Are you a highly organised, commercially aware and multilingual coordinator looking for a varied international role within a growing European operation? Do you enjoy balancing customer interaction, commercial support, project coordination and analysis within a fast-paced environment? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re dedicated to protecting what matters most – our people, our customers, our communities and the environment. At Macfarlane Packaging, our commitment to customer satisfaction, sustainability and continual improvement creates a highly collaborative, supportive and friendly workplace where you can unpack a career that grows.

With over 75 years of heritage, we combine the stability of an established business with the ambition and pace of a company focused on continued growth. Our fast-paced, results-driven culture will challenge and stretch you, while also providing genuine opportunities for development and progression. Every colleague has the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to our success.

We offer competitive rewards, flexible benefits and a working environment that supports work-life balance. If you value teamwork, accountability, adaptability and continuous improvement, you’ll fit right in.

This is a key support role within our European Business Development team, helping to drive the continued growth and development of both existing customers and prospective key accounts across Europe.

Working closely with the wider commercial team, you will provide a blend of administrative, commercial and project coordination support, helping to ensure seamless communication, efficient account management and excellent customer service delivery across multiple European markets.

The role will involve regular customer interaction, detailed reporting and analysis, preparation of commercial documentation and coordination of key business development activities. It is ideally suited to someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced, highly varied environment where organisation, communication and commercial awareness are all equally important.

While this position can be remote or hybrid within the UK, Spain or Netherlands, there will be regular travel to Macfarlane offices within both the UK and Europe and potential for occasional visits to customer locations.
