focuses on establishing our new programs and projects as a business to ensure that we can successfully manage the scale and complexity of a ship building, including but not limited to - building the project organization, defining the project charter and ways of working, enabling design and investment decisions, and driving progress towards critical milestones and quality gates.
In addition to early-stage development, the Director will lead a high-performing team focused on addressing the most critical and strategic challenges within a Newbuild project. You will oversee the daily operation of a newbuilding project, as the general manager, ensuring all business functions are progressing and in sync, including project strategy, costing and financial, program management, and commercial negotiations. Within each project you will manage multiple high-impact initiatives-ranging from strategic and executive reviews and to continuous process improvements-while mentoring and developing direct reports.
In this role, you will act as the conduit for collaboration between all department disciples and represent the front lines of the project to the brand and corporate leadership. Success in this role requires a strong communicator and strategic thinker who thrives in ambiguity, brings structure to complex challenges, and builds trusted relationships across the organization.
