Graphic Designer

Graphic Designer · Permanent · Full-time · Auckland, New Zealand

We build consumer brands from the ground up and get them onto shelves with some of the world's biggest retailers. Beauty tech, personal care, sexual wellness, lifestyle — across every category we work in, the brief is the same: create a brand that wins. Design sits at the centre of everything we do.

The Role – Graphic Designer

We are looking for a talented, detail-driven Graphic Designer to join our Auckland-based creative team on a permanent, full-time basis. This is a hands-on role with real creative ownership — you will be involved in the full lifecycle of new brands, from blank page to shelf, across categories as diverse as matcha tea, pet products, beauty tech, and sexual wellness.

We work at speed. AI tools are part of how we ideate and compress the time between brief and launch. You do not need to be an expert — but you will be working in a team that embraces these tools and is actively learning how to use them to do better creative work, faster.

Responsibilities

Design & Execution

• Contribute to the creation of brand-aligned visuals across packaging, digital content, and product marketing for active brand launches

• Create product mockups, renders, and launch visuals for retail partners and campaigns globally

• Take designs from initial concept through to print-ready files, ensuring all artwork meets the technical and quality requirements for global retail production

• Evolve KENZZI’s visual identity to stay trend-forward, category-relevant, and feminine.

• Maintain brand consistency across packaging, digital, and retail environments for each brand in the portfolio
  

New Brand Development

• Be an important part of a team creating entirely new consumer brands — from early naming and identity concepting through to launch-ready assets

• Contribute to the development of visual identities, packaging systems, and brand architectures across multiple categories simultaneously

• Help translate category insights, consumer trends, and retailer requirements into compelling brand concepts

• Participate in NPD brainstorms and creative reviews, bringing ideas to the table across naming, format, positioning, and visual direction

• Use AI-assisted tools to help accelerate ideation, explore concept directions, and open up creative territories quickly during early-stage development

Brand Standards & Quality

• Ensure all creative output meets brand, quality, and colour standards across formats

• Prepare and manage print-ready files, working closely with suppliers and print partners to ensure accurate, production-ready delivery

• Support the delivery of packaging, retail displays, and promotional materials through the full production workflow

• Contribute to upholding visual standards, aesthetic direction, and brand integrity across all touchpoints

What You Bring

• 2+ years of experience in a graphic design role, with packaging experience essential

• Solid pre-press skills and confidence preparing print-ready artwork — understanding of colour profiles, bleed, dielines, and print production is a must

• A strong portfolio showcasing packaging, branding, and digital content — motion work is a plus

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite

• Strong visual instincts across layout, typography, colour, motion, and composition

• Versatility — you can shift from a feminine beauty aesthetic to a bold wellness brand to a playful pet label without losing your eye

• An openness to AI tools in the creative process — experience is a bonus, but curiosity and a willingness to learn is what matters

• Excellent attention to detail and confidence managing multiple projects across tight timelines

• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team-first approach to cross-functional work

Why KENZZI

• Be part of a team building brands from scratch — not just executing assets. Every new project comes with real creative involvement from day one

• Work across an unusually diverse range of categories; no two brands look the same

• See your work on shelf with some of the world's biggest retailers across multiple global markets

• Join a growing, design-led team where great work genuinely shapes what gets built

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience

• Permanent, full-time role based in our Auckland office
