ANA is growing and scaling, and we are seeking an NPI Program Manager to join our growing team in an on-site position in Henderson, Nevada. The New Product Introduction (NPI) Program Manager leads ANA's cross-functional phase-gate process for new products and major variants, from approved concept through production stabilization. The role aligns Product Management, Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Quality and Regulatory, Finance, Service and Aftermarket, Sales, and Marketing. It is accountable for program governance, timely decisions, launch readiness, and cross-functional alignment - not detailed engineering execution. The NPI Program Manager facilitates evidence-based gate decisions and recommends whether programs should be held, conditionally released, or advanced. The role partners closely with the Engineering Project Manager, who owns engineering execution, and with functional workstream owners, who remain accountable for their deliverables. 

This fully onsite position operates weekdays from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and reports to the Director of Product Management.

• Own and continuously improve ANA's phase-gate process, including entry and exit criteria, required evidence, functional ownership, decision rights, approvals, and standard templates.
• Facilitate gate and program reviews; confirm readiness evidence, document decisions and exceptions, and drive actions to closure.
• Manage portfolio priorities, sequencing, cross-program dependencies, and shared-resource conflicts.
• Maintain an NPI roadmap and dashboard integrating engineering milestones with functional commitments, dependencies, gate dates, and readiness status.
• Provide evidence-based status and escalations to leadership, recommending trade-offs among schedule, cost, scope, quality, customer, and resource priorities.
