In this role, you’ll lead packaging innovation efforts by exploring new materials and technologies, working cross-functionally with Marketing, Product Development, Design, and Operations.
Your participation in project planning will be crucial, as you’ll manage the flow of information, follow up, and communicate project milestones and associated risks.
Supporting Operations in cost savings, efficiency initiatives, and quality investigations will be a continuous effort towards improvement.
This involves optimizing the packaging production process through production support, problem-solving, industrialization, and trials management.
Ensuring the creation and upload of packaging documentation, such as technical sheets in Devex/SAP, will be essential to guarantee the correct implementation of packaging projects within your area of responsibility.
You’ll understand the needs of different stakeholders in the business, ensuring the development and sharing of knowledge across plants and functions.
This will be achieved by exploiting the CVP Program, fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.

Being flexible and dealing with a dynamic working environment as well as the ability to embed new knowledge and skills in existing competencies will definitely help you to become high performer here.
