At Vilgain, we’re committed to making high-quality food and lifestyle products accessible to everyone — promoting a healthier, more sustainable future worldwide.

We’re looking for a visionary Packaging Designer to work closely with our Packaging Technologist and define the future look and feel of Vilgain products across international markets. This role is for someone with a strong design vision, bold ideas, and the ability to turn creative direction into real, scalable packaging that stands out on shelves and online. The role can be based in the UK or fully remote.

What will you do?

• Own and drive the creative vision for Vilgain packaging across food, supplements, and lifestyle products
• Define and evolve Vilgain’s packaging design direction, systems, and long‑term visual language

What should you bring?

• Proven experience as a Packaging Designer with a strong, opinionated portfolio that shows clear design vision
• Exceptional visual taste, typography skills, and attention to detail
• Ability to think in systems, not just individual designs
• Advanced knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator is a must)
• Confidence to own creative decisions and explain the “why” behind them
• Experience in FMCG or food is a plus, but vision and creativity come first
• Based in the UK or open to working fully remote

Why join Vilgain?

• Full ownership of packaging design vision for a fast‑growing international brand
• Direct influence on how millions of customers experience Vilgain products
• Close collaboration with in‑house packaging technologists and product teams
• A company that values strong opinions, creativity, and bold thinking
• Flexible working hours, remote‑friendly setup, and 5 weeks of vacation
• Team events, workouts, and a strong Vilgain culture

🚀 If you’re a designer with a strong point of view and the ambition to shape a brand’s visual legacy, we’d love to hear from you.
