Business Development Lead - Flexible Packaging
About Pakka Limited
At Pakka, we're on a mission to reimagine packaging for a better planet. Backed by over 40 years of manufacturing excellence and deep R&D capabilities, we are building the next generation of sustainable packaging solutions.
One of our most exciting bets is sustainable flexible packaging - a category poised to transform how brands package their products. We believe the future of packaging lies beyond conventional multilayer plastics, and we're developing scalable alternatives that help brands reduce their environmental footprint without compromising performance.
We're looking for an ambitious builder to help take this business from early commercial traction to large-scale growth.
Mission of the Role
Build and scale Pakka's sustainable flexible packaging business.
This is a unique opportunity to operate like a founder within an established company. You'll own the growth of a new business vertical - working across customers, product development, go-to-market strategy, partnerships, and supply chain to turn an innovative product into a category-defining business.
If you're excited by ownership, thrive in ambiguity, and enjoy building from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
