• Designing packaging that stands out—premium, elegant, modern, or playful depending on the brand.
• Working on new product ranges, seasonal collections, and creative campaigns.
• Ensuring design quality across print, packaging, and digital.
• Managing and mentoring a team of designers.

Who We’re Looking For

• A highly creative Art Director with strong experience in branding and packaging.
• Someone with a vision-driven mindset and the ability to craft compelling packaging.
• A leader who can guide and grow a creative team.
