Job Description:

You are equal parts designer and leader - a tastemaker with sharp creative judgment, a clear point of view, and the systems thinking to make great work scale. This is a deeply embedded role spanning packaging, in-store marketing, digital, and social, where creativity and operational rigor intersect daily. You understand both the craft and the commercial reality, and you navigate that duality with confidence. You inspire and do. You manage up and down. You bring clarity to complexity and momentum to ideas - delivering exceptional brand work with taste, intention, and discipline.

Job Responsibility:

  • Build and maintain scalable design systems across packaging, retail, digital, and social

  • Set and uphold the creative standard across the team
  • Contribute directly to packaging, campaigns, digital launches, and brand work
  • Work closely with Brand, Product, Retail, Marketing, and Operations
  • Mentor and develop designers through clear feedback and meaningful growth opportunities
  • Manage time and resources well
  • Improve workflows
  • Make sure projects land on time and on scope

Requirements:

  • 8+ years of experience in brand design, with demonstrated creative leadership
  • Deep expertise in packaging design and production processes
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating work across physical and digital environments
  • Proven ability to build, document, and scale design systems
  • Hands-on proficiency in Figma, InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop, with curiosity about emerging tools and workflows
  • Experience managing and developing design talent
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and storytelling skills
What we offer:
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401k match
  • Equity in Mammoth Brands
  • Flexible time off and working hours
  • L&D stipend
  • 4 weeks sabbatical after 5 years, 6 weeks after 10 years, and 8 weeks after 15 years
  • 20 fully paid weeks off for parents who give birth, or 16 fully paid weeks off for all other paths to parenthood
  • Fun IRL and virtual events including happy hours, team building events, and parties on our rooftop
  • Free products from all of our brands
  • Bagels on Wednesdays and lunch on Thursdays
  • Fully stocked kitchens with snacks, coffee, and drinks everyday
  • Free products
