Denver, Colorado

Start the Best Work of Your Career at Boom

At Boom, we’re developing the future of supersonic aviation—delivering high-performance, sustainable aircraft through focused, high-impact programs like XB-1, Overture, and Symphony. Achieving these milestones requires more than innovation; it takes disciplined program leadership, close coordination across teams and a clear focus on delivering real progress everyday.

We’re hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager to drive the execution of Boom’s most critical development programs—including the Overture airliner and the Symphony propulsion system. In this role, you’ll be responsible for leading cross-functional teams, managing complex schedules and budgets, and ensuring technical milestones are met across multiple high-stakes initiatives. This is a pivotal position for a program leader who can turn ambitious plans into on-time, on-budget reality.

Role Overview

As a Senior Technical Program Manager at Boom, you will:

  • Lead end-to-end execution across multiple high-priority programs—driving schedule, cost, and technical alignment across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.
  • Build and manage integrated master schedules and budgets that connect daily activities to long-term milestones.
  • Translate bold technical goals into executable program plans and work breakdown structures, ensuring nothing gets lost between vision and delivery.
  • Interface directly with internal teams, external partners, and suppliers to ensure accountability and alignment across the development lifecycle.
  • Bring visibility and structure to complexity—deploying program controls, metrics, and dashboards that guide decision-making and surface risk early.
  • Champion clear, consistent communication at all levels—whether rallying a technical team, or briefing executives
  • Navigate ambiguity, shifting priorities, and evolving requirements with confidence and composure.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, speed, and continuous improvement—always looking for ways to help our teams move faster and smarter.

The Ideal Candidate

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Systems, or a technical discipline
  • Proven success delivering multi-disciplinary programs in design, test, and production environments
  • Deep fluency in program tools and processes—schedule development, earned value, risk management, stakeholder alignment, and change control
  • Strong systems thinker who can operate at both strategic and detailed levels
  • Excellent communicator and collaborator—able to influence across technical and non-technical teams
  • Experience working with hardware-software interfaces, regulatory frameworks, and fast-moving development cycles

What Will Set You Apart

  • Proven success leading high-stakes supplier and partner relationships, ensuring alignment, delivery, and accountability across critical interfaces
  • Startup or growth-stage aerospace experience—you know how to build structure in fast-moving, resource-constrained environments
  • Bias for action—you prioritize decisively, move quickly, and keep teams focused on forward progress
  • Executive presence and clarity under pressure—you bring focus, composure, and crisp communication when it matters most
  • Strong technical fluency—you understand engineering and certification constraints and turn them into clear, actionable plans
  • Natural leader—people want to follow you because you lead with integrity, earn trust quickly, and influence without formal authority
  • Willing to roll up your sleeves—no task is beneath you when the mission is on the line
  • Brings energy, optimism, and a contagious sense of fun—you make the work lighter and the team stronger

This is your chance to work on the most exciting aircraft programs of our time—and help make supersonic flight a reality again.
