Description

The Category Pod Graphic Designer – Contractor position is a hybrid creative and business partner role responsible for delivering packaging and marketing design for a specific product category while serving as an embedded creative expert within that business.

Partner with the Enablement Manager when additional resources or support are needed during periods of high demand.

Client & Account Management

Serve as the day-to-day creative partner to internal clients, including Sales and Brand teams.
Proactively manage creative requests, timelines, and expectations.
Ask the right questions to clarify objectives and recommend solutions—not just execute requests.
Build trust through reliability, business understanding, and effective communication.
