In this role, you'll lead packaging development for mid- to high-complexity projects, ensuring that solutions are robust, cost-effective, and delivered on time.

  • Manage supplier relationships, briefing on components, tooling, artwork, and testing requirements.

  • Coordinate colour matching, cutter guides, and specification approvals.

  • Ensure accurate and timely documentation (e.g., NLFs, pallet plans, and specifications).

  • Attend production trials and first production runs to validate packaging performance.

  • Monitor and communicate project status, risks, and priorities effectively.

  • Support junior team members and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.


What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience in packaging development, ideally within FMCG or manufacturing.

  • Strong understanding of plastic and glass packaging materials and associated production processes.

  • Confident project manager with the ability to juggle multiple workstreams and collaborate cross-functionally.

  • Detail-oriented, hands-on, and solutions-focused approach.

  • Prior experience in a manufacturing environment is highly desirable.

  • Proactive mindset with excellent prioritisation and problem-solving skills.


Why Apply?

  • Make an Impact: Contribute to meaningful, high-profile projects that directly influence product success.

  • Collaborative Team Culture: Work within a supportive, inclusive, and innovation-driven environment.

  • Professional Growth: Access to career development pathways, mentoring, and opportunities to expand your technical skills.

  • Dynamic Work Environment: Be part of a team that thrives on creativity, efficiency, and continuous improvement.

  • Competitive Salary & Benefits: Including life assurance, employee assistance programme, benefits platform, and more.


If you're ready to bring your packaging expertise to a dynamic, growth-oriented team, we'd love to hear from you.
