Packaging Innovation Technologist

Packaging Innovation Technologist Food Manufacturing/Retail Location: Cheshire Salary: £40,000–£50,000 We all know packaging is more than just something that holds the product. It’s the handshake with the customer, the unsung hero of logistics, and sometimes, the deciding factor between “that’s cool” and “meh.” This isn’t just a job—it’s your chance to make a mark, driving innovation that transforms packaging into an experience. You’ll be stepping into a role that’s as dynamic as it is rewarding, working with some of the brightest minds in the industry. Your mission? To take packaging innovation to the next level. Think materials, formats, finishes - all while optimizing costs and reducing environmental impact. Here, your ideas won’t just sit in a meeting room. You’ll see them on shelves, in shopping trolleys, and across a full supply chain that’s as much about efficiency as it is about delivering something customers love. You’ll work closely with Trading Managers, Suppliers, Product Development Teams, and more. It’s a role that calls for more than technical know-how (though you’ll need plenty of that). It’s about collaboration, influencing stakeholders, and shaping the future of packaging. To succeed here, you’ll need: A solid background in packaging, with experience across materials and product categories. A track record of driving innovation and optimization—saving costs, improving efficiency, and reducing taxation. The ability to juggle multiple projects, manage suppliers, and contribute to the stage-gate NPD process. Communication skills that build trust and drive action, from the boardroom to the factory floor. But it’s not just about what you know; it’s about who you are. This role demands a driven, creative thinker who’s open to challenge and thrives in a team setting. Someone who’s friendly, approachable, and thrives under pressure. Sound like you? Then let’s talk.
