Branding & Packaging Designer
Ejam Inc, Santa Ana, CA, United States
Location
Onsite - Santa Ana, CA
Compensation $65,000-$75,000
Hours 8:30am - 5:30pm PST
About Us eJam is a bootstrapped consumer products company that has built, scaled, and exited multiple brands — all without ever taking a dollar of outside capital. Our portfolio includes category leaders ranked at the top of Amazon, carried in major retailers nationwide, and sold across DTC, marketplaces, and every channel in between.
We're not a startup hoping something works. We're a team that has done it repeatedly — taken products from zero to eight figures, landed them on retail shelves nationwide, and built real brands that consumers love. We operate like a holding company with the speed of a startup: small team, no bureaucracy, massive ownership.
This is the place where you'll see the entire machine — sourcing, product development, packaging, manufacturing, compliance, marketing, marketplace strategy, retail — all under one roof. If you want to learn how consumer products actually get built and shipped at scale, there is no faster education than this.
The Role We're looking for a Branding & Packaging Designer who can own the visual identity of our brands across every consumer touchpoint — from the physical package on a retail shelf to the ad in a social feed to the email in an inbox. This isn't a production design role. You'll be a core creative voice shaping how our brands show up in the world.
What You'll Do Everyday
Packaging & Label Design: Design and iterate on product packaging, labels, and inserts for retail, Amazon, and DTC — working within print production requirements (dielines, bleeds, color separations, substrate considerations)
Brand Identity & Systems: Maintain and evolve brand guidelines across our portfolio. Ensure visual consistency from shelf to screen
Digital & Social Creatives: Design high-performing assets for paid social, organic content, and marketplace listings. Create static and animated (GIF/MP4) ad creatives
Email & Web Design: Conceptualize and design email campaigns, landing pages, banners, and website assets that convert
Retail-Ready Assets: Produce sell sheets, trade decks, and retailer-facing materials that meet buyer presentation standards
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work directly with product development, marketing, and growth teams from concept through production. You'll be involved early — not handed a brief after all decisions are made
Requirements You're a Fit If
3+ years of graphic design experience with meaningful work in packaging design and/or brand identity for consumer products (CPG, beauty, food & bev, supplements, or similar)
A portfolio that shows strong packaging or branding work — not just digital. We want to see structural thinking: how you approach a dieline, a shelf presence problem, or a brand system
Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator and Photoshop required; InDesign a plus)
Experience with Figma for digital design workflows
Bonus: After Effects, Cinema 4D, or Keyshot for 3D renders and motion
Understanding of print production — file prep, color management, vendor communication
Strong typography, layout, and color sense
Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-moving environment with minimal hand-holding
Excellent English communication skills (written and verbal)
A proactive, ownership-driven mindset — you bring ideas, not just executions
Benefits What We Offer
Quarterly performance bonuses
Paid time off & observed local holidays
Amazing pet-friendly office environment
Real brand ownership — your work ends up on retail shelves, not in a pitch deck
Fast-track growth in a small, high-velocity team
