Job Description

We're looking for a Senior Multidisciplinary Designer with significant experience in the beauty, cosmetics, skincare, haircare, fragrance, or personal care industries to help shape the future of an iconic global beauty brand.

This is a highly visible hybrid role combining structural packaging design, packaging graphics, and e-commerce creative. You'll lead the design of primary packaging while developing compelling digital assets that bring products to life across retail, e-commerce, and social channels.

The ideal candidate has a strong portfolio demonstrating both physical product design and digital brand execution within the beauty industry. You understand how consumers shop for beauty products both on shelf and online, and how thoughtful design creates desire, drives purchase, and builds lasting brand equity.

You'll be equally comfortable sketching bottles, caps, closures, compacts, brushes, applicators, and other packaging components from scratch as you are creating product detail pages, digital merchandising assets, campaign creative, and social content.

This role is ideal for a designer who has an exceptional eye for color, trend, finish, typography, and materiality. You understand how packaging, digital storytelling, and brand expression work together to create a seamless consumer experience from first impression through purchase.

You'll collaborate with Product Development, Marketing, Creative, and manufacturing partners from concept through production, ensuring every touchpoint reflects a premium and cohesive brand experience.
