About the Client
A consumer-focused brand organization spanning consumer electronics, wellness, and lifestyle categories is looking for a Packaging Designer to lead packaging and visual design solutions across its product portfolio.
The organization operates across multiple consumer product categories, working with external creative and production partners to bring packaging systems from concept through to shelf. The team blends strategic brand thinking with hands-on production oversight, treating packaging as a core brand touchpoint rather than an afterthought.
The Packaging Designer will own packaging design end-to-end — from initial concept through production-ready files — shaping how consumers first encounter the brand on shelf, in the unboxing moment, and across retail and campaign touchpoints. The role also extends into art direction for product launches and campaigns, and into retail and point-of-sale asset design.
Success in this role means packaging systems that are visually compelling, production-accurate, and consistent across every consumer touchpoint — elevating brand perception while staying true to structural and material requirements.
