## Description

We're looking for a **Graphic Designer** to create packaging and merchandise designs for food and beverage brands at a vertically integrated CPG development firm. You will work directly on the visual output that goes on shelves, on products, and on branded merchandise for a range of emerging and established beverage and CPG brands.

This is a hands-on production role. You need to understand print specifications, packaging dielines, and how to design for physical products rather than just screens. If you have strong design fundamentals, experience in food and beverage or CPG packaging, and can move quickly between brand projects without losing quality, this role is a strong fit.

### Why You'll Want to Join

-   You will be paid in **USD** (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
-   **Paid Time Off** in accordance with company policy
-   Observance of **Holidays** per company guidelines
-   **100% remote setup** so you can work wherever you're most productive
-   Work on real CPG brands from concept through production-ready files
-   Be part of a minority-owned firm with a strong mission and a growing client roster

### What You'll Work On

**Packaging Design**

-   Design packaging for food and beverage products including labels, cans, bottles, boxes, and pouches
-   Work from brand briefs and develop concepts through to print-ready production files
-   Apply strong layout, typography, and hierarchy principles to packaging formats
-   Ensure all designs meet print specifications, dieline requirements, and production standards
-   Collaborate with the team on revisions and iteration through the client approval process

**Merchandise Design**

-   Design branded merchandise including apparel, accessories, promotional items, and retail-ready products
-   Adapt brand identities across a range of merchandise formats and substrates
-   Deliver production-ready files formatted for the relevant print or manufacturing process

**Brand and Visual Support**

-   Maintain visual consistency across all design deliverables for each brand
-   Support brand identity work including logos, color systems, and typography when needed
-   Organize and manage design files and assets in a clean, accessible system

### What You Bring

-   Proven experience designing packaging for food, beverage, or CPG brands
-   Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite including Illustrator and Photoshop
-   Understanding of print production, dielines, bleed, and packaging specifications
-   Experience designing for both packaging and merchandise formats
-   Strong eye for typography, layout, and brand-consistent design
-   Ability to manage multiple brand projects simultaneously and deliver clean, production-ready files
-   Organized file management habits and attention to detail

### Nice to Have

-   Experience working with emerging or startup CPG brands
-   Familiarity with Figma for collaborative design workflows
-   Background in consumer goods, retail, or brand licensing
-   Experience designing for minority-owned or culturally driven brands

### How to Apply

Please include:

1.  Your **updated resume**
2.  A **portfolio link** showing at least 4 to 6 examples of packaging and merchandise design work across more than one brand or product category
3.  A **short Loom video (1 to 2 minutes)** introducing yourself, walking through one packaging project you are proud of, and describing how you approached the design from brief to production-ready file

**Only candidates who submit both a portfolio and Loom video will be moved to the next step of the hiring process.**

If you design for physical products, understand what it takes to get a package from concept to shelf, and want to work on a diverse range of CPG brands, this role gives you the creative scope and the direct client impact to do your best work.
