Now you understand why since1898, our 100+ year-old company has grown 5x faster than our industry! Berlin Packaging has been investing in technology across the enterprise, and this role leads the charge on AI and automation. As our AI & Automation Lead , you will have direct empowerment to identify, design, and build solutions that drive real operational impact — spanning intelligent workflows, process automation, and AI-powered applications across the enterprise.
This is a hands-on technical lead role. You will be the primary architect and practitioner, working alongside a small team of onshore and offshore engineers to deliver end-to-end applications to our internal and external audiences. You set the technical direction, you stay close to the code, and you're accountable for what ships.
The ideal candidate has done this before. You know how to navigate a complex enterprise environment, earn trust quickly, and deliver working solutions that create real business value — without waiting to be told exactly how.
