Your Role in a Growing Artisan Brand
Edinburgh Honey Co is expanding — with new products, new experiences, and a bold visual identity to match. We're looking for a
Brand & Packaging Designer
who can bring that vision to life across packaging, in-store visuals, and physical brand touchpoints.
You'll work from our shop-based studio in Morningside (and occasionally Leith), where your designs will go from screen to shelf — often within the same week. You'll collaborate closely with our
content creator, PR lead, and social media coordinator
to make sure every customer experience, online or in-store, feels beautifully connected.
This is a great opportunity for a creative thinker who's ready to grow into a broader brand role — not just designing, but helping shape how the brand is seen, held, and experienced.
What You'll Be Working On
* Packaging & Label Design
for new and seasonal products (e.g., honey, artisan sweets, tin mead, nuts in chocolate)
* Retail Display & Visual Merchandising
: bring creative direction to how products are presented in-store
* Brand Development
: help shape the look and feel of new product lines, including natural hamper boxes and high tea experiences
* Collaborative Brand Cohesion
: work with our digital and PR team to maintain a consistent visual identity across all channels
* Shop-Based Creative Studio
: work on-site from our boutique shop where you can test ideas, get real-time feedback, and interact with customers occasionally to stay grounded in their experience
You Might Be a Good Fit If You...
* Have a strong eye for layout, materials, colour, and packaging trends
* Understand how physical design shapes customer experience
* Are comfortable working independently in a shop-based workspace
* Are excited by artisan food, sustainability, and sensory product branding
* Want to grow beyond just "graphic design" into brand direction, styling, and product presentation
* Enjoy collaboratin,g but don't need hand-holding
* Bonus: experience with retail, visual merchandising, or physical product design
Your Setup
* Full-time, 37.5 hours/week
* £14/hour + quarterly bonus (£500) + £500 probation bonus
* Monthly payroll
* Work on-site in our Morningside shop (some days at Leith location)
* 28 days holiday per year (includes bank holidays)
* Flexible, friendly team with strong creative vision
Why This Role Matters
We're building more than a brand — we're building a full sensory experience. With natural hamper boxes, seasonal gifting, and future high tea kits on the horizon, we need a designer who sees packaging not just as a wrapper, but as a
storytelling tool
. This role gives you room to shape a fast-growing brand from the inside out — physically, visually, and emotionally.
