Graphic Designer

We're looking for a Graphic Designer who specialises in packaging to take our products from concept sketch to shelf\-ready artwork. You'll design primary and secondary packaging, retail displays, and gift sets — owning the visual detail that makes a customer pick our product up instead of the one next to it. This is a hands\-on role for someone who loves both the creative side (colour, typography, illustration, seasonal storytelling) and the technical side (dielines, print specs, colour separations, press checks). **What you'll do** * Design packaging artwork across the full range: boxes, sleeves, labels, hang tags, inserts, gift sets, and shipper cartons. * Build accurate dielines and production\-ready files, and adapt artwork across multiple SKUs, sizes, and product variants. * Develop seasonal and limited\-edition collections, translating a creative direction into a coherent family of designs. * Work with printers and suppliers on materials and finishes (foil, emboss, spot UV, soft\-touch, holographic, metallic inks), and review dummies, proofs, and press samples. * Manage colour accuracy across substrates, including Pantone specification and CMYK conversion. * Ensure every file meets legal, regulatory, and retailer requirements: barcodes, material declarations, country\-of\-origin, care symbols, recycling marks, and multilingual copy (English/Arabic). * Maintain and extend brand guidelines so packaging stays consistent across categories. * Create supporting assets: mockups, 3D renders, product photography direction, e\-commerce imagery, and in\-store display graphics. * Partner with product development, marketing, and merchandising from brief through to launch, keeping projects on schedule. * Track packaging trends, competitor launches, and sustainable materials innovation. **What we're looking for** Required: * 3\+ years of graphic design experience with a strong focus on packaging. * A portfolio showing produced packaging work — products that shipped, not just concepts. * Expert command of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. * Solid pre\-press knowledge: bleed, trapping, overprint, colour profiles, resolution, and file preparation for offset, digital, and flexo printing. * Confidence working with dielines and understanding how a flat file becomes a 3D structure. * Strong typography and layout skills, and an eye for detail that catches the 0\.5mm misalignment nobody else sees. * Ability to manage several projects at once and hit tight production deadlines. Nice to have: * 3D packaging visualisation (Dimension, Blender, KeyShot, or similar). * Illustration or hand\-lettering skills. * Familiarity with sustainable packaging materials and certifications. * Bilingual layout experience, especially Arabic/English lockups. * Retail or FMCG background, and experience with licensed or collaboration collections. **What we offer** * A visible role where your work sits on shelves and in customers' hands. * Ownership of full collections rather than isolated assets. * Budget for materials, finishes, and experimentation on flagship launches.
