Job summary

Constant Hire in Dallas is seeking a Senior Graphic Designer to act as the primary internal creative resource for our client’s brands, delivering packaging, brand assets, digital content, and trade-show materials.

This hands-on role requires strong typography, production art skills, and the ability to manage multiple brands across packaging, digital, and retail channels while maintaining high creativity and accuracy.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional graphic design experience, preferably within consumer packaged goods, retail, branding, or a packaging-focused agency.
• Demonstrated experience creating original brand and packaging concepts—not solely adapting or producing previously established creative.
• Significant experience designing packaging for consumer products sold through retail or ecommerce channels.
• Strong knowledge of dielines, mechanicals, print production, prepress, color management, proofing, and production-ready artwork preparation.
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Acrobat and PowerPoint.
• Strong typography, layout, composition, visual storytelling, and information‑hierarchy skills.
• Experience designing across packaging, digital, ecommerce, social media, presentations, and physical marketing materials.
• Ability to manage several brands and concurrent projects in a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial environment.
• Strong attention to detail and consistent quality‑control discipline.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, manage time effectively, and complete assignments without continuous supervision.
• Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to present thoughtful recommendations when facing incomplete information or creative challenges.
• Clear, respectful, and professional communication skills.
• Ability to receive direction and feedback constructively while contributing an informed creative point of view.

Responsibilities

• Develop original concepts translating brand strategy, consumer insights, campaign objectives, and project briefs into original, compelling creative concepts.
• Advance brand systems: Create and evolve brand identities, including logos, typography, color palettes, iconography, visual guidelines, and other foundational brand elements.
• Extend agency work: Apply and expand externally developed brand systems across new products, formats, campaigns, and channels without relying on agencies to solve every new creative application.
• Present thoughtful options: Develop multiple viable creative directions when appropriate and clearly communicate the reasoning, strengths, and tradeoffs behind each.
• Protect brand consistency: Maintain visual consistency across packaging, retail, ecommerce, digital marketing, social media, sales materials, and physical brand experiences.
• Own packaging development: Lead packaging design and execution across brands, from initial concepts through production-ready artwork.
• Create retail-ready designs: Develop packaging that is distinctive, commercially effective, easy to understand, and appropriate for its category and retail environment.
• Manage technical execution: Work confidently with dielines, mechanicals, print specifications, prepress requirements, color systems, finishes, and production-ready files.
• Ensure artwork accuracy: Confirm that packaging reflects approved copy, claims, specifications, legal lines, barcodes, dimensions, and other provided requirements before release.
• Manage versions and extensions: Maintain accuracy and consistency across artwork revisions, product variants, fragrances, flavors, sizes, SKUs, and product lines.
• Support production quality: Review proofs, communicate artwork requirements, and collaborate with printers, converters, manufacturers, and other partners to resolve production issues.
