We're partnering with a global FMCG organisation to appoint an experienced Project Manager to lead a high-profile global packaging transformation project.

  • Track progress against key deliverables and provide regular leadership updates
  • Ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope and achieve intended business outcomes
  • Manage external suppliers and internal business stakeholders where required

About You

  • Proven Project Manager with experience delivering packaging, product change, product innovation or supply chain projects within FMCG
  • Strong track record managing complex, global, cross-functional programmes
  • Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills
  • Able to drive delivery without direct authority
  • Strong planning, governance and risk management capabilities
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, changing environment
  • Experienced using project management tools such as Smartsheet, SharePoint or similar

Ideal Background

  • FMCG, consumer goods, food & beverage, personal care or manufacturing sectors
