Superstar - Senior Art Director & Brand Designer

International Brands is a rapidly growing Swiss company in the Personal Care / FMCG sector. With our brands, we bring products to tens of thousands of points of sale worldwide, from drugstores and leading retail chains to e-commerce.

We build brands that work on the shelf.

Not just on slides. Not just on Instagram.

Fast. Visible. Tangible. Scalable.

We develop and scale brands that uncompromisingly combine design, product, and performance and win precisely where it counts: in the market.

Over 90,000 points of sale worldwide.

And we are far from reaching our limit.

We are looking for an Art Director (100%).

Not a classic designer.

We are looking for the creative mind of our entire Brand Powerhouse.

Someone with a clear, deep understanding of FMCG design. Someone who knows what stops on the shelf, gains attention, and sells products.

Someone who takes responsibility. From packaging to brand worlds to the smallest details that ultimately make the difference.

Someone who questions the existing, wants to do things better, and does not accept "the way it has always been done".

The role is demanding, fast-paced, and very hands-on.

We are not looking for an administrator.

We are looking for a doer.

Someone who takes responsibility, brings pace, and consistently implements things with high quality.

Someone who actively wants to develop brands further. Not just conceptually, but all the way to the finished product on the shelf.

Tasks

You will be responsible for everything that advances our brands visually and creatively – with a clear focus on FMCG performance in the market.

• Development and implementation of creative concepts across all brands with a focus on visibility, recognition, and impact
• Building, sharpening, and further developing strong brand worlds with a consistent signature
• Questioning, challenging, and actively improving existing elements – not managing them
• Designing packaging with clear FMCG logic: attention-grabbing, on-brand, and with a focus on conversion at the shelf
• Developing designs for web, social media, and marketing assets with a focus on performance rather than just aesthetics
• Implementing ideas quickly, pragmatically, and efficiently – without getting lost in endless coordination rounds
• Active use of AI and modern tools to continuously improve workflow, speed, and output
• Independently steering and implementing projects – from idea to finished product in the market
• Managing freelancers and external partners with a high quality standard
• Close collaboration with the Head of Brands and the entire team
• Holistic view: from the product to communication to the physical environment

You turn design into products that sell. And creativity into performance.

Qualification

• 2–5+ years of experience in a creative field (Design, Art Direction, etc.)
• Strong portfolio with real FMCG or retail projects and visible results
• Very good skills in Figma as well as experience in UI and web
• Experience in packaging, social media, web, and print
• Deep understanding of FMCG design, retail, consumer behavior, and purchasing decisions
• You question things and develop them further
• You think not only in terms of aesthetics, but in impact, performance, and results
• You work independently, quickly, hands-on, and solution-oriented
• You show initiative and actively drive projects forward
• You take responsibility instead of waiting for briefings
• You use AI as a useful tool in your creative daily work
• German & English

What does not fit the role

• Purely aesthetic thinking without understanding the market, consumers, and impact
• Creatives without real interest in FMCG, retail, and market-oriented design
• Very rigid or overly process-driven working methods
• People who primarily wait for instructions instead of taking responsibility themselves
• People who love concepts but have difficulty with implementation and speed

Benefits

• Direct work with the Head of Brands
• Real influence on brands, products, and their success in the market
• Quick decisions instead of endless coordination rounds
• High personal responsibility and ample room to truly make things happen

If you want to make a difference, this is the right place for you.

You won't just be designing here.

You will be building brands.

Developing products that become visible.

Products that stop on the shelf.

Products that win.

And products that people buy.

If you are someone who wants to make things successful, not just beautiful, then we should talk.
