About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead the concept, sketching, and development of primary packaging and component forms from scratch, including bottles, tubes, jars, pumps, caps, closures, compacts, applicators, and custom engineered forms.
Design the full physical system of the package, not just its surface decoration—considering ergonomics, usability, functionality, and consumer interaction.
Create and refine 3D CAD models in Rhino, translating sketches and concepts into manufacturable product forms.
Develop high-quality KeyShot renderings for internal reviews, presentations, and concept validation.
Explore materials, finishes, coatings, textures, and decoration techniques with a strong understanding of manufacturing constraints.
Partner closely with Packaging Engineering, Product Development, and external vendors to ensure feasibility, tooling readiness, and production execution.
Review prototypes, evaluate ergonomics and consumer usability, and iterate designs through multiple development stages through final production.
Design across packaging graphics, print, retail, digital, social, and brand communication systems.
Develop cohesive visual languages that support product storytelling and reinforce brand positioning.
Translate product benefits and innovation into clear, elevated, consumer-friendly design systems.
Ensure consistency across all consumer touchpoints while continuously elevating the brand aesthetic.
Create original design systems rooted in brand DNA—not templated or derivative solutions.
Work closely with Marketing, Product Development, Creative, Packaging Engineering, and global vendor partners.
Present design concepts, mood boards, 3D explorations, and strategic rationale with clarity and confidence.
Contribute to a highly collaborative, detail-driven, and innovation-focused creative environment.
Balance creative ambition with production realities, cost considerations, and launch timelines.
