Information about the job position:

Our client is looking for a technically skilled, customer-oriented Technical Project & Account Manager to coordinate the introduction of new printed products and act as the key technical link between multinational customers, sales and the printing plant. The role combines printing know-how, customer communication and end-to-end project coordination. It is primarily a technical role rather than a commercial sales or pricing position.

• Manage new product introductions, label designs, SKU changes and implementation projects from technical brief to production launch.
• Coordinate print trials, colour matching, artwork adjustments, technical specifications and press approvals.
• Work closely with production, prepress, quality, planning, sales and customer service teams to ensure technically feasible solutions and timely implementation.
• Communicate directly with customers’ technical, packaging, procurement and marketing teams, including major international FMCG organisations.
• Support customer production-line trials where needed, helping resolve label application, substrate and print-quality challenges.
• Investigate technical complaints, identify root causes with internal specialists and coordinate corrective actions.
• Support technical feasibility assessments during quotations and tenders without owning commercial pricing or sales negotiations.

Qualifications and Requirements:

• Relevant experience in labels, industrial printing, flexible packaging or closely related printed packaging products.
• Practical understanding of at least one industrial printing technology, ideally flexography, offset, digital or hybrid printing.
• Experience coordinating technical projects, stakeholders, deadlines and product launches in a manufacturing environment.
• Ability to discuss printing quality, colour accuracy, materials, specifications and production feasibility with technical teams and customers.
• Strong customer-facing communication skills and the confidence to interact with demanding international B2B customers.
• Proactive problem-solving, organisation and follow-through, with a hands-on approach to factory and customer coordination.
• Experience with print trials, prepress, artwork approvals, shrink sleeves or self-adhesive labels is an advantage.• Familiarity with substrates such as PP, PE, PET or BOPP, and systems such as SAP, Salesforce or Esko WebCenter, is an advantage.
• Formal engineering qualifications are welcome but not mandatory; relevant practical expertise and demonstrated capability are more important.
• Based within commuting distance of Ploiești or willing to relocate, with regular on-site presence at the production facility.

Languages:

English: strong professional proficiency required for technical customer communication and international collaboration.

Employee Benefits and Compensation:

• Opportunity to work within an international printing and packaging manufacturing group, supporting major FMCG brands.
• Exposure to multiple printing technologies, complex customer projects and cross-functional technical specialists.
