Their team is remote, tight-knit, and passionate about helping cannabis brands grow, with creativity and edge.

We're looking for a Senior Packaging Designer based outside the U.S. to join the team. In this role, you'll lead packaging design efforts from the earliest concept to press-ready files, collaborating with clients and internal teams to deliver packaging that's visually compelling, strategically grounded, and production-ready.

What You\'ll Do

• Translate brand positioning into bold, shelf-smart design
• Work closely with strategists and creative teammates across multiple time zones
• Stay sharp on packaging trends, global markets, and design innovations
• Present your concepts clearly and confidently, incorporating client feedback
• Prepare technically sound, print-ready files that follow specs and brand guidelines
• Collaborate with production teams and vendors to ensure high-quality execution
• Mentor junior designers and offer constructive feedback
• Juggle multiple projects and deadlines with ease and clarity

What We\'re Looking For

• Based outside of the United States (this is a global remote role)
• Bachelor\'s degree in Graphic Design or equivalent experience
• 5+ years in packaging design, ideally in the cannabis industry or fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) settings
• A first-class portfolio showcasing packaging design expertise across various formats and substrates (boxes, labels, shrink, etc.)
• Expert in Adobe Creative Suite - Illustrator and Photoshop
• Solid grasp of printing techniques, dielines, substrates, and print production
• Strong communication and presentation skills in English
• Ability to work independently and manage time across international teams
• Bonus points if you\'ve worked with cannabis or regulated products, and mentoring or creative leadership experience

Why You\'ll Love It

• Fully remote, globally connected
• Work with edgy, entrepreneurial brands
• Collaborate with a team that values creativity and good people
• USD-based compensation
• Flexible hours across time zones
• Opportunity to help shape the brand\'s creative vision
