Requirements

What you’ll need

Graphic sensibility: You have an exceptionally strong eye for colour, composition, and visual hierarchy - and the ability to create powerful graphic combinations across colour, typography, illustration, and form. Not just the ability to apply a palette or follow a system, but the instinct to know.
Creative confidence: You can originate design routes from a blank page and work fluently within an existing system. You know when to push creatively and when to hold the line on consistency.
Commercial savviness: You think about the recipient and the giver in every design decision, and you understand the relationship between categories of design and pricing.
Design skills: You have great packaging and product design experience and understand the print and production process end to end. You're as comfortable with material and format decisions as you are with visual ones.
Collaboration: You're comfortable working closely with creative, range, and procurement teams - not just other designers - and you can hold your own in conversations where creative and commercial priorities need to be balanced.
Pace and precision: You work with accuracy and speed under deadline pressure. You don't let detail slip, and you communicate proactively when a decision is needed.
Curiosity: You stay close to what's happening in packaging, gifting, and premium food and lifestyle - and you bring that knowledge into your work naturally.
AI, automation & tools: You actively use AI and emerging design tools as part of your creative process - accelerating ideation, exploring directions, and pushing the quality of your output, and is already part of how you work.
Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop), including setting up accurate, production-ready artwork
Strong understanding of packaging die lines, cutter guides, and artwork preparation for print
Knowledge of print processes and finishes (e.g. litho, flexo, digital, foil blocking, embossing/debossing, varnishes)
Experience working across a range of materials (e.g. paper stocks, card boards, tins, wrappers)
Ability to create accurate mock-ups and prototypes, both physical and digital
Familiarity with supplier and manufacturer workflows, including pre-press requirements
Understanding of sustainable packaging principles (e.g. recyclability, material reduction)
