About the Role
We're looking for a Packaging Program Lead to provide dedicated packaging leadership for a life sciences client managing lifecycle projects, post-submission product launches, and pre-filing engagement work. The role exists to address pipeline delays by giving packaging a clear, accountable owner across the project portfolio.
What You'll Do
-
Own the packaging workstream across the full project portfolio, representing it in all project forums
-
Lead end-to-end private label launches, including labeling, packaging, and serialization
-
Drive daily project execution - unblocking issues, escalating as needed, and maintaining schedules
-
Coordinate effectively with the remote packaging managed service
-
Develop a repeatable, structured model for packaging program delivery
-
Provide critical review and challenge of stakeholder technical data to ensure accuracy and feasibility
-
Adapt work style to align with diverse stakeholder cultures across development and commercial teams
What You Bring
-
Project management experience in life sciences or pharmaceuticals, including GMP, supply chain, and packaging
-
Experience with labeling, end-to-end implementation, and project delivery in regulated environments
-
Ability to work within a matrix organization, managing multiple stakeholders and projects simultaneously
Nice to Have
-
Background in R&D development and manufacturing site operations
-
Experience in solution building, process structuring, and technical data stress-testing
Why This Role
-
Real ownership: Represent and drive the packaging workstream across the entire project portfolio, not a single launch
-
High-impact mandate: Directly address pipeline delays with dedicated, accountable leadership
-
Regulated industry depth: Work within GMP and regulated life sciences delivery standards
-
Cross-cultural stakeholder exposure: Partner across development and commercial teams with differing working styles
