Assistant Manager - Packaging, Art Working & Visual Design

Assistant Manager - Packaging, Art Working & Visual Design

There are some jobs where you move pixels. And then there are some where you shape how something feels in a persons hands. This role belongs to the second kind.

Were looking for someone who understands that packaging is not just a surface. That it is indeed thefirst hello. The pause before the sip. The quiet promise on a shelf full of noise.

You will lead the visual journey across our product portfolios: guiding packaging, digital assets, and creative execution with taste, clarity and care. This is a role that asks for both imagination and precision. Big ideas, but also the patience to check the shade card twice.

1. Packaging Strategy & Print Craft

You will shepherd artwork and packaging by working with top design agencies and executing the final print run. Here, you will:

• Work alongside top design agencies to create breakthrough packaging to elevate brand perception. Own packaging quality checks across formats: pouches, cartons, labels, sleeves and more.
• Ensure meticulous compliance with dielines, materials, regulatory requirements and print constraints.
• Review and approve artworks, cylinder proofs, PDFs, shade cards and final production outputs.
  
• Work closely with print vendors to uphold excellence and resolve artwork challenges with grace and expertise.
• Partner with Marketing, Supply Chain and external collaborators to deliver meaningful packaging and POSM.
• Manage physical proofs and shade references to safeguard colour accuracy and production integrity.

2. Design & Direction for Brand Assets

Beyond the pack, the brand lives everywhere. On a scroll. In a swipe. Between two seconds of attention. Here, you will:

• Develop digital assets: statics, carousels and AI-assisted creatives for Meta and Google campaigns.
• Create social media communication for in-house brands such as Paper Boat Swing, Nata, Zero and Dry Fruits & Nuts.
• Ensure visual consistency across digital campaigns, packaging and offline touchpoints.
• Present concepts with clarity: balancing taste, feasibility and strategic intent.

3. Process & Creative Leadership

Good design thrives in good systems and great leaders. Here, you will:

• Contribute fresh design initiatives and exploratory thinking.
• Mentor and review designers to elevate creative standards.
• Refine workflows, documentation and approval processes.
• Champion modern tools and AI-enabled workflows where they meaningfully enhance craft.

Profile

• 3-5 years of experience in design, packaging and print (FMCG preferred).
• A strong understanding of visual art, packaging production and vendor management.
• The ability to balance creative ambition with operational discipline.
• Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Canva.
• A confident communicator, comfortable presenting and collaborating across teams.

If you enjoy the quiet satisfaction of a perfectly aligned dieline, the thrill of a new visual direction, and the moment when a finished pack feels just right in your hand, this might be the place.
