• 📍Amsterdam

Our private label assortment is constantly growing and evolving, from improving existing products to launching entirely new ones. Behind every product on the shelf is a packaging design that needs to feel unmistakably Picnic and make it to print perfectly. That’s where you come in. You’ll work at the heart of our Private Label team, bringing together designers, category managers, copywriters, and external creatives to keep our packaging moving from idea to final artwork. You’ll take ownership of artwork updates, range extensions, and packaging deliverables, while bringing your own creative eye to the table. From reviewing colour proofs to ensuring every detail is print-ready, you’ll help us scale our private label identity without compromising on quality.

Note: this is not a UX/UI design job.
