My client is a well-established food business supplying a broad mix of branded and private-label products across the Irish market. Working across retail, foodservice and related commercial channels, the business has built a strong reputation for practical product development, category understanding and commercially focused food brands.

They are now seeking a Brand Designer to join their in-house marketing team. This is a varied, hands-on design role suited to someone who can bring strong creative ideas to life, while also having the technical discipline to produce accurate, polished, production-ready artwork.

The successful candidate will work across a portfolio of food brands, supporting brand campaigns, packaging, trade materials, sales collateral, presentations, digital assets and internal communications. This role would suit a designer who enjoys the balance between concept development and execution — someone who can think visually, understand the commercial purpose behind a brief, and deliver work that is both creative and carefully finished.

A key part of the role will be helping to develop and maintain a more consistent visual system across the brand portfolio. This includes creating and organising brand assets, templates, layout systems, typographic treatments, colour palettes, image treatments and reusable design elements that can be used by the wider team.

The position is based on a hybrid working pattern, with three days per week in the Dublin office and two days working remotely.

Responsibilities

The Brand Designer will be responsible for:

  • Developing creative design concepts across a multi-brand portfolio, interpreting briefs with originality, commercial awareness and strong visual judgement.
  • Designing a wide range of marketing and brand materials, including packaging, brochures, flyers, sales presentations, pitch decks, trade-show graphics, reports, digital ads and social media content.
  • Translating brand guidelines into fresh, engaging and consistent visual outputs across print and digital channels.
  • Working closely with the Head of Marketing and internal stakeholders to understand campaign objectives, business priorities and project requirements.
  • Presenting design thinking clearly and responding positively to feedback, amendments and evolving priorities.
  • Helping to build and maintain an organised library of brand assets, including templates, master layouts, icons, patterns, imagery treatments, approved typography and reusable design components.
  • Ensuring design assets are easy to find, clearly named, version-controlled and usable by other members of the marketing and artworking team.
  • Supporting the development of practical usage guidance so that brand materials are applied consistently across the business.
  • Identifying gaps in existing brand assets and contributing to ongoing improvements in templates, systems and shared resources.
  • Creating artwork for packaging and wider marketing collateral to a high professional standard.
  • Preparing print-ready files, including correct use of bleeds, colour profiles, production specifications and preflight checks.
  • Adapting and resizing existing creative assets across different channels, formats, markets and campaign needs.
  • Maintaining strong attention to detail across typography, layout, brand compliance, file setup and final delivery.
  • Taking ownership of design projects from initial brief through to final output, with minimal supervision.
  • Using appropriate AI and design-support tools to improve speed, workflow and production efficiency without compromising quality.

Requirements

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Demonstrable experience as a mid-weight designer, either in-house or within an agency environment.
  • Strong brand design ability, with the confidence to move from a brief to an original and well-considered creative solution.
  • Proven experience producing finished artwork across both print and digital formats.
  • Strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, particularly InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.
  • A solid understanding of typography, layout, colour, visual hierarchy and brand consistency.
  • A good eye for food, product and packaging presentation, with an understanding of how to make products look appealing and commercially effective.
  • Experience working across multiple brands, sub-brands or brand families at the same time.
  • The ability to manage a varied workload and deliver across multiple deadlines.
  • Strong organisational skills and a structured approach to files, templates and production workflow.
  • The confidence to work independently while staying aligned with wider team priorities.
  • A practical, resilient attitude to feedback and creative review.
  • A high level of accuracy and attention to detail, particularly when preparing artwork for production.

Desirable Experience

The following would be helpful, but not essential:

  • Experience contributing to brand asset libraries, design systems, template suites or shared creative toolkits.
  • Experience in a B2B, FMCG, food, retail, wholesale or product-led marketing environment.
  • Familiarity with PowerPoint and Word template design.
  • Experience designing for social media, email campaigns, web banners and other digital formats.
  • Basic video editing skills and some understanding of motion graphics.
  • Interest in AI tools for design, artworking, image generation, video or workflow improvement.
  • A willingness to test new tools and share useful creative or production improvements with the wider team.
    Working Pattern

This is a full-time, permanent role with a structured hybrid pattern. The role is office-based three days per week in Dublin, with two days working remotely.

The successful candidate will join a busy in-house marketing function where clear communication, good file management and the ability to move between independent work and team collaboration will be important.

  • A varied design position across multiple food brands.
  • The opportunity to influence the visual direction and consistency of a growing brand portfolio.
  • A strong mix of creative concept work and hands-on production.
  • Exposure to packaging, trade marketing, presentations, digital assets and campaign collateral.
  • A collaborative in-house environment with genuine ownership of projects.
