Senior Packaging Designer - Beauty (Primary & Component Design)

CoCreativ•New York, NY

4d•Hybrid

About The Position

We’re looking for a Senior Multidisciplinary Designer with deep beauty experience to help shape the future of our product and brand world. This is a packaging-forward design role with a strong emphasis on primary packaging and component design — bottles, caps, closures, compacts, applicators, and forms developed from scratch. You should be as comfortable sketching and iterating on the physical details of a package as you are designing the graphic system that lives on it. This role is ideal for a designer who loves materiality, tactility, proportion, and real-world execution — not just digital polish. You understand how a product feels in the hand, how it reflects light, how it wears over time, and how design choices support the brand experience. You will work across packaging, print, social, digital, and brand content, helping build a cohesive, modern, and elevated visual language for the brand.
