About Us:

Hi there 👋 we’re Wild. We’re on a mission to remove single-use plastic from the bathroom, armed with our refillable, natural and scent-sational deodorants, body wash, haircare and lip balm – and we’re only just getting started. We launched in 2020 and as a high-growth company we’re already one of Europe’s fastest growing start-ups 🚀 So, fancy coming along for the ride?😃

We’re now looking for a Senior Designer to join our in-house creative team. You’ll have reams of experience in designing for packaging, POS and offline media. You’ll have a thorough understanding of outputting for print, the various print processes from Pantone to CMYK, along with the nuances and limitations each different process has. You’ll use your deep understanding of hierarchy & design to problem solve along with an acute attention to detail, whilst always keeping our customer at the heart of the solution. You’ll understand how to design with our bold colour palette, keeping things legible, whilst effectively and creatively communicating our message.

It’s super important we receive a relevant portfolio with your application, applications without an attached portfolio may not be considered.

• Experience in retail design; packaging, POS
• Experience in offline media design
• Thorough understanding of outputting for print, considering nuances and limitations across print processes (Pantone, CMYK, paper stock)
• Thorough understanding of the Adobe Creative Suite
• The ability to deliver to often tight, reactive briefs and deadlines
• A brilliant communicator to ensure projects are managed smoothly and efficiently
• An understanding and confidence of a bold colour palette
