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. 

• 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

• 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

• Background in R&D development and manufacturing site operations

• Experience in solution building, process structuring, and technical data stress-testing

• 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
