Principal Design Program Manager, International Packaging

Responsibilities

• Contribute to process development, onboarding standards, and the craft development of the DPM function as it grows.
• Build the frameworks other DPMs and future hires will use, this is as much about designing the operating system as running it.
• Drive org-level prioritization
• Design the global prioritization framework, the criteria, inputs, and escalation model that surface regional urgency, regulatory deadlines, creative capacity, and business impact, so that decision-makers can make faster, better-informed tradeoff calls.
• Build the mechanisms (dashboards, briefing formats, escalation paths) that get the right tradeoffs in front of the right leaders before they become problems.
• Build and maintain strong regional relationships with design, marketing, supply chain, and legal counterparts in each market, trusted enough that people come to you early.
• Develop working knowledge of healthcare packaging compliance requirements across regions, and embed compliance checkpoints upstream in the creative process.
• Translate regulatory requirements into clear creative briefs and review criteria that designers and legal can both work from.
• Partner with designers from brief through final production file, understanding creative intent well enough to protect it through the operational and compliance gauntlet.
• Build the mechanisms — capacity dashboards, resourcing reviews, structured tradeoff conversations — that make the creative team's bandwidth and constraints visible to stakeholders, so capacity conversations happen proactively with leadership rather than reactively with designers.
