  • Direct impact on revenue growth and customer success
  • High visibility with executive leadership
  • Ability to define technical strategy , not just execute it

  • Extrusion coating
  • Laminations

Strong working knowledge of:

  • Converting processes and equipment

Proven ability to:

  • Solve complex technical problemsInterface with customers and suppliers
  • Translate technical capability into business value
  • Ideal Background
    • Technical leader at a flexible packaging manufacturer
    • Senior application engineer from an adhesive or film supplier
    • R&D or process leader in coatings, laminations, or extrusion
    Leadership & Transition

    You will work closely with our current Technical Director to ensure a successful transition of knowledge, relationships, and processes.
