- Ability to manage multiple design assets or sub-projects in parallel
- Attention to detail and commitment to quality
- Ability to work independently and take initiative when needed
- 3–7+ years of professional design experience (or strong equivalent portfolio)

- Proven portfolio of packaging, label, or product design projects
- A strong candidate's portfolio should demonstrate clean, professional execution of packaging or product labels
