Job description

Essor, where brands take flight. We find digital challenger brands and supercharge them into iconic global legends that consumers love. As a next-generation consumer products platform, we leverage technology, industry expertise, and strategic collaborations to ignite growth and launch brands beyond expectations.

Essor’s brand portfolio today includes a broad range of rapidly growing health & wellness and lifestyle brands like Boka, ZitSticka, Puracy, OTOTO Design, FreshCap, Iron Flask, Fullstar, NumNum, Key Nutrients, and Viking Revolution that are sold on Amazon, Direct to Consumer channels, and through national retailers like Target, CVS, and Walmart.

At Essor, we are at the forefront of leveraging AI, automation, and emerging technologies to challenge traditional ways of working. We are empowered to engage technology-driven initiatives. We want individuals who are hands‑on, curious, and excited to be part of this journey. We expect Essorians to actively leverage AI, data, and automation to drive impact in their daily work. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of AI coding agents to automate tasks (e.g., Copilot, Antigravity), development of automated or agentic workflows (e.g., N8N, Dify), and engagement with data analysis tools (including SQL where relevant). While mastery is not required at the outset, rapid learning, technical fluency, and continuous upskilling are core expectations. The company will support your growth through guidance and coaching, and you are expected to actively develop and apply your skills as part of your role.

About The Role

We are looking for an independent Packaging & Graphic Designer to own end‑to‑end design execution for our Consumables Business Unit. You will primarily support three of our core brands—ZitSticka (acne care), Tree of Life (serums), and Rockin' Green (performance laundry)—selling across Amazon US, DTC, and social channels.

This role is a split between Packaging & Print Design and Digital & Performance Design. You will manage projects from initial brief to final production‑ready delivery while working closely with Brand Marketing and Product Development.

What You'll Do

Packaging & Print Design

• Execute packaging & print designs from brief to production‑ready artwork, including mood boards, layout iterations, and final files.
• Deliver technically accurate artwork — correct dielines, color profiles (CMYK/Pantone), bleeds, safe zones, print‑appropriate resolutions, and finishes.
• Maintain and evolve brand‑aligned packaging systems across multiple SKUs and franchises within each brand.
• Support new product launches and product variations by exploring new packaging concepts, structures, and material options.
• Cross‑Functional Coordination: Partner with Product Development, Legal, and Copywriting teams to gather inputs, flag risks early, and maintain organized master asset libraries.

Digital & Performance Graphic Design

• Design Meta ad concepts (static and simple motion) built for stop‑scroll performance — hook‑driven visual hierarchy, thumb‑stopping first frames, and clear ties to the offer or claim.
• Adapt and iterate winning creative concepts into multiple variants for A/B testing across audiences and placements (Meta Ads, D2C UI/UX, etc).
• Deliver Amazon PDP images: listing images, A+ content, brand story, storefront—respecting Amazon image guidelines and mobile‑first viewing.
• Produce CRM email creative: hero banners, modular blocks, GIFs.
• Support organic social with brand‑consistent posts, story templates, and short‑form video thumbnails/covers if required.
• Creative Ideation: Contribute visual concepts for product benefits and mechanisms, maintaining reusable template libraries for fast turnarounds.

Who You Are

• With at least 3 years of professional design experience, with demonstrable work across both packaging/print and digital/performance formats.
• Strong portfolio showing packaging systems (multi‑SKU or franchise‑level, ideally with production experience) and performance creative (Meta ads, PDPs, or CRM).
• Expert in Adobe Creative Suite — Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign. Figma proficiency for digital handoffs.
• Understands print production fundamentals: dielines, bleeds, color profiles, finishes, common substrate constraints.
• Understands Meta ad specs, Amazon image requirements, and email design constraints (image weight, retina sizing, mobile safe zones).
• Comfortable working across multiple brands and switching between visual systems.
• Strong English communication skills, proactive risk escalation, multi‑brand adaptability, and familiarity using AI design tools to speed up workflows.
• Familiarity with AI design tools to speed up creative production.

Strong Advantages

• Background in beauty, skincare, wellness, or regulated consumer goods (OTC/cosmetic claims).
• 3D packaging rendering experience (KeyShot, Blender, or Adobe Dimension).
• Light motion/animation skills for Meta ads and GIFs (After Effects or similar).

Selection Process

Step 1: Initial Screening

A conversational interview with our Talent Acquisition/HR team. We will focus on understanding your core experience, your alignment with the role’s requirements, your aptitude for AI and emerging tech, and your overall cultural fit at Essor.

Step 2: Case Study Assessment

A practical, take‑home exercise designed to give you an opportunity to showcase your strategy, technical capabilities, and problem‑solving skills in a real‑world scenario.

Step 3: Deep Dive & Case Review

You will meet first with the Hiring Manager, followed by the Head of Department. During these sessions, we will review your case study presentation, evaluate your blend of hard and soft skills, and discuss how you would collaborate with the wider team.

Step 4: Final Leadership Interview

A final conversation with members of our leadership team to align on high‑level strategy, business impact, and long‑term vision.

Digital Fluency & AI Integration

At Essor, technical fluency is a prerequisite for excellence. We look for individuals who are excited to pioneer new ways of working by leveraging LLMs, automated workflows, and data analysis tools. Whether it’s deploying AI coding agents (Copilot, Antigravity) to ship faster, building agentic workflows in N8N or Dify, or querying data via SQL to drive objective decisions, you should be a practitioner of the 'automated‑first' mindset. While we don't expect Day 1 mastery, we do require a relentless 'learn‑and‑apply' loop. We are committed to your growth through active mentorship and internal upskilling, expecting in return a commitment to continuous experimentation and the proactive application of AI to solve complex business problems.
