Branding & Packaging Designer

eJam•Santa Ana, CA

8h•$65,000 - $75,000•Onsite

About The Position

We're looking for a Branding & Packaging Designer who can own the visual identity of our brands across every consumer touchpoint — from the physical package on a retail shelf to the ad in a social feed to the email in an inbox. This isn't a production design role. You'll be a core creative voice shaping how our brands show up in the world.

Requirements

3+ years of graphic design experience with meaningful work in packaging design and/or brand identity for consumer products (CPG, beauty, food & bev, supplements, or similar).
A portfolio that shows strong packaging or branding work — not just digital. We want to see structural thinking: how you approach a dieline, a shelf presence problem, or a brand system.
Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator and Photoshop required; InDesign a plus).
Experience with Figma for digital design workflows.
Understanding of print production — file prep, color management, vendor communication.
Strong typography, layout, and color sense.
Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-moving environment with minimal hand-holding.
Excellent English communication skills (written and verbal).
A proactive, ownership-driven mindset — you bring ideas, not just executions.

Nice To Haves

After Effects, Cinema 4D, or Keyshot for 3D renders and motion.

Responsibilities

Packaging & Label Design: Design and iterate on product packaging, labels, and inserts for retail, Amazon, and DTC — working within print production requirements (dielines, bleeds, color separations, substrate considerations).
Brand Identity & Systems: Maintain and evolve brand guidelines across our portfolio. Ensure visual consistency from shelf to screen.
Digital & Social Creatives: Design high-performing assets for paid social, organic content, and marketplace listings. Create static and animated (GIF/MP4) ad creatives.
Email & Web Design: Conceptualize and design email campaigns, landing pages, banners, and website assets that convert.
Retail-Ready Assets: Produce sell sheets, trade decks, and retailer-facing materials that meet buyer presentation standards.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work directly with product development, marketing, and growth teams from concept through production. You'll be involved early — not handed a brief after all decisions are made.
