Grillo Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

Bakery is looking for a Senior Designer to Make Things people Want. We've worked with ambitious brands like Nike, Diageo, Shiner Beer, and Grillo's Pickles - building brand identities, campaigns, and packaging that make people pay attention.

We're seeking a Senior Packaging Designer who shares a passion for FMCG, CPG, and brand design at its best - someone equally fluent in the creative and the technical sides of the craft. You'll need a sharp eye for brand storytelling and structural design in equal measure: comfortable moving between flat layout work in Illustrator and Photoshop and thinking in three dimensions about how a shape, fold, or container actually performs on shelf. You should know your way around print production - CMYK, Pantone, foil, finishes - well enough to design with the realities of manufacturing in mind, not just the polish of a comp.

At Bakery, our Senior Designers work closely with Strategists and the Client Services team while supporting our Creative and Design Directors. You'll have the chance to inspire our design team, mentoring junior designers and helping them sharpen their craft.

Your creative instinct will show up in how you turn strategy into ideas that stand out on shelf and hold up across every touchpoint a brand lives in.

*This role is on-site 3-4 days a week.Must be employable in the USA and work on-site in Austin, TX *

About Us:

From our headquarters in Austin, TX, we work with Nike, Grillo's Pickles and Cheetos to build brand worlds, campaigns, packaging, and the kind of craft that makes people stop. Bakery is a 4x AdAge Small Agency of the Year.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Work on iconic consumer brands, shaping packaging that carries real shelf presence and cultural relevance
• Create holistic concepts and design solutions that build on a brand's identity and give it a genuine point of difference across every touchpoint
• Demonstrate a clear understanding of how to connect strategy to craft
• Quickly edit and refine concepts to land on the strongest idea, not just the safest one
• Manage relationships with vendors and production partners - printers, structural engineers, prototypers - to make sure the work holds up from final file to finished package
• Collaborate with internal teams and client expertise to arrive at better creative solutions than either side would reach alone
• Operate with the integrity, reliability, and openness that earns trust from clients and colleagues alike
• Act as a creative partner to clients, building long-term trust rather than one-off approval
• Push back on and interpret feedback where needed to protect the integrity of the brand
• Bring design expertise and point of view to client conversations, including productive provocation when the work calls for it
• Look for opportunities to deepen and extend client relationships over time
• Deliver strong pitches and client presentations that move the work forward
• Communicate clearly and confidently across all levels, adapting style to audience while staying consistent in message
• Encourage collaborative, cross-functional ways of working across the studio
