About The Position

We’re looking for a senior-level designer with exceptional visual judgment and deep expertise in print production, packaging, and point-of-sale execution. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who enjoys working in the details while maintaining a strong eye for brand consistency, quality, and shelf impact. You’ll serve as our primary expert for packaging and print production—owning execution from concept refinement through final press approval. While this is not a people-management or strategic planning role, it does require confidence, accountability, and the ability to guide creative decisions based on real-world manufacturing constraints. This role is ideal for a senior designer or art-director-caliber individual who prefers doing the work and ensuring it’s done right.

Requirements

5–8+ years of experience in packaging design, production design, or print production
Demonstrated ownership of both visual quality and print execution
Experience in CPG, wellness, food & beverage, or retail packaging
Deep knowledge of print processes, materials, substrates, and packaging constraints
Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop)
Experience managing multiple SKUs and fast-moving revisions
Exceptional attention to detail with strong organizational habits
Clear, direct communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally
Ability to operate independently and take full accountability for deliverables
A portfolio showing high-quality packaging and retail work through final production is strongly preferred.

Familiarity with point-of-sale, trade marketing, and retail execution
