Package Design Associate (Bilingual Korean)
About The Position
The Package Design Associate will be responsible for leading the end-to-end development of package designs for new and existing products. This includes creating dielines, typography, layout, color selection, and preparing final production files. The role involves reviewing and applying label data from R&D, ensuring accuracy and consistency in elements like cooking directions and ingredient lists. The associate will manage artwork routing for cross-functional reviews with R&D, Sales, and Marketing, incorporating feedback through approval cycles. A key aspect of the role is ensuring all packaging complies with FDA labeling rules and any country-specific regulations for export items.
