work ? but brings ideas to life from concept to shelf.

At Grit & Pearl, we "roll up our sleeves." We are a new breed of design partner built

on deep production expertise, strategic thinking, and a commitment to making

brands work in the real world ? not just in presentations. This role is for a designer

who thrives in that space: where creativity meets execution, and ideas translate into

impact at scale.

You'll play a key role in shaping distinctive, ownable packaging systems for global

FMCG brands ? while navigating the realities of adaptation, portfolio rollout, and

production with confidence.

What You'll Do

? Create strategically grounded, commercially effective packaging

design across multiple brands and markets

? Translate creative briefs into ownable, scalable design systems that work

from concept through to shelf

? Partner closely with Account and Strategy teams to ensure creative aligns

with business and brand objectives

? Collaborate across Trident functions to bridge design, adaptation, and

production seamlessly

? Contribute to brand audits, renovation projects, and innovation pipelines

? Develop and refine design solutions through iterative thinking and feedback

loops

? Take ownership of projects from concept through artwork and production

readiness

? Play an active role in quality control, ensuring design integrity is maintained

through execution

? Present work with clarity and conviction ? articulating both creative and

strategic rationale

? Support and mentor junior designers, contributing to a culture of making,

learning, and craft excellence

What You Bring

? Strong grounding in branding and packaging design within FMCG/CPG

environments

? A portfolio that demonstrates both creative excellence and real-world

application (design-to-shelf thinking)

? Ability to balance creativity with practicality ? understanding constraints

without compromising ideas

? Confidence in storytelling and design rationale, both visually and verbally

? A hands-on, proactive mindset ? comfortable getting into the detail, not

just the concept

? Collaborative spirit, with the ability to work across cross-functional and

global teams

? Solid understanding of production processes, artwork, and packaging

realities

Tools & Approach

? Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite

? Strong attention to detail and craft in execution

? Ability to manage multiple projects while maintaining consistency and

quality

How You'll Work

You'll be part of a connected global team, working alongside:

? Design leadership and regional teams

? Cross-functional Trident specialists (from adaptation, production, CGI, rollout)

? Global FMCG clients and stakeholders

Who You Are

You believe great design doesn't stop at the idea.

You care about how it's made, how it scales, and how it performs on shelf.

You're as comfortable crafting concepts as you are making them real.
