Job Description

It's a Perfect Day to change the world! At Perfect Day, we're doing just that.
Perfect Day was founded in 2014 to create delicious, nutritious dairy products that everyone can love. We’re using fermentation (not animals) to make dairy proteins that are the foundation for foods like ice cream, cheese and yogurt – all with the distinctive taste and textures that consumers demand, but without lactose or environmental downsides. Through partnerships with respected brands, we’re working to launch a whole range of dairy products that will help shape a humane, sustainable food system for future generations. 
We are looking for a Jr Mid-Level Designer that can confidently execute and bring to life a range of asks the team. This role will be responsible for doing the tough work in the prepping files, creating mockups or renders, finessing the pixels, crafting and refining the work to precision. Critically, this role would also be responsible for helping elevate existing work as well as bringing to life new concepts for the team.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION

  • You know what a good idea is, when to push one and how to get there. You are brave, you are kind and you are smart. You never let mediocre pass. From the copy on a social post to a retailer promotional campaign to key themes throughout the marketing calendar, you set the bar. Then you set it again, you provoke and get noticed.
  • You have a vision, can connect disparate dots, and express multiple avenues into and out of a design problem with ease. You guide the team through the nebulous, fuzzy front end of brand and production creation by showing, not telling.
  • You’re a storytelling creator at heart, willing to shoot with an iPhone, record your own voice for narration, and convince family and friends to give acting a try.
  • You can, design and present work in a thoughtful and clear manner for non-designers to follow and understand.
  • You’re not going to let things slip and you have the patience and temperament to work at all levels to ensure this happens. You are able to guide all creators (internal and external) towards creating incredible work, the best of their career.
  • You’re a collaborator and you’re comfortable letting a wide range of input come in, but you are also confident enough to raise concerns to team members for clarity.  
  • You’re a swiss army knife — flexible and scrappy enough to lean into all aspects of creative production when needed, often because the resources aren’t there to hire the full bevvy of specialists.
  • You can work well with others on the team to help make the work sing.
  • A passionate, every detail matters champion. You know your way around a Pantone book and for that matter which Pantone Book is the right one to be looking at.

KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS REQUIRED:

  • You feel connected to our mission of enabling food technology for a kinder, gentler, more equitable planet.
  • 2-5+ years’ experience in design.
  • A track record of bringing quality work to life.
  • A killer portfolio with the range you’re proud of.
  • Experience in packaging/print production.
  • Experience managing multiple projects at one time, maintaining sound file structures, and a readiness to be nimble.
  • You are a self-starter who doesn’t need direct supervision to motivate you for success – we believe strongly in building a culture of individual accountability and ownership and need colleagues that can embrace that mentality.
  • You are ready to make your mark in a smaller, growing brand, leveraging your experience to deliver amazing results and build an outstanding company.
  • You have the hunger and interest to help push the work.
  • Some comfort in implementing digital assets via various CMS applications.
  • Expertise in Adobe Creative Suite with familiarity with emerging collaboration tools like Canva and Figma.
  • 10% -15% Travel Required.

It's a Perfect Day to change the world. The day when delicious dairy goodness is something everyone can love. The day we say goodbye to the downsides of factory farming. The day we throw a big party with luscious, animal-free milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream, all made with Perfect Day! We hope you join us!
