Packaging Program Management

• Own the day-to-day program management of packaging artwork projects, from initial request through final artwork release and production handoff.
• Serve as the primary operational liaison between internal teams, designers, factories, vendors, and production partners for packaging artwork requests.
• Receive, scope, prioritize, and manage packaging artwork requests from factories and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Translate packaging needs into clear creative briefs and actionable requests for the design team.
• Manage the packaging design workload and project queue, balancing priorities, launch dates, designer capacity, dependencies, and urgent business needs.
• Build and manage packaging project timelines, proactively identifying risks, bottlenecks, conflicting priorities, and potential delays.
• Coordinate artwork reviews, feedback, revisions, approvals, and final file delivery across design, product, marketing, regulatory/legal, regional teams, factories, and other stakeholders.
• Coordinate with Regulatory, Science and Legal partners to ensure packaging and labeling requirements are incorporated into artwork and required approvals are completed prior to release.
• Ensure final packaging artwork is delivered accurately and on time, with appropriate approvals and version control.
• Maintain organized packaging files, specifications, approval records, trackers, and other program documentation.
• Drive improvements to packaging workflows, intake processes, prioritization, tracking, and communication to increase efficiency and scalability.

Packaging Localization & Market Readiness

• Own the coordination of packaging localization and market-specific artwork adaptations across global markets.
• Manage packaging localization projects end-to-end, from scoping and translation through artwork updates, review, approval and final delivery.
• Coordinate the translation and review of packaging copy, warnings, instructions, claims, regulatory content and other required on-pack information, routing work to the appropriate internal teams, translators or external partners.
• Manage packaging versions and SKUs by market, ensuring the correct language, labeling, symbols, barcodes, regulatory requirements and approved content are reflected in each artwork.
• Coordinate with regional stakeholders, Regulatory, Legal, Product and factories to ensure market-specific packaging requirements are understood and delivered in line with launch and production timelines.
• Manage external packaging artwork, translation and production partners where required, including briefing, timelines, deliverables, quality expectations and issue resolution.
