  • Oversee the creation and refinement of style guides, brand standards, packaging systems, point of purchase displays, and sales collateral for new and existing product lines.
  • Partner closely with internal marketing, operations, and leadership teams-and collaborate with external creative partners or agencies-to drive the company's visual and brand direction.
  • Direct creative strategy for consumer packaging, including dielines, copy hierarchy, and print production, ensuring both compliance and exceptional shelf appeal.
  • Translate business goals and consumer insights into strategic creative campaigns that amplify OGeez!'s unique voice and market position.
  • Manage creative partners and vendors, ensuring alignment with brand standards, timelines, and budgets.
  • Evolve and maintain a consistent visual and verbal brand voice across digital, retail, and experiential channels.

Qualifications

  • A portfolio demonstrating world-class brand and packaging work, ideally across multiple product categories or markets.
  • Experience building and maintaining brand systems and visual guidelines that scale.
  • Ability to manage or collaborate with freelancers, small creative teams, or agencies.
  • Strong understanding of consumer psychology, retail marketing, and brand differentiation.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills with the ability to translate creative ideas into business impact.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and familiarity with design-to-production workflows.
  • Experience translating branding into physical packaging, point-of-sale displays and other collateral
  • Experience in cannabis, food & beverage, or other regulated consumer industries preferred but not required.

Engagement Details

  • Time Commitment: Approximately 20-40 hours per week (flexible based on project load).  Temporary-to-permeant role is an option. 
  • Location: Flexible / remote, with preference for candidates or firms near one of our operational markets (AZ, IL, NJ, NY).
