About The Role
We are now looking for a Packaging Designer to join us in London and help shape the future look and feel of Vilgain products across international markets. This role is ideal for someone who has a sharp visual eye, strong packaging craft, and the ambition to create designs that feel clean, modern, premium, and commercially strong. Currently, our packaging team is based only in CZ, and the UK packaging setup is still being built. We need someone hands‑on, independent, and confident enough to bring ideas, challenge standards, and turn concepts into production‑ready packaging.
What You Will Do
* Design packaging for food, supplements, and lifestyle products from early concept to final production‑ready artwork.
* Develop strong visual concepts that are aligned with Vilgain’s brand, product positioning, and international growth.
* Work across different packaging formats, SKUs, categories, and markets while keeping the brand consistent and scalable.
* Collaborate closely with packaging technologists, product developers, quality, regulatory, and suppliers to make sure ideas are not only beautiful, but also technically feasible and compliant.
* Think in design systems, not just individual labels — helping us build packaging that can scale across a growing portfolio.
* Bring strong typography, layout, hierarchy, colour, and detail into every project.
* Prepare clean, accurate files and support the process through to final artwork and production.
* Challenge the status quo and help us push Vilgain packaging beyond standard FMCG design.
What We Are Looking For
* Experience in packaging design, ideally within food, FMCG, supplements, wellness, beauty, or other product‑led consumer brands.
* A strong portfolio showing real packaging work, clear design thinking, and the ability to build a visual direction from scratch.
* Excellent taste, strong typography skills, and high attention to detail.
* Advanced Adobe Creative Suite skills, especially Illustrator.
* Ability to explain your design decisions clearly — not just what you designed, but why it works.
* A practical mindset: you understand that packaging needs to look great, sell the product, respect technical limitations, and work across markets.
* Ownership, speed, and independence. We are growing fast, so we need someone who can move without waiting for perfect instructions.
What’s In It For You
* Product: Europe’s fastest‑growing food brands that change how people think about food.
* Growth: We work in a fast‑paced, transparent, and no‑nonsense environment that supports professional growth and focuses on outcomes.
* Flexibility: Flexible working hours and a hybrid setup that supports autonomy and work‑life balance.
* Team: Close collaboration with a tight, global team that’s hands‑on and gets things done.
* Benefits: Competitive compensation, plus monthly credits and employee discounts on Vilgain products.
