About The Position

We're seeking a talented and experienced Packaging Designer with a strong background in packaging engineering to join our innovative health and tech brand. This role requires a creative individual who can not only conceptualize and design visually appealing packaging but also possess the technical expertise to ensure its functionality, sustainability, and manufacturability.
Key Responsibilities
Design & Development: Lead the conceptualization, design, and development of all packaging for new and existing products, ensuring brand consistency and aesthetic appeal.
Structural Concepting & Prototyping: Leverage foundational packaging engineering expertise to develop and prototype structural designs and select appropriate materials, especially when supporting seasonal campaigns or partnership packaging. While core engineering leads evergreen portfolio development, the designer must be able to step in to establish initial technical viability for agile projects.
Collaboration: Work closely with marketing, product development, and supply chain teams to ensure packaging meets all functional, aesthetic, and budgetary requirements.
Sustainability: Research and integrate sustainable and eco-friendly materials and practices into packaging designs.
Vendor Collaboration & Artwork Management: Collaborate with external vendors and manufacturers on packaging artwork, driving necessary iterations to ensure the correct execution of design specifications and files for timely production.
Design review: Collaborate with the Packaging Engineering team to conduct design reviews against rigorous packaging standards. The goal is to evaluate, refine, and iterate on design concepts to ensure optimal product protection, durability, and a positive customer unboxing experience, incorporating feedback from formal test results.
Future thinking: You will be challenged to collaborate with the product management and internal ID team to develop our packaging portfolio & roadmap.
