Middleweight Packaging Designer

The Role

You’ll create and develop packaging design across food and drink for some of the country’s most recognisable brands. This is not an execution seat. You’re expected to bring conceptual and strategic thinking from the sketch stage, and to present your ideas directly – to internal teams and to clients – and defend the thinking behind them.

You’ll work under the guidance of the senior team, including a Creative Director with 15+ years across respected UK and US branding studios. You’ll also help develop junior designers and shape how the studio works day to day. Collaboration here is direct: strategy, production and client service sit close, not siloed.

• £30,000 – £34,000
• Hybrid working
• 25 days holiday plus your birthday off
• Wellness budget
• Training and development support
• Annual agency away days
• Based in the central Leeds studio

You have three to five years in a design or branding agency, with hands-on FMCG or retail packaging experience – food and drink especially – and a portfolio built on real client work. You’re fluent across Adobe CC and comfortable presenting your own ideas. You’re at the point where you want to own concepts and start mentoring, not just deliver artwork.
