WHY JOIN US

We're building a team of A-players across marketing, growth, and technology—and we're looking for a Senior Graphic Designer. This role is perfect for a hands‑on senior designer who thrives on turning creative vision into reality, taking initial design direction and building scalable, production‑ready packaging systems that perform across every touchpoint.

ROLE SUMMARY

The Senior Graphic Designer (Packaging + Brand Systems) is a creative builder with deep expertise in packaging production, mechanicals, and print systems, and strong fluency across digital and brand channels. You'll work closely with the Creative Director, who sets the initial creative vision and design direction for each brand's packaging. Once that vision is defined, you'll extend, scale, and execute it across SKUs, flavors, and formats, translating the concept into flawless, production‑ready mechanicals and cohesive brand systems that live across print, digital, and retail. This is a hands‑on role for a designer who is equally passionate about craft, precision, and performance, bringing designs to life from die line to digital.

• Support the development of campaign visuals, retail displays, and promotional assets that bring our brands to life.
• Partner cross‑functionally with Founders, Marketing, and Innovation teams to translate strategy into impactful creative.

• Design high‑performing digital assets for Meta, TikTok, Amazon, and eCommerce platforms.
• Concept and design for email, SMS, and paid social campaigns, optimizing for platform‑specific performance.

• Collaborate closely with the Creative Director to evolve packaging and visual systems.
• Provide art direction support for photo shoots, renderings, and asset development.
• Stay informed on packaging trends, sustainable materials, and digital design innovation.
• Manage projects with strong organization and attention to detail in a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial environment.
