Role Overview – Packaging Development Manager

If you like the idea of being the person everyone relies on to keep packaging running smoothly and the one who drives the future of it, this is your kind of role. As a Packaging Development Manager, you’ll own everything from fixing today’s issues on the line to shaping tomorrow’s packaging strategy. It’s a mix of hands-on problem solving on the shopfloor and big-picture thinking and decision making directly with the company SLT.

Responsibilities for the Packaging Development Manager

Own all packaging materials, costs and performance, keeping lines running and service levels high.
Lead packaging innovation from concept to launch, making improvements that matter — operationally, commercially and on shelf.
Ensure every pack is consistent, compliant and aligned with the brand (including overseeing print quality and supplier performance).
Drive sustainable packaging initiatives with Group teams and deliver cost-saving projects that actually deliver.
Be the business’s go-to packaging expert, supporting teams with data, problem-solving and future-thinking.

Requirements for the Packaging Development Manager

Strong knowledge of flexible packaging, carton-board, corrugate and experience with flow wrapping and print processes.
Confident communicator able to work across Operations, Marketing, NPD and Supply Chain.
Hands-on, proactive mindset with a track record of improving processes and solving packaging challenges.
Comfortable managing budgets, suppliers and multiple deadlines at once.
