Product Packaging Designer
Solihull, West Midlands, Full-time, £32,000 - £45,000
A leading design and innovation studio that is part of a well-established, entrepreneurial group is looking to bring a talented Product Designer on board to specialise in the retail space. This award-winning team partners with some of the biggest names in FMCG, delivering packaging solutions that are not just visionary but real-world ready. This is a chance to be part of something truly creative and commercially impactful and join a studio where ideas matter, voices are heard, and your designs can be seen by millions nationwide. The role is based in South Birmingham, full-time in the studio, and comes with a salary commensurate with experience.
The Opportunity:
Working within a close-knit and highly creative studio, you’ll take ownership of projects from concept through to delivery. From reinventing packaging for existing product lines to developing entirely new structural solutions, your work will have a real impact, both creatively and commercially.
Whether it’s a small tweak that improves usability or a ground-up redesign that transforms shelf presence, every project is an opportunity to push design thinking and add value. Even the most standard briefs are approached with curiosity and creativity, often delivering solutions the client didn’t even know they needed.
And there's real variety here. While the focus is on retail, your design challenges will span in-store and back-of-store packaging; from consumer-facing formats like bakery and food-to-go, to operational solutions that meet hygiene, health, and efficiency standards. No two projects are ever the same, and the collaborative studio culture means you’ll learn, grow, and see your designs come to life on shelves and in stores nationwide.
About you:
* A strong background in product design. Ideally, within FMCG, but if not, then we do need design for manufacture experience.
* A portfolio that demonstrates innovation, creativity, and problem-solving
* Experience thinking in 3D, to design in 2D and creating renders and mock-ups for presentation purposes
* Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, CAD, and a solid grasp of manufacturing techniques
* Excellent communication and presentation skills
* A degree in Product, Industrial, or Packaging Design or equivalent hands-on experience
* Happy to work in the office full-time
Why Apply?
* Be part of an award-winning design team known for pushing boundaries
* Work in a supportive, people-first environment within a family-run business. There’s no room for egos here, and you’ll enjoy a flat structure and team effort
* Enjoy the satisfaction of seeing your designs come to life in real-world products
* Receive a competitive salary package, tailored to your experience
* Thrive in a studio where creativity is championed, and innovation is the norm
