• Partner with Product Development, Design, Compliance, Brand, Supply Chain and external suppliers to bring new products to market.  

• Manage packaging testing, technical specifications, artwork approvals and regulatory compliance, including TGA requirements where applicable.  

• Champion sustainable packaging innovation by identifying new materials, monitoring emerging legislation and driving continuous improvement.

• Experience in packaging development within beauty, FMCG or a similar industry.  

• Strong knowledge of packaging materials, manufacturing processes and supplier management.  

• Experience managing multiple development projects with exceptional organisation and attention to detail.

• A passion for sustainable packaging, circular design and material innovation, paired with strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
