Sr Staff Program Manager (Onsite)
About The Position
The Senior Staff Program Manager plays a critical role in shaping the future of Insulet’s product portfolio by helping bring the company’s most innovative next-generation technologies from concept to launch. Positioned within the Next Generation Platforms group, this role is central to turning bold ideas into life-changing solutions for people with diabetes, ensuring that complex, enterprise-wide initiatives move forward with clarity, speed, and alignment. This is a high-impact opportunity to influence the direction of future products, drive meaningful business outcomes, and help deliver innovations that improve the lives of users around the world. The Next Generation Platforms group is where Insulet builds what’s next - translating bold ideas into the innovative products that will shape how our users live. The Senior Staff Program Manager is the driving force behind those programs, turning complex, ambitious concepts into delivered products. This role leads Insulet’s most critical and complex enterprise-wide programs from feasibility through launch. The Senior Staff Program Manager brings deep program management expertise and a strong technical foundation in medical device development, guiding cross-functional teams through ambiguity with structure, momentum, and clarity. A T-shaped doer, they move fluidly between the strategic roadmap and the hands-on details - pairing program management mastery with broad fluency across the disciplines that bring a connected medical device to market. They anticipate challenges before they surface, organize teams without slowing them down, and execute efficiently while staying flexible as priorities shift. A proactive self-starter, they take ownership and run with it - accountable for outcomes from start to finish. They communicate with range, translating fluidly across technical, program, and executive audiences, and bring the judgment to align stakeholders and the confidence to constructively challenge strong-minded leaders when a program depends on it. Above all, this is a role for a builder: someone who sharpens the systems and processes around them as they deliver, raising the bar for how great products reach our users.
