About the role:
You will own the packaging innovation agenda across relevant product categories and supply-chain touchpoints — from identifying problems and exploring materials to prototyping, testing, validation and commercialisation.
The role requires a combination of packaging science, product development, problem-solving and hands-on execution.

What you'll do:
1. Packaging Design & Innovation
Design and develop current packaging materials, structures, formats and solutions for diverse product categories.
Identify opportunities to redesign existing packaging to improve product protection, quality and operational efficiency.
Develop packaging solutions specifically suited to FirstClub's supply-chain and handling environment.
Explore innovative packaging concepts that can create a meaningful improvement over conventional solutions.
2. Solve Supply-Chain & Product Problems
Work closely with Supply Chain, Operations, Category and Sourcing teams to identify packaging-related challenges.
Solve problems related to:
Product damage and breakage
Quality deterioration
Shelf life




Temperature/moisture management
Handling and transportation
Leakage/spillage
Product deformation
Wastage and shrinkage
Packaging-to-product fit
Translate operational problems into packaging design requirements and measurable specifications.
3. Materials & Technology Exploration
Evaluate new packaging materials, substrates, coatings, structures and technologies.
Stay updated on developments in sustainable packaging, barrier technologies, protective packaging and alternative materials.
Assess the technical suitability, availability, scalability and economics of new materials.
4. Prototyping & Testing
Work with packaging suppliers, manufacturers, material innovators and startups to develop prototypes.
Design and execute packaging trials and experiments.
Establish appropriate testing methodologies and performance benchmarks.
Iterate designs based on test results and feedback from real-world supply-chain op
