About the Role

Dealer Rocket is partnering with Holley Performance Brands to hire a Strategic Program Manager for their Safety & Racing division. We are not hiring a traditional Program Manager. This role is the operational and strategic partner to the VP of Safety & Racing, responsible for driving alignment, execution, and performance across the Simpson, Stilo, RaceQuip, and HANS brands. You will own the orchestration of key initiatives from roadmap planning through launch and post-market evaluation, ensuring cross-functional teams operate in sync and deliver against aggressive safety, quality, and commercial objectives. This is a high-impact role that requires someone who can turn complex priorities into clear execution and maintain momentum in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment.
