Full Job Description

ABOUT THE SOLUTION: Avery Dennison’s Optica and On-Demand Labeling are interconnected solutions designed to modernize supply chains, track inventory, and streamline manufacturing through digital identification. Optica is Avery Dennison’s comprehensive portfolio of end-to-end supply chain solutions. It is designed to give businesses total, item-level visibility over their products from the point of manufacture (source) to the retail shelf (store). Optica achieves this by combining RFID intelligent labels, the atma.io connected product cloud, specialized hardware, and software applications to turn physical products into digital assets. On-Demand Labeling (also referred to as Avery Dennison's In-Plant Printing Solution) is a specific capability built into the Optica ecosystem, though it can also be used standalone. It balances centralized data management with decentralized, on-site printing. Instead of factories ordering pre-printed care labels, price tickets, or RFID tags from a central vendor and waiting for them to ship, On-Demand Labeling allows factories to print and encode labels directly on the factory floor using a unified online platform. ABOUT THE ROLE: As the Market Development Lead - Solution, you will be responsible for providing technical expertise driving top line growth and new opportunities globally. You will work closely with the Sales, Product Line Management and Solution Architect to identify and evaluate opportunities that convert into new or incremental sales. Activities may include, but are not limited to: * Align solution selling strategy across key external stakeholders (brand headquarters, factories, liaison offices) * Deep understanding of region/segment solution landscape. Including competitors, growth areas, and market influences * Manage training and support calendar to ensure coverage across segments/regions * Lead and manage a team of direct reports * Partner with Business Development on prioritization of high visibility and cross-market
