  • Provide regular program status updates to leadership and customers.
  • Lead lessons learned sessions and continuous improvement initiatives post-launch.

Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Coordinate DFM and DFA reviews to ensure manufacturability and design readiness.
  • Oversee prototype builds, tooling design / build, and validation activities (IQ / OQ / PQ).
  • Align manufacturing readiness with customer milestones and launch goals.
  • Support make / buy decisions and ensure alignment between program objectives and operational capacity.
  • Customer & Supplier Interaction

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for assigned customers throughout the program lifecycle.
  • Conduct regular customer meetings, report progress, and proactively resolve issues impacting timing, quality, or cost.
  • Coordinate supplier tool build schedules, design approvals, and prototype delivery.
  • Maintain contracts, specifications, and program documentation for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Process & Quality Compliance

  • Ensure all programs comply with ISO 13485, FDA, and customer-specific regulatory requirements.
  • Partner with Quality and Regulatory teams to support validation, documentation, and corrective action plans.
  • Participate in continuous improvement projects and post-project evaluations to enhance program execution.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Project Management, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 3-7+ years of experience in program or project management within injection molding, medical device, or precision manufacturing.
  • Strong technical understanding of tooling, molding, and manufacturing processes.
  • Proficiency in project management software (Smartsheet, MS Project) and ERP systems (IQMS, Epicor preferred).
  • Excellent leadership, communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
  • PMP certification or equivalent experience preferred.
  • Core Competencies & Traits

  • Technically proficient, process-driven, and results-oriented.
  • Collaborative, customer-focused, and able to lead cross-functional teams effectively under tight timelines.
  • Detail-oriented, organized, proactive, and accountable.
  • Adaptable, motivated, and committed to continuous improvement.
