Production Designer, Retail & Packaging

About the Role

Grüns is scaling across retail fast, and every new retailer brings its own specs, formats, and quirks. We need a production expert who protects our brand on every shelf and every printer. You'll take our approved designs and turn them into clean, print-ready files, catching problems before they ever hit a press. This is a technical, detail-obsessed role for someone who loves living between design and execution. This role is part of our remote HQ with a fully remote, high-trust work environment. We come together biannually for off-sites to connect in person.

Responsibilities

• Own technical production for retail and packaging: dielines, print-ready files, and vendor specs
• Adapt approved retail concepts across formats, retailers, and sizes, and catch layout issues before they go to print
• Build and maintain a production system (templates, specs, file organization) that keeps retail assets moving fast and accurate as we add new retailers
• Become our go-to person with print vendors about materials, tolerances, and print methods, and become their go-to person
• Be the go-to resource for cross-functional partners on print production, resolving technical questions and driving projects forward
• Provide backup production support for retail and DTC packaging
• Build quality checks that catch problems before they reach shelves

Requirements

• 3+ years as a production artist in packaging, print, retail, visual merchandising, or a similar field
• Strong expertise in Adobe Creative Suite, especially Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop
• Figma and 3D rendering tools (like SketchUp) are a plus
• Experience managing high-volume production across multiple SKUs, formats, retailers, and versions without missing a detail
• Clear communication with designers, vendors, printers, and internal teams
• A good eye for spacing, typography, and hierarchy, with room to grow
• Bonus points if you've worked with print vendors or know flexo, digital, offset, or litho printing
• Exceptional proofreading skills and an eagle-eye focus on picking up minor alignment, copy, or structural discrepancies
• Understanding of color management techniques to maintain color consistency during print production

Approach to the Role

• You ask good questions instead of guessing. "I don't know, let me find out" is part of your process
• When a vendor says no or a spec doesn't work, you find a workaround instead of escalating
• You move fast without losing precision, even on tight timelines
• You own your systems: naming, file structure, tracking, whatever keeps you sharp under pressure
• You treat production like a craft, not a checklist

Pay

For this role, the base salary range is $100,000–$115,000 plus bonus depending on experience.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package designed to support well-being and growth
• Generous PTO
• Free Grüns subscriptions
• Additional perks centered around health and well-being
