1099 - Mid Level- Designer and Packaging Branding

We need an English-fluent Mid Level- Designer and Packaging Branding, based in Latin America, available to work remotely.

We are looking for someone with exceptional communication and relationship-building skills, who embraces changes while maintaining strong attention to detail. An interested and proactive person, who's constantly learning and improving their skills.

Are you the one we are looking for?

Responsibilities:

• Own design for assigned fragrance collections and brand systems across SKUs, sizes, and substrates (with guidance from Sr/AD as needed).
• Build distinct visual territories: color palettes, typography, finishes, pattern/illustration, iconography, and layout rules.
• Show real stylistic range—luxury, masstige, mass, clean/clinical, vintage apothecary, Y2K/Gen Z, gender-neutral, holiday/gifting, collab/celebrity.
• Translate trends and cultural signals into commercially strong, retailer-ready designs with clear hierarchy and shopability.
• Create on-pack architecture (brand, line, variant, claims, regulatory) that balances beauty with clarity.
• Design comps and mockups that sell the story: on-pack, secondary, merchandising, e-comm thumbnails/PDP, and simple POS.
• Build concise style guides/toolkits that scale—logo usage, type systems, color logic, finishes, and layout patterns.
• Use finishes and materials as part of the design language (foil, emboss/deboss, soft-touch, textures) with cost tiers in mind.
• Run fast exploration: mood boards, type studies, palette/finish options, quick A/B shelf and thumbnail tests.
• Present crisp rationale tied to consumer, retailer, and price tier; iterate quickly based on feedback without losing craft.
• Conduct competitive scans and trend maps to position collections distinctly.
• Design in-store merchandising displays per retailer and brand requirements.
• Partner with Product Development, Compliance, Packaging Engineering, and Creative to ensure manufacturability; annotate design intent and provide build notes (not primary on mechanicals).
• Prepare clean handoffs: organized files, naming, links, and spec notes so production/prepress can move fast.
• QA your work: hierarchy, legibility, color calls, dieline fit; support key proof reviews for creativeintent.
• Share best practices with peers/juniors; contribute to libraries, templates, and checklists.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s in Graphic Design, Packaging Design, or related; or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years in packaging and brand design (CPG/beauty/fragrance or adjacent), ideally with mass/private label experience.
• Strong visual craft: typography, composition, hierarchy, and color systems; portfolio shows breadth across aesthetics and depth of refinement.
• Proven ability to turn direction into distinctive, scalable on-pack systems. 
• Clear presenter and storyteller; can defend choices with consumer and commercial logic.
• Collaborative, organized, and reliable under deadlines.
• Working knowledge of print/production to design.
• Experience with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign (expert).
• Strong knowledge of Figma or Keynote/PowerPoint for guidelines and sell-in.

It’s a Plus:

• Experience directing or collaborating on photography/CG for product and hero imagery.
