So, you want to work in Packaging?
Cool. But let’s start with the obvious: why?
Seriously — you’ll need an answer. Because the hiring manager’s not interested in generic applications. If you’ve never worked in packaging before, she wants to know what makes you think this is the gig for you. If you have worked in packaging — great, but what keeps you motivated?
You don’t need a 10-year career history. You might even be a recent graduate. But you do need a reason to get out of bed in the morning and the ability to manage a hefty, fast-paced portfolio of products without dropping the ball.
This isn’t admin. This is technical. Fast. Deadline-driven. And it’s part of a very busy, 9-person team that lives and dies by precision, process and pace.
What you’ll actually do:
* Be the glue between Product Development, Process, Procurement, and Tech teams.
* Own the packaging spec process — trays, sleeves, films, outers, everything.
* Approve artwork with the kind of detail obsession that makes barcode placement exciting.
* Manage trials and first deliveries with zero drama and all the right sign-offs.
* Keep packaging databases up to date and accurate (this matters more than you think).
* Work closely with suppliers and support on packaging innovation.
What you’ll need to bring:
* Either experience in packaging OR a clear, convincing reason why this is where you want to be.
* The ability to juggle multiple deadlines at speed without getting overwhelmed.
* A proactive, organised mindset (this team does not do chaos).
* Positive energy — they’re not looking for wallflowers.
* Good communication skills – written, verbal, and with people who don’t speak in acronyms.
Why apply?
You’ll be part of a product portfolio that actually goes to market. You’ll work with a respected team, a sharp manager, and get exposure across technical, NPD, and commercial. You’ll learn. You’ll grow. And you won’t be stuck waiting 3 months for decisions.
Ready to apply? Great. Just make sure your CV reflects your suitability — and tell us why you want the role.
