- The role requires someone who can confidently take ownership of a busy creative floor while balancing creative quality, deadlines and production realities.
- You are the kind of person who knows CPA for RSA, EU and USA regulation backwards. You have built packaging systems (not style guides). You’ve mentored, built and KPIed teams.

- Mentor and develop designers and help raise the overall creative standard of the department.
- Remain hands-on when required and be capable of taking work from concept through to finished design.
- Proven understanding of CPA and international regulatory requirements.
Essential Requirements
- Proven team leadership and management. KPIs, Leave management, Task Scheduling and more.
- Proven professional experience as an Art Director, Senior Designer or Design Lead within packaging, FMCG, consumer products or a closely related environment.
- Strong packaging portfolio across established commercial brands is essential.
- Demonstrable experience developing and managing packaging systems, rather than only individual pack designs.
- Excellent understanding of brand architecture, visual hierarchy, typography, layout and range consistency.
- Strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.
- Good understanding of print production, dielines and packaging artwork requirements.
- Experience mentoring or art directing other designers.
