The Company:

We’re a young and energetic company, we’ve had tremendous success, and we are constantly growing our team. As we garner more industry attention - just check out our accomplishments and awards by CES Innovation, iF Design, IGA, and Red Dot - we also need driven and talented people to join our team.

 

That brings us to you, and what you’ll be joining. Our teams are smart and diligent and take ownership of their work – they’re confident in their work but know how to collaborate with open ears and a spirit of learning.

The Opportunity:

 

The Manager of Creative Design leads VeSync’s Graphic Design and Visual Design teams, delivering the packaging, e-commerce, retail, web, and digital creative that brings new product launches to market across our brands. This role is central to Creative Services’ shift from a task-based service function to an outcome-driven creative partner, measured by launches delivered on time and on brief, creative that performs in market, and a design team that scales output through AI-enabled workflows without compromising brand quality.

What you will do at VeSync:

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead, mentor, and develop the Graphic Design and Visual Design teams, fostering a culture of ownership, accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Shift the team from completing tasks to owning outcomes, empowering designers to make sound creative and executional decisions without waiting for every detail to be specified.
• Translate Creative Services OKRs into team goals, individual KPIs, and professional development plans.
• Conduct performance evaluations, coaching conversations, and career development planning, including defined career paths and stretch assignments beyond current roles.
• Lead hiring, onboarding, and training, and recognize wins to build a business-driven, development-focused team culture.
• Build team fluency in AI-powered design tools through training and upskilling.

Launch Delivery & Creative Quality

• Ensure design deliverables for priority new product launches are delivered on time, on brief, and brand-consistent across DTC, Amazon, retail, packaging, and digital channels.
• Partner with the Creative Director and Art Directors to translate creative direction into production-ready design across every format.
• Run design reviews with specific, actionable feedback that raises quality and reduces revision cycles before final approval.
• Support visual identity and consistency audits across channels, and drive remediation of design gaps.
• Step in with hands-on design support during peak periods and high-priority launches.

Design Operations & Scale

• Manage design capacity, resource allocation, and scheduling across projects in partnership with Project Management, rebalancing quickly when launch timing or scope changes.
• Integrate generative AI image and design tools into team workflows, building templates, guardrails, and best practices that increase speed and volume while protecting brand integrity.
• Build and manage a network of freelancers, agencies, and external design partners to flex capacity for ad-hoc and high-volume requests.
• Maintain an organized, reusable design asset library in Adobe to accelerate production and global asset sharing.

Commercialization & Business Strategy

• Partner with the Creative Director to review in-market creative performance, and lead the design team’s rapid iteration on assets that fall below channel benchmarks.
• Support Retail and Product needs (listing assets, PDPs, trade show and booth design, app and recipe content) with lean resourcing.
• Operate effectively amid shifting priorities and incomplete direction, making sound calls quickly and communicating trade-offs, risks, and capacity so stakeholders can prioritize.
• Track team performance and design metrics, and develop KPIs connecting output to outcomes such as on-time delivery, revision rate, turnaround time, and share of workload supporting new product launches.

What you bring to the role:

• Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Visual Arts, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 8+ years of professional graphic design experience, with at least 4 years managing designers or creative teams.
• Strong portfolio of team-led work across branding, packaging, e-commerce, and digital, with examples of the business results the work supported.
• Proven track record of leading a team to measurable outcomes (on-time delivery, quality, and in-market performance) while managing multiple concurrent launches.
• Hands-on experience with, or strong working knowledge of, generative AI design tools and how to apply them in a production environment.
• Ability to use performance data and KPIs to guide creative decisions and team priorities.
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma, and project management platforms such as Monday.com and Microsoft 365.
• Experience managing freelancers, agencies, and external creative partners.
• Exceptional communication, organizational, and leadership skills, with the ability to give clear, actionable feedback.
• Strong business acumen and comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-changing environments: scrappy, resourceful, and solution-oriented, with fast, reliable follow-through and a highly collaborative style.

Preferred:

• Experience supporting consumer brands, retail, e-commerce, Amazon, or CPG organizations.
• Experience building or running pod-based or business-unit-aligned creative teams.
• Familiarity with DAM platforms such as AEM, and with prepress and print production processes.
• Direct experience with generative AI creative platforms (e.g., Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, Runway) and a track record of scaling AI-powered workflows with measurable impact.
