Role Description. This is a full-time role for a Packaging Designer specializing in Production & Systems. Based in Brooklyn, NY, this designer will be responsible for the execution and rollout of packaging across our 1,500+ SKU lineup. While this role requires a strong design eye, the primary focus is on technical precision and scalability. You will take approved brand concepts and adapt them across complex product families, ensuring that every file sent to print is technically flawless.
Daily Tasks
- SKU Rollout & Adaptation: Building a design system and adapting it across multiple variations (flavors, sizes, pouches, boxes) without losing brand consistency.
- Attention to Detail: Ensuring fonts are outlined, colors are set to correct CMYK/Spot profiles, and bleeds/dielines are accurate before hitting the manufacturer.
- Typography & Hierarchy: Managing dense information (nutrition facts, legal copy, ingredients) while maintaining aesthetic balance and legibility.
- Materiality & Finishes: Collaborating on the selection and application of print finishes to ensure the physical product feels as premium as it looks.
- Brand System Implementation: Ensuring the visual identity remains cohesive as it stretches across new product categories and form factors.
Qualifications
- Expertise in Packaging Design with a portfolio showing realized, printed work (not just digital mockups).
- Advanced speed & proficiency in Adobe Illustrator.
- Strong knowledge of print production processes.
- Extreme attention to detail (ability to spot typos, kerning errors, and misalignments).
- Experience managing complex product families or high-volume SKU libraries.
- Strong communication skills needed to coordinate with other employees and internal creative teams.
- Degree or certification in Graphic Design, Visual Arts, or a related field preferred.
