Senior Graphics & Packaging Designer — Own the Visual Identity of Two Brands

**Company:** Intent Brands (two brands: Aerotrunk + SurviveX)

**Type:** Full-time (40 hrs/week)
**Compensation:** $2,000 USD/month + 13th month pay
**Start:** Immediately

## About Us

Intent Brands runs two consumer product brands sold on Amazon and our own Shopify store:

- **SurviveX** — Premium first aid and emergency preparedness kits. Medical/tactical aesthetic. Clean, confident, authoritative design language. Colors: Red (#E30829), Black (#1A1A1A), Dark Gray (#3D3D3D), White.
- **Aerotrunk** — Premium hardside luggage. Modern, aspirational travel lifestyle aesthetic.

We're a small, fast-moving team. You won't be "the designer who gets handed mockups to resize." You'll own the entire visual output for both brands — from packaging dielines to Amazon A+ content to social media assets. Your work will be on shelves, in search results, and in customers' hands.

## What You'll Actually Do (Weekly)

- **Packaging design** — Retail-ready packaging, inserts, labels, and stickers. You'll work directly with dieline templates from our manufacturers and deliver print-ready files (CMYK, bleeds, crop marks, PDF/X-1a or AI).
- **Amazon listing images** — Main images, infographics, lifestyle composites, comparison charts, and A+ Content modules. You understand Amazon's image requirements and what converts.
- **Brand store pages** — Design and maintain Amazon Brand Store layouts for both brands.
- **Shopify assets** — Homepage banners, collection images, email campaign graphics.
- **Social media** — Instagram, TikTok, Facebook creative. Static and motion graphics.
- **Product photography direction** — You may not shoot photos, but you'll composite, retouch, and art-direct product imagery using renders, stock, and AI-generated elements.
- **Brand consistency** — Maintain and evolve brand guidelines for two very different brands simultaneously.

## What We're Looking For

This is a **senior role**. We're not looking for someone who can use Photoshop — we're looking for someone whose portfolio makes us say "we need to hire this person before someone else does."

### Must-Have Skills
- **Packaging design** — You've designed retail packaging that went to print. You know dielines, bleeds, safe zones, overprint, spot colors, and substrate considerations. You've dealt with manufacturer feedback and revised files for production.
- **Amazon content** — You've created listing images and A+ content that you can show us. You understand what converts on Amazon (not just what looks pretty).
- **Print production** — CMYK, Pantone, PDF/X, press-ready files. You know the difference between RGB mockups and production-ready artwork.
- **Adobe Creative Suite mastery** — Illustrator (packaging, vector), Photoshop (compositing, retouching), InDesign (inserts, guides). These are your daily tools, not occasional ones.
- **Typography & layout** — You have strong opinions about type hierarchy, spacing, and readability at small scales (packaging, labels, inserts).

### Strong Plus
- **Motion graphics** — After Effects or similar for social content, product animations
- **3D mockups** — Blender, Dimension, or similar for product visualization
- **AI image tools** — Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, or similar for concepting and asset generation
- **Figma** — For collaborative design, UI work, or rapid prototyping
- **Medical/health product design** — Experience with FDA-regulated labels (Drug Facts panels, mandatory copy)
- **Bilingual English** — Your English needs to be strong enough to read briefs, present concepts, and explain design decisions in writing

## Screening Questions (Answer All 4)

> **Include the phrase "I design for production" somewhere in your application.** This tells us you read the full listing.

### Q1: Packaging Portfolio Piece
Show us one packaging project you're most proud of — something that went to physical production. Tell us:
- What was the product?
- What were the print specs and constraints?
- What was your process from concept to final production file?
- Show the final printed result (photo of the physical product) alongside your design file if possible.

### Q2: Amazon Listing Challenge
Pick one of these two scenarios and walk us through how you'd approach it:

**Option A:** Our first aid kit's main image has a 3% click-through rate (below category average of 4.5%). The current image is a straight product shot on white. What would you change and why? What would you A/B test first?

**Option B:** We need to create 7 listing images for a new luggage product. Walk us through what each image slot would contain and why, based on what you know converts on Amazon.

### Q3: Two Brands, One Designer
SurviveX is medical/tactical (red, black, authoritative). Aerotrunk is travel/lifestyle (modern, aspirational, premium). How do you switch between two very different brand identities without the work starting to look the same? Give us a specific technique or process you use.

### Q4: Tools & Speed
What's your full design stack? For each major tool, tell us honestly: daily driver, weekly, or occasional? Also: what's your typical turnaround for a set of 7 Amazon listing images from brief to final delivery?

## Paid Test Task

Instead of multiple interview rounds, we'll ask our shortlisted candidates to complete a **paid design test** ($75 USD). This lets us evaluate real work, not interview performance.

The test will involve:
- Redesigning one existing Amazon listing image set (3 images) for SurviveX
- Creating one packaging insert concept (front/back) based on a provided dieline and brief

You'll receive brand guidelines, existing assets, and a clear brief. We're looking for design quality, brand interpretation, production-readiness, and turnaround speed.

## What You Get

- **$2,000 USD/month** — paid biweekly, direct deposit
- **13th month pay** — standard Philippine labor benefit
- **Paid time off** — Philippine holidays + 15 days personal leave
- **Creative ownership** — You're not a pixel-pusher. You'll influence brand direction.
- **Small team** — Direct access to founders. No layers of middle management. Your ideas get heard.
- **Growth** — As the brands grow, you grow. This could become a design lead / creative director path.
