Senior Multidisciplinary Designer - Packaging & E-Commerce

About the Role

We are hiring a senior multidisciplinary designer to support a global beauty brand with work spanning packaging, brand graphics, and e-commerce creative. This position is well-suited to someone with deep experience in beauty, cosmetics, skincare, haircare, fragrance, personal care, or related consumer products, and who can help shape both the physical product experience and the digital shopping journey.

The role blends structural packaging design with packaging visuals and digital content development. You will create primary packaging concepts, refine packaging components, and also build online assets that support product launches, merchandising, retail, social, and campaign needs.

This opportunity calls for a designer with a polished portfolio showing both tangible product design and digital brand execution in the beauty space. A strong understanding of how beauty consumers discover, compare, and buy products on shelf and online is important, along with the ability to create work that feels desirable, premium, and commercially effective.

You should be comfortable designing bottles, caps, closures, compacts, brushes, applicators, and similar components from the ground up, while also producing product detail pages, ecommerce visuals, banners, promotional graphics, email assets, landing pages, and social content.
