Product Designer; Consumer Goods

Clementine Paper creates fresh, fun, fashion-forward eco-friendly stationery, gift, and lifestyle products for major mass retailers. As we expand into new categories, we’re looking for an on-site Product Designer who can bring products to life from concept through production while balancing creativity, functionality, cost, and manufacturability.

This role is primarily focused on product design, with strong involvement in product development execution and cross-functional coordination. The Product Designer will work closely with the Product Development Manager to execute against business priorities while taking full ownership of their assigned product categories and design deliverables. Occasional graphic and surface design support will also be part of the role. Experience with Industrial Design makes you a top candidate.

Please Note: This role requires prior experience designing physical consumer products and surface applications for manufacturing. Web, agency, or purely digital design backgrounds are not a fit for this position.

• Design and develop consumer products from concept through production handoff
• Translate creative direction and business priorities into well-resolved, production-ready designs
• Create detailed specifications including materials, construction, CMF direction, and manufacturing requirements
• Ensure design intent is maintained through sampling and final production

• Partner closely with the Product Development Manager to execute against timelines, costing targets, and retailer requirements
• Prepare production-ready files, CAD models, mechanicals, and documentation for manufacturing
• Communicate technical details clearly to factories to support accurate execution
• Review samples, identify issues, and propose practical, manufacturable solutions

• Take responsibility for assigned product categories, managing design tasks from concept to completion
• Conduct competitive reviews and trend research to inform product updates and newness
• Continuously refine and improve products based on feedback and performance

• Apply and adapt surface artwork across product formats
• Support packaging layouts, production mechanicals, and related graphic needs as required
• Ensure visual consistency and strong product storytelling across categories

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial or Product Design (preferred)
• 5+ years of consumer product design experience through production
• Strong portfolio demonstrating thoughtful design process and shipped products
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, Solid Works, Key Shot, Illustrator, and Photoshop
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes / understanding of print production and surface application is a plus
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Clear communicator who can articulate design decisions and collaborate effectively
• Self-motivated with the ability to manage assigned projects independently

This role is ideal for a product designer who enjoys owning the full lifecycle of a product, from early ideation through engineering collaboration and final production, and who understands how to design products that are both beautiful and commercially viable.
