Key Outcomes & Responsibilities
Your main mission is to identify, vet, and build long-term relationships with the single best packaging manufacturers in Turkey. This is not a short-term gig; it is an ongoing role that scales from initial sourcing to full relationship management.
Sourcing & Mapping: Conduct thorough online/offline research to map out smaller and mid-sized packaging and printing producers in the Istanbul area.
Boots on the Ground: Personally visit factories, conduct production compliance checks, audit workflows, and run pre-shipment quality control.
Bridge the EU-Turkey Gap: Ensure that manufacturers understand and meet strict European compliance laws regarding food packaging, materials, and quality standards (which are significantly stricter than local Turkish laws).
Negotiation & Pitching: Conduct light negotiations, pitch Limepack as a premium long-term partner, and secure strong commercial terms.
Onboarding Project: Your first paid task (10-30 hours) will be to source and onboard a local compliance testing house/legal partner in Turkey.
