Packaging Managing Director

We are working with a couple of long standing clients to find 2 Managing Directors with the aptitude for running large scale plants.

Reporting to the Board of Directors, the role of Managing Director will be to develop and implement business strategy for sustainable growth. Translating this strategy into operational plans, you will contribute to the delivery of profitable top line growth, great people, a world class facility and a leading brand.

In conjunction with department heads, it will be your role to effectively analyse the results of employee actions, take note of any ‘room for improvement’ and provide training where necessary. Effective leadership skills are key. We are looking for someone who is assertive yet considerate, passionate yet logical, persuasive and inspiring. When it comes to keeping employee morale high, communication will be one of the most important factors.

It is inevitable that when there are so many variables to consider, everything doesn’t always go to plan, and most of the time you can count on there being some deviation from the original blueprint. Our client is looking for a proficient packaging Managing Director who can adapt to changes and make quick operational adjustments when needs be. Solutions to any problems will not always be obvious and straightforward, and sometimes you will have to think outside the box. Innovative directors are the leaders in the industry – people who can formulate new product and service offerings and going above and beyond the efforts of competition to obtain customer satisfaction. These are the exact qualities our clients are looking for.

Diligence is the drive to work hard at whatever you are focusing on, and persistence is the drive to continue working when things get tough. Managing Directors need both traits, and for these traits to work in tandem to work harder and stay ahead of competitors.   

We are looking for candidates who are flexible on location.
