Packaging & Surface Designer

Job Description

The Woobles is a fun, quirky brand with a lean, fast-paced, remote team. We’re looking for a Packaging & Surface Designer with proven experience creating stellar designs for an array of materials and uses in a fast-paced, remote work environment.

Location: Remote (Candidates in CA, CO, FL, MD, NC, NY, UT, or WI are preferred. We cannot consider candidates in the following states: CT, DC, GA, HI, MA, ME, MN, NJ, NM, OR, RI, SC, VT)

=============================
ABOUT YOU
=============================
- You’re an all-around good human being. Life is short, and you want to be around people you like. You’re kind, honest, and trustworthy. You want to work every day with positive, direct people who make you and your day better. No big egos allowed.

- You value autonomy. You do your best when you’re given lots of responsibility and independence. You thrive in ambiguity and enjoy making decisions. Lots of them. When you run into problems, you have the resourcefulness to solve it on your own, and the self-awareness to know when you need help. You’re comfortable working remotely.

- You care deeply about doing great work. You’ll do whatever it takes to get things done. But you don’t just settle at that. You’re always looking for ways to break your own records the next time around. Your teammates know they can always count on you, just like you can count on them.

- You eat feedback for breakfast. You’re always looking for ways to improve (yourself, the process, the product, you name it), so you give and take feedback with equal grace.

- You’ve got a sense of humor. Because have you seen what we make? You’re an emoji connoisseur and appreciate the art of well-timed GIFs. You want to work somewhere where a sentence like this is 100% relevant: “There’s 3 dinos on this one but I think it’s OK because one is riding a turtle.”

- You’re thoughtful and detail-oriented. You gather as much context as possible – from business to manufacturing constraints – so you can propose creative, on-point solutions no matter your role!

- But also fast. We launch anywhere from 3-10 products a month. You understand that one day’s delay can cause much longer than one day’s delay in the overall launch process, given that we’re manufacturing a physical product with teammates all over the world. You turnaround revisions quickly without compromising quality.

=============================
THE ROLE
=============================
1. You’ve got experience designing all types of stuff for fun, witty brands. You know how to apply a cohesive brand vision across mediums – product packaging, print materials, signage, merchandise – we name it, you’ve designed it. Not only that, but your designs delight customers even at first glance. You’re excited to contribute to the product assortment and brand identity of a quickly growing design-centric brand.

2. You’re eager to learn and contribute. You’ll be working with our Art Director of Print & Packaging, and the rest of our wooble-savvy product team. You read that sentence and think - “hot diggity, I can’t wait to learn from them.” You’ll be given a lot of responsibility in a short amount of time, and you’re excited by the opportunity to be a critical part of the product development process.

3. You’ve got illustration chops. Our characters and supporting doodles are the core of our brand and they inevitably find themselves on all of our packaging. You know your way around a tablet and can work in the house style.
