This isn't a lateral move. We built Loop by going all in from day one. You’ll independently lead packaging development across new product development and sustaining projects, from early concept through mass product ion readiness. All yours. If you've mastered packaging development, validation and supplier engagement, and you're ready to break the rules that no longer work, this is where you do it.
You step into ownership. You move fast and take responsibility for what you build. You focus on work that matters, not on noise that slows things down. You’ll own packaging specifications, validation approaches and supplier coordination for assigned programs, while balancing product protection, brand, cost, manufacturability and sustainability requirements.
