Job description

About Us

BKC is an emotionally driven, strategy-led design studio.

We work with CPG brands poised for growth to refine their positioning, brand and packaging,

so that the right people can find them and love them (forever).

Our work is in service of balance.Clarity vs creativity, work vs play, delight vs disrupt. Somewhere in that tension, is the magicthat already exists in an idea.

We cook up distinctive identities, packaging systems and brand worlds that drive business results for the brands we partner up with. We believe killer work comes from curiosity, collaboration and being a bit of a weirdo. We're committed to creating an environment where designers can learn, grow and do the best work of their careers.

A lot of the above sounds quite serious. At the end of the day we’re all just ants, and it’s pretty cool to go all in on the things you love. We might like to do that with you.

Key Responsibilities

You will:

• Lead the execution of branding and packaging projects from concept through delivery.
• Define creative approaches and maintain exceptional standards of craft across project outputs.
• Spend the majority of your time designing, bringing together logo, color, type, iconography and illustrative components - both into briefs and composed original works, contributing to world class brand worlds.
• Contribute to direction & creative review of Junior and Midweight work.
• Lead creative presentations and confidently communicate design rationale with clients.
• Collaborate with Strategists, Creative Directors, and Project Managers to ensure projects remain strategically aligned and commercially effective.
• Contribute to mentoring and developing less experienced designers through constructive feedback and coaching.
• Contribute to creative planning and studio standards.
• Build trusted relationships with clients through confident communication and dependable delivery.
• Identify opportunities to strengthen project outcomes beyond the original brief.
• Champion continuous improvement across creative quality, processes and team capability.

Role Requirements

• 3+ yrs agency experience in branding and packaging design.
• A portfolio demonstrating exceptional conceptual thinking and creative execution.
• A wildly varied Youtube Algorithm.
• Strong leadership and mentoring capabilities.
• Excellent presentation, communication and storytelling skills.
• Advanced knowledge of branding systems, packaging design and consumer brands.
• The ability to balance strategic thinking with outstanding creative craft.
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma.
• Experience working with US/Canadian consumer brands is a huge advantage.

Benefits

You'll join a rapidly growing & highly collaborative studio where creative thinking, continuous learning and professional development are genuinely valued. This role provides the opportunity to influence agency standards, mentor the next generation of designers and play a significant role in shaping our creative output.
