About Nox Metals. American factories deserve a supply chain that moves as fast as they do. Nox Metals is building it, along with the tools that run it. We’re a technology company with operations in Metro Detroit and Los Angeles, supplying aluminum plate, bar, and rounds to aerospace and defense manufacturers. We use software and automation to supply metal to American factories faster than the industry thought possible.
The role. We’re hiring a Program Manager to own complex customer commitments from award through delivery. You will connect the commercial promise to material, capacity, quality, schedule, documentation, and communication so important programs stay predictable as conditions change.
You will be the customer’s reliable internal advocate without making commitments the operation cannot support. The role requires detail, urgency, and the judgment to separate a manageable exception from a program risk.
You will:
Build and maintain program plans, milestones, owners, dependencies, and risks
Translate customer requirements into clear internal execution plans
Coordinate sales, supply chain, production, quality, shipping, and finance
Run regular internal and customer program reviews
Track material, capacity, documentation, delivery, and change requirements
Escalate risks early with facts, options, and a recommended path
Manage scope or schedule changes and preserve decision history
Keep forecasts, system records, and customer commitments aligned
Lead recovery plans when performance misses the target
Capture lessons and improve how future programs launch
You are:
Exceptionally organized without losing sight of the commercial outcome
Clear and steady with customers and internal teams under pressure
Comfortable challenging assumptions and asking for evidence
Strong at turning ambiguity into owners and next actions
Technically curious and able to learn material and manufacturing requirements
Able to manage multiple programs without hiding behind meetings
Accountable for communication, follow-through, and results
Nice to have:
Program management experience in aerospace, defense, manufacturing, metals, or industrial distribution
Experience with long-term agreements, qualification requirements, or production launches
Familiarity with material certifications, quality systems, purchase orders, or change control
Experience with ERP, CRM, project-management, or planning systems
Comfort using AI tools for analysis, risk tracking, and program administration
Benefits:
Equity in Nox Metals
Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
This role is full time and in person in either Los Angeles or Detroit, with travel as customer programs require.
