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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

• Organise outer cases for NPD/EPD, ensuring they are fit for purpose and approved by key stakeholders across the business.
• Finalise all packaging elements (tray, sleeve, film, outercase etc), confirming they are fit for purpose and correct
• Sign off packaging details in artwork approval process - checking the cutter guide size and dimensions, general panel layout, position and size of the date code box, position of the barcode, varnish-free areas. Ensure the Specifications team are informed of relevant details
• Manage the generation and approval of promotional artwork
• Generate internal packaging specifications to be used for customer specifications and factory paperwork
• Support the process team on product trials and pre-productions, including ordering packaging for trials
• Attend, where required, retailer pre-artwork meetings to discuss packaging requirements for launch
• Co-ordinate the approval of the first delivery of printed packaging, ensuring it is approved for overall print quality before the packaging is released to the factories
• Manage and update the packaging database to ensure all packaging detail is accurate and accessible
• Work with Procurement team to understand business strategy on packaging suppliers
• Work with NPD Packaging Manager to support the delivery of new packaging innovation

• Ability to manage your time effectively
• Organised and self-disciplined
• Enjoy working within a very fast paced and changeable environment
• Well-developed written and oral communication skills
• A proactive approach

• Life Assurance (1 x salary)
• 25 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays as standard (may vary by role)
• Private medical insurance (after 5 years' service)
• Staff Shop
• Stakeholder Pension Scheme
• Discount & cashback platform
• Personal Accident Insurance
• Free health check
• Employee Assistance Programme
• A range of voluntary benefits (holiday purchase scheme, additional life assurance, dental & hospital cash plans)
• Salary sacrifice car lease scheme
• Free independent mortgage advice
• Discounted tutoring for children
• Access to financial learning tools and affordable loans via your salary
• Free car parking
