O pozici
An exceptional General Manager is sought to lead and further evolve a successful technology business that is part of a larger, market-leading organisation that touches 90% of the world’s retail packaging and is undergoing extensive transformation and growth. This will suit a VP/GM who has held full P&L accountability and consistently delivered results, solution innovation, and customer success within multinational, product-focused B2B companies.
Esko, a Veralto company (NYSE: VLTO), provides a broad range of innovative, best-in-class software, hardware and services to clients around the world, enabling them to produce the best packaging for billions of consumers.
Esko’s Digital Flexo business manufactures and sells high-quality capital equipment that combines laser imaging technology and advanced software to produce flexographic printing plates for packaging manufacturers and printers. With a dedicated factory in northern Germany and 250 geographically dispersed associates spanning R&D, Product Management, Operations, Commercial, Field Services, and Customer Success, the business operates as a distinct, end-to-end global unit and also benefits from strong collaboration across shared Esko teams, including marketing, IT, customer experience, HR, finance & legal.
The Vice President / General Manager, Digital Flexo is based remotely in Europe with approximately 50% travel. Reporting to Esko’s President, this role carries full P&L leadership of a profitable and growing global business and sits as a key member of Esko’s Senior Leadership Team, contributing broadly to planning, M&A, business transformation, and other strategic initiatives.
The VP/GM will join at a pivotal moment: the business is actively developing a connected, intelligent ecosystem of integrated hardware, software and cloud-based services leveraging IoT and AI. There is also a strong strategic focus on user-centric serviceability and go to market transformation with associated process automation and operational transformation to support these changes.
We won’t pretend this role is straightforward. You’ll be operating in a fast-paced, high-performance and rapidly evolving environment, navigating complexity and sometimes ambiguity. But if you’re the kind of General Manager who finds that energising, we’d genuinely like to meet you.
