Our client is now seeking an experienced Key Account Manager – IML Labels to spearhead their business development efforts across Europe. This pivotal role is based in Turkey and/or Eastern Europe, offering a fantastic chance to work closely with a talented team and oversee the growth of their innovative packaging solutions. The ideal candidate will be commercially driven, highly independent, and possess a proven track record in packaging sales, specifically within the IML labels segment or related sectors. Your responsibilities will include developing targeted market strategies, acquiring new clients within FMCG, retail, food & beverage, and cosmetics sectors, as well as managing existing key accounts. You will act as the primary commercial liaison between European customers and the company’s production facilities in Dubai, ensuring seamless communication, timely project delivery, and long-term customer satisfaction.
