About the role:

We’re looking for a Senior Designer with deep expertise in Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) / FMCG to join our London studio, someone who wants to create the best work of their career and play a meaningful role in shaping iconic, idea-led brands.

This is a hands-on creative role for someone who thrives on packaging innovation, ideation, and high-level craft in equal measure. You’ll work across world-class FMCG accounts, brand identity systems, packaging structures, and extended brand worlds, helping to define clear, single-minded ideas and expressing them with distinctive personality on the shelf and beyond.

You’ll collaborate closely with Creative Directors, strategists, print consultants, and structural designers to translate consumer insights into compelling packaging concepts and beautifully crafted outcomes. You’ll help set the standard for creative excellence within the studio, presenting work internally and to clients with clarity and confidence. Alongside delivering your own projects, you’ll mentor midweight and junior designers, navigate complex technical/production constraints without sacrificing creative intent, and contribute to a culture that values candour, curiosity, and collaboration.

Above all, you’ll help create work that moves people on a global scale, culturally, emotionally, and commercially.

About you:

You are a senior-level designer with proven experience in the CPG / FMCG sector, possessing strong conceptual thinking and exceptional craft. Your portfolio demonstrates your ability to find a relevant consumer insight and translate it into a clear, single-minded packaging and brand identity concept that stands out on shelf and in e-commerce environments.

You understand the nuances of packaging design, brand architecture, typography, structural form, and production processes. You know how to take complex, multi-touchpoint brand projects from initial sketch through to final Artwork and production without losing the story.

You’re comfortable presenting and discussing your work with senior clients, asking smart questions, and constructively challenging briefs to push the creative thinking further. You respond well to feedback and know how to lead creatively without casting a shadow. You care deeply about the quality of what you put into the world, and you elevate the people around you in the process.

Deep experience working with international consumer brands, challenger FMCG products, or luxury packaging is essential, alongside a passion for how physical and digital products show up in contemporary culture.
