Sr Graphic Designer (Packaging / Branding / AI Enabled)

We're looking for an AI-Integrated Design Consultant to support our Global Design team. This role is for a creative visionary who is proficient in leveraging Generative AI as a strategic co-pilot for accelerated ideation and hyper-efficient asset creation. The ideal candidate will seamlessly integrate these AI-generated outputs into a rigorous, iterative design workflow using the latest GenAI tools alongside Adobe Creative Suite to curate, composite, and produce high-quality, on-brand final deliverables. They will be responsible for translating creative briefs into compelling visual strategies, guiding the entire design process from initial High-Fidelity Prompt Architecture to final polished asset.
Responsibilities
Creative Translation: Deconstruct client briefs and marketing goals into actionable visual concepts, moods, and themes.
AI Prompt Engineering: Develop and refine sophisticated text and image prompts to generate a high volume of diverse visual ideas
Visual Exploration: Use AI tools for rapid "what if" scenarios, exploring dozens of stylistic directions (color palettes, compositions, typographic treatments) in hours, not days.
Curation & Selection: Critically evaluate AI-generated outputs, selecting the strongest, most on-brand concepts to move forward into development.
Hybrid Workflow: Export selected AI assets as a "creative base" and bring them into Adobe Creative Suite for iterative development.
Compositing & Retouching: Use Photoshop to composite multiple AI-generated elements, clean up artifacts, match branding, and perform high-end retouching.
Vector & Layout: Use Illustrator and InDesign to integrate AI-generated textures or elements into brand-compliant layouts, adding typography, logos, and vector graphics.
Feedback Loops: Present initial "AI-assisted" comps to team, gather feedback, and rapidly iterate by either refining the AI prompts or making manual adjustments in the Creative Suite.
Asset Scalability: Rework, upscale, and adapt initial concepts into a full suite of deliverables (e.g., static ads, social media posts, motion graphics elements).
Requirements
A strong portfolio that clearly shows a documented hybrid process showcasing initial AI prompt structure, resulting AI-generated images, and the final, refined deliverables produced in Adobe Creative Suite.
Expert Fluency with Generative AI Tools, demonstrating a mastery of Prompt Architecture, Negative Prompting, and Iterative Model Refinement across key platforms (e.g., Nano Banana, DALL-E, Firefly).
Demonstrated ability to develop and implement successful design strategies.
Expert Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite
Highly attuned to consumer packaging design requirements
Strong understanding of the design process from concept to execution.
Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills.
Ability to inspire and contribute to a collaborative and innovative environment.
Flexible, open team player with a positive attitude and the ability to work autonomously in a global context
Must supply own software/hardware
NYC accessibility for occasional in-office connections is a plus, but not a deal breaker.
