From concept to trial to sign-off and onto supermarket shelves its your call to make sure the packaging works . A bit about you: Youve done this before ideally in FMCG or food. You get how packaging materials behave in real-life factory and retail environments. Youre used to artwork approvals, print specs, shelf-life trials, all the fiddly bits that happen between that looks nice and were live. Youre not just a do-er. Youre a problem solver. Someone who can spot an issue before it turns into a disaster (and diplomatically stop it in its tracks). Youre curious, sharp, and pretty organised because juggling artwork approvals, packaging trials, and a meeting with a customer all in one week requires a certain kind of brain.
