Packaging Designer - high-end, luxury packaging 100% Remote Full-time Contract Role - 6-months to start Description Our client is a fastgrowing consumer technology company and as they continue to scale, they're looking for an experienced Packaging Designer with strong packaging engineering capabilities. This individual will play a key role in shaping packaging for both new and existing products-balancing creativity, sustainability, functionality, and manufacturability. What you'll be doing: Packaging Design & Development: Take ownership of the creative and technical development of packaging across both new launches and existing product lines. Drive concept generation, visual design, and refinement to maintain a cohesive brand look and feel. Structural Design & Prototyping: Apply core packaging engineering knowledge to build early structural concepts, create prototypes, and recommend suitable materials. This includes supporting limitededition, seasonal, or collaborationbased packaging needs. Although longterm range development is handled by engineering teams, you will provide rapid technical assessments and early feasibility guidance for fastmoving projects. CrossFunctional Alignment: Partner with teams across marketing, product, industrial design, and operations to ensure packaging solutions hit creative objectives, performance expectations, and cost targets. Sustainability Integration: Stay informed on environmentally responsible materials and manufacturing approaches, incorporating sustainable practices into packaging whenever possible. Vendor & Production Coordination: Work with external suppliers to translate design intent into productionready artwork and specifications. Manage revisions, proofing, and file preparation to keep manufacturing on schedule and ensure highquality outcomes. Design Evaluations: Collaborate with packaging engineers to review concepts against performance standards and testing data. Iterate on structural and visual elements to optimize durability, product protection, and the overall unboxing experience. Strategic Contribution: Partner with product and creative leadership to help evolve the longterm packaging roadmap, contributing ideas that elevate future design direction and portfolio cohesion. We are seeking someone who: * Is a highly engaged, handson creative who can drive ideas from early concept all the way through final delivery. * Has a genuine enthusiasm for design and a strong interest in consumer products within the wellness or tech space. * Excels in a dynamic environment where priorities and timelines can shift quickly. * Works independently, stays ahead of deadlines, and comfortably juggles multiple projects at once. * Communicates clearly, presents ideas with confidence, and can articulate design decisions in a thoughtful and compelling way. What You Bring: * 6-8 years of professional experience in packaging design, preferably supporting consumerfacing product lines. * A track record of creating packaging solutions for brands in the consumer goods space. * Strong proficiency in industrystandard design tools, including Adobe Creative Suite, SolidWorks, CAD (2D & 3D), or comparable 2D/3D modeling software. * Solid understanding of packaging substrates, production workflows, and how packaging integrates into broader supply chain operations. * A portfolio showcasing both aesthetic creativity and practical engineering or problemsolving capabilities. * Experience collaborating with senior creative partners during concept development and ideation phases. * Awareness of broader cultural influences-such as art, photography, design, and fashion-and the ability to use those insights to inspire relevant, onbrand design directions. * Strong eye for typography, visual hierarchy, and overall userexperience principles. * Willingness to travel to manufacturing partners and participate in handson production or development reviews.
