* Lead product strategy and lifecycle management across QSR, Pharmacy, and E-commerce sectors
* Spot trends, gaps, diversification and opportunities—and translate them into pioneering packaging solutions
* Act as the go-to expert on sustainability and regulatory compliance (EUDR, EPR, PPWR)
* Work directly with customers to understand their challenges and co-create future-ready products
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams to bring innovation to life—from concept to launch
What You Bring
* Product management experience—ideally in packaging or paper-based goods
