Amazon Lab126 is an inventive research and development company that designs and engineers high-profile consumer electronics.

The Role:

The role of a Retail Packaging Engineering Program Manager (Retail Packaging EPM) is to drive execution of the device packaging experience in support of product launches and sustaining packaging programs. This role will focus primarily on awareness around global regulatory requirements pertaining to packaging and establishing implementation plans for ensuring compliance against enforcement dates. This includes schedule creation and coordination with inter-disciplinary teams to ensure packaging structure and artwork is developed and approved on-time and oversight of any initiatives being driven/owned by other team members. The role also involves ownership of the Print On Demand (POD) labeling process and deliverables, and will have some involvement in supporting Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) reporting. In addition to creating packaging plans, and development/compliance schedules, the role requires Bill of Material (BOM) support.

Working closely with global, cross-functional team members (e.g., Product Legal, Compliance Legal, Hardware Compliance Engineering, Packaging Engineering, Global Commodity Management, Industrial Design, Marketing, Product Management, Go-to-Market, Operations, Logistics, Technical Program Management), they define key aspects of product packaging via structural design, execution, test, and delivery; while motivating cross-functional teams to deliver the product(s), as per the program requirements.

Key Job Responsibilities

A strong program management foundation is required for this role and ability to prioritize and manage multiple competing tasks/deliverables is critical. Ability to navigate ambiguous situations and develop execution plans around limited information is also a key requirement.

1. Primary ownership and oversight for driving compliance against device packaging related global regulations.
2. Own and manage large scope packaging change initiatives against device packaging related global regulations.
3. Track status and drive progress on device packaging related global regulations not under direct ownership.
4. Execute Print On Demand (POD) labeling deliverables.
5. Own and evolve the POD labeling process looking for more efficient workflows and addressing process risks.
6. Support EPR reporting demands and help evolve overall process and new tools.
7. Help drive NPI and Sustaining program packaging development.
