About The Role:

Design and develop non-product accessories pouches, GWPs, kits, secondary packaging, PR mailers, influencer kits, and retail/counter accessories. Own the brief-to-bulk journey: concept tech pack vendor sampling costing final production handover.

What you'll actually do:

1. Translate marketing/brand briefs into manufacturable designs (sketches, CADs, tech packs with material, dimensions, BOM, finishes).
2. Source materials and finishes PU/PVC/canvas/nylon/non-woven/RPET for pouches; paperboard, rigid box, EVA, flocking, magnets for kits.
3. Work directly with India and China vendors: sampling, fit checks, lab dips, print proofs, FPP approvals.
4. Cost-engineer designs hit per-unit landed cost targets without killing the aesthetic.
5. Coordinate with marketing, packaging, procurement, and QC. Build timelines backward from launch dates.
6. Track trends in beauty accessories, GWP formats, and unboxing translate, don't copy.

Must-have:

1. 36 years designing soft goods, packaging, or accessories beauty, fashion, or lifestyle background works.
2. Fluent in Illustrator, Photoshop; CAD/3D (Rhino, Clo3D, or KeyShot) is a plus.
3. Hands-on with vendors. Has read a tech pack, argued over a stitch density, rejected a sample.
4. Understands materials and processes: screen/digital/sublimation print, embossing, foiling, debossing, RF welding, injection moulding basics.
5. Cost-aware. Can tell you why a zip pouch lands at 45 vs 95.

Nice-to-have:

1. China vendor exposure (Yiwu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen).
2. Sustainability literacy recycled materials, mono-material design, end-of-life thinking.
