Cincinnati, OH

Elevate Your Career as a Packaging Automation Specialist!

Are you passionate about transforming industrial packaging through cutting-edge automation? Join a leading distributor of packaging solutions, where we've been driving innovation in automated equipment, marking, coding, and end-of-line systems for decades. Serving manufacturing, production, and shipping sectors nationwide, we're committed to delivering high-performance, customized packaging solutions—including bagging, case packing, sealing, palletizing, conveyors, and integrations—that boost efficiency, reduce costs, and solve real-world challenges. With a strong emphasis on technical service, systems integration, and partnerships with top equipment brands, we're growing rapidly through strategic expansions and new product lines like compact, on-demand packaging systems.

In this pivotal position, you'll spearhead packaging automation initiatives that support field sales, from pre-sale recommendations tailored to unique client needs to seamless post-sale execution. You'll collaborate with vendors, internal teams, and customers to ensure outstanding experiences, promote technical services, and boost consumable business—all while advancing innovative solutions in marking, coding, conveyors, fully automated equipment, and integrated packaging systems.

Why This Role is a Game-Changer:

  • Be part of a dynamic, mid-sized organization (200+ employees) with a proven track record of growth in the packaging industry, including recent introductions of advanced automated lines and nationwide expansions.
  • Work in an environment dedicated to constant improvement, where your contributions directly enhance packaging efficiency and client satisfaction in fast-paced production settings.
  • Enjoy the thrill of hands-on project management, travel for field support, and demonstrating equipment that sets new standards in packaging performance.

Key Responsibilities – Your Path to Impact:

  • Build and nurture strong relationships with packaging equipment and automation vendors, representing our team professionally to foster collaborative success.
  • Partner effectively with field sales and technical service pros to align on goals and deliver top-tier support.
  • Champion field sales by evaluating packaging applications, uncovering requirements, and designing customized solutions for marking, coding, conveyors, fully automated equipment, and integrations—recommending value-added options that perfectly fit unique customer challenges.
  • Take charge of post-sale project management, overseeing delivery, factory acceptance testing (FAT), setup, training, and installation, while clearly communicating customer needs.
  • Coordinate and support equipment demonstrations to showcase our innovative packaging offerings.
  • Travel as needed to assist with field service activities, projects, and vendor-related engagements—expect occasional overnight stays based on demands.
  • Leverage strong verbal and written communication skills for phone, in-person, and email interactions, handling application details and quote requests with precision.
  • Engage in CRM activities to schedule appointments and keep opportunity updates flowing smoothly.

What We're Looking For – Your Winning Profile:

  • A proactive communicator who excels at building positive, professional connections across vendors, sales teams, and technical experts in the packaging space.
  • Technical savvy in packaging automation, with experience evaluating requirements and designing solutions for equipment like conveyors, marking systems, bagging, case packing, and integrations.
  • Proven project management skills, especially in post-sale phases including delivery, testing, setup, and training.
  • Comfort with travel and flexibility to support on-site demos, field activities, and vendor trips.
  • Excellent problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and the drive to promote packaging services that add real value.
  • Strong verbal and written skills for seamless interactions via phone, meetings, and email.

If you're ready to drive packaging automation excellence in a thriving organization known for its innovative equipment, technical expertise, and customer-focused solutions, apply now and help shape the future of industrial packaging!
