The Role: An emerging creative leader who moves easily between worlds—digital, physical, and everything in between. As Design Director, you’ll shape how our brand comes to life wherever it lives: in-store, online, in-hand, and on-screen. Whether it’s an eye-catching retail display, a scroll-stopping ad, or a landing page that just flows, you’re there to bring smart design thinking and serious visual magic. If you geek out over brand systems, love working across mediums, and want to build a bold, design-forward brand, this might be your spot. This is an ideal role for a Senior Designer ready to take the next step in their career journey who is comfortable moving between direction and “hands on keyboard” design. 

Note: All candidates must submit a portfolio as part of their application

What You’ll Do:

  • Create and lead design systems that span digital, retail, and print, ensuring every touchpoint feels cohesive, elevated, and on-brand.
  • Concept and execute marketing materials across multiple channels—think paid ads, social, email, landing pages, in-store displays, and trade kits.
  • Collaborate closely with product and brand teams to ensure the visual story carries through across packaging, campaigns, and creative content.
  • Keep your finger on the pulse of trends across design, digital, and physical brand experiences—and use them to fuel innovative ideas.
  • Own the creative direction from concept to execution—guiding photo/video shoots, refining assets, and making sure every detail hits.
  • Continuously improve design processes to keep projects flowing smoothly and the work looking sharp
  • Bring a clear creative POV and leadership energy that inspires the team and elevates the work.

What You’ll Bring:

  • A strong portfolio showing range across IRL experiences (retail, print, packaging) and digital design (web, email, social, ads); knowledge of packaging is plus! 
  • A background in CPG, D2C, or lifestyle brands—you're comfortable designing in fast-moving, consumer-focused environments.
  • Deep knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud and Figma—you know your way around both with ease. Knowledge of Monday is helpful but not essential
  • A mix of strategic thinking and hands-on design skill—you can build a vision and roll up your sleeves to make it real.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration chops—you work well across teams and know how to present creative ideas clearly.
  • A love for brands that show up beautifully everywhere—from Instagram grids to retail shelves—and the desire to keep pushing what’s possible.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive Salary: A salary range between $120,000 - $130,00, based on experience and qualifications.
  • Remote-First: We take pride in staying connected, no matter the distance, while delivering high performance and getting results.
  • Health, Dental, & Vision Insurance: PPO Plans that give you in and out of network coverage to meet you where you are seeking care
  • FSA: Eligible Health Expense & Dependent Care
  • Unlimited PTO & Sick Time: No waiting period and we actually want you to use it! The average Cocolab team member took between 15 - 20 days off last year 
  • 12 Paid Company Holidays + Winter Office Closure: We close up shop for Federal Holidays each year + time at the end of the year
  • Fully Paid Parental Leave: Up to 12 Weeks paid at 100% after 1 year of employment
  • Guideline 401k: Save for your future with no waiting period 
  • New Hire Tech Budget: Choose the best work device for you and we’ll cover the cost
  • Wellness Reimbursement: $50 a month for you to take care of you
  • Product Discounts: Keep yourself stocked with our award winning products

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
