Collaborate cross-functionally with R&D, Manufacturing, Engineering, Food Safety & Quality, Procurement, Supply Chain, Sales, Marketing, and Commercialization to align packaging solutions with customer expectations and operational capabilities.
Identify and implement cost savings, sustainability, and continuous improvement opportunities, including material optimization, waste reduction, recyclability, pallet utilization, and transportation efficiency.
Ensure packaging materials, designs, trials, and processes comply with applicable regulatory, food safety, customer, company, and GMP requirements.
Maintain clear technical documentation and effectively communicate project status, trial results, technical risks, decisions, and recommendations to customers, manufacturing sites, cross-functional teams, and leadership.
