Job Description

Responsibilities

Brand Design System. Own the ColourPop visual language end to end -- packaging, digital, print, retail, and paid. Define how the brand shows up across every surface and develop and maintain design guidelines that ensure consistency across all touchpoints.
Packaging Design Excellence. Lead structural and graphic design for all product packaging -- from concept through production-ready files. This is your home base. You understand materials, finishes, dielines, and vendor relationships, and you bring that mastery to every launch.
Vision Translation. Partner with the Head of Marketing and Creative leadership to turn brand strategy and product positioning into a clear, ownable creative direction. You make the brief visual. You make the visual obsession-worthy.
Cross-Functional Collaboration. Work closely with product development, copywriting, and studio teams to develop and execute creative concepts that are on-brand, on-brief, and built to live across channels.
Omnichannel Execution. Ensure design integrity across every channel -- DTC ecommerce, Ulta, Target, retail fixtures, paid digital, organic social. A launch should feel like one thing, everywhere.
Campaign & Launch Creative. Drive the creative direction for key franchise and innovation launches. Collaborate with marketing on concept-to-shelf execution -- from hero imagery and campaign visual language to in-store displays and digital assets.
Performance Creative. Bring a feel for what works in paid: scroll-stopping static, motion design concepts, creative that converts. You don’t need to be a performance marketer, but you understand that great creative also drives results.
Team Leadership. Lead and manage a team of three graphic designers -- providing direction, guidance, and daily support. Review and approve all design work, maintaining non-negotiable standards of quality and creativity. Build a culture where craft matters and ideas are celebrated.
Creative Operations. Manage multiple projects simultaneously, working closely with the Creative Services team and Project Manager to ensure timely delivery -- including proper review by brand leadership during weekly creative reviews.
Multi-Hat Mentality. You don’t clock out at the edge of your job description. When something needs to get done, you do it -- and you’re energized by the range, not depleted by it. Creative direction, vendor call, asset review, brief rewrite: all in a day.
