Job description

Hunter Amenities is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of Personal Care Amenities with over 40 years of experience in the global market. We are a highly entrepreneurial, professional, and driven organization that believes in teamwork, professional ethics, and outstanding service. Hunter is proud to be a Platinum level member of the “Best Managed Companies” program in Canada.

The Opportunity :

The Senior Graphic Designer – Retail is a senior, hands-on creative role focused on mass-market beauty and personal care packaging. This role is responsible for the design development and execution of primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging for big-box, drug, grocery, and club retailers, ensuring work is brand-aligned and commercially effective on shelf, online, and at pallet scale. Working in close partnership with Product Development, Brand, Sales, and Operations, the Senior Graphic Designer translates approved briefs and established creative direction into packaging solutions that are visually compelling, technically accurate, and ready for high-volume retail production. The role emphasizes strong execution, production readiness, and attention to detail across complex SKU systems and retail programs.

This vacancy reflects a newly established role within the team, and the salary range is $70,000 to $95,000. Final placement within the range depends on market conditions, internal equity, and the candidate's experience, skills, and qualifications.

Key Duties & Responsibilities :

Retail & Consumer Packaging Design

  • Develop and execute packaging design for beauty and personal care across bottles, tubes, jars, cartons, gift sets, seasonal programs, shippers, PDQs, and pallet displays for mass retailers and club stores.
  • Design packaging that balances brand storytelling, clear communication of claims and benefits, and strong visual impact across planograms, end caps, and e-commerce environments.
  • Translate approved briefs and creative direction into well-considered design iterations, refining execution based on stakeholder feedback while maintaining visual integrity, accuracy, and project timelines.
  • Ensure all packaging artwork adheres to brand standards, retailer guidelines, regulatory and multilingual labelling requirements, and technical specifications for print and production.
  • Prepare accurate, production-ready mechanicals, dielines, and press-ready files using Adobe Creative Cloud (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign).

3D Visualization & Structural Collaboration

  • Produce high-quality 3D renders and visualizations of packaging concepts using industry-standard tools such as KeyShot (preferred), Rhino 3D, SolidWorks, or similar platforms for use in line reviews, retailer sell-in decks, and internal presentations.
  • Collaborate closely with packaging engineers to ensure artwork fits dielines accurately and effectively communicates on pack from handheld unit to pallet configuration.
  • Visualize and optimize display-ready shippers, pallet skirts, trays, and club-store configurations to support cohesive, shelf- and warehouse-scale storytelling.
  • Support the creation of mock-ups and physical / 3D prototypes for key customer presentations, trade shows, and internal reviews.
  • Project Execution & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Own the execution of assigned retail packaging projects from initial brief through final artwork release and production hand-off, ensuring accuracy, readiness, and on-time delivery.
  • Partner with Product Development, Brand / Marketing, Sales, and Operations to understand customer requirements, retailer expectations, cost targets, and timelines, translating them into executable design solutions.
  • Participate in client and retailer calls or meetings as a packaging design contributor, clearly presenting work, incorporating feedback, and resolving design considerations in a practical, solution-oriented manner.
  • Resolve complex design challenges related to print processes, materials, sustainability considerations, and cost efficiency, flagging risks early and proposing viable execution options.
  • Stay current on packaging, beauty, and retail trends, competitor activity, sustainability initiatives, and printing technologies to inform execution quality and continuous improvement.
  • Qualifications & Experience :

  • Post-secondary education in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Packaging Design, or a related field.
  • 7–10+ years of professional graphic design experience, with a strong focus on retail consumer packaged goods (CPG) and mass-market beauty or personal care brands. Agency level experience preferred.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign with a proven track record of building complex packaging files, mechanicals, and line extensions for high-volume retail.
  • Hands-on experience designing packaging for big-box and club retailers (e.g., national grocery, drug, warehouse and discount chains), including display-ready shippers, pallet configurations, and multi-SKU programs.
  • Advanced 3D visualization skills with industry-standard tools such as KeyShot, Rhino 3D, SolidWorks, Blender, or similar platforms, with the ability to generate photo-realistic renders and support packaging evaluation and sell-in.
  • Solid understanding of packaging materials (cartonboard, labels, flexible packaging, plastics, glass), printing methods (litho, flexo, digital), and colour management (Pantone, CMYK, spot colours, proofs).
  • Comfortable working with dielines, CAD files, and structural drawings and collaborating closely with structural and production partners to ensure accurate execution.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment while maintaining high execution and quality standards.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to present work clearly, receive and incorporate feedback, and build effective working relationships across departments and with external partners.
  • Detail-oriented, technically strong designer with a passion for retail packaging, beauty, and personal care, and an interest in production innovation.
  • A portfolio that highlights end-to-end packaging execution (from approved concept through to on-shelf delivery), including examples of big-box and / or club-store work and 3D-rendered packaging. Please include a link with your application.
  • We offer :

  • ​​​​​​​A competitive compensation package.
  • An excellent company-paid benefit package including health, dental, life, a matching group RRSP, skills development, and training reimbursement.
  • The opportunity to be part of a fast-growing, dynamic, and successful global team. We believe in our people and our people believe in Hunter.
