Senior Own Brand Packaging & Product Designer in London

Hi, we’re Bloom & Wild. We don’t just send flowers. We help our customers to care wildly. Caring wildly is celebrating the little things we all do for each other every day. Not just the big occasions. It’s being there for the highs. Stepping up for the lows. We care wildly about people and our planet. Which is why we’re so proud to be a certified B Corp™ – committed to making long-term positive change for our community, and the world around us.

Founded in 2013, our mission back then was to make sending and receiving flowers the joy that it should be, by harnessing technology, brand and letterbox delivery. We announced £75 million Series D funding in 2021 and that same year acquired bloomon in The Netherlands and Bergamotte in France. Together, we’ve fulfilled and delivered over 20 million orders (and counting!), making us the largest direct to consumer flower business in Europe. Now home to a family of 3 beautiful brands, we’re driven by our vision to create the destination for making life a little more thoughtful and beautiful. And we won't stop at flowers and plants. Starting with the Bloom & Wild brand, we're expanding our gifting offering to other categories like cakes, candles and cocktails. This is all part of our ambition to build Europe's #1 direct to consumer gifting destination.

Within the brand & creative team we’re a vibrant and dynamic bunch of 15 creative thinkers across 3 disciplines: brand (including brand management, brand partnerships and social media), creative (including creative concepting, art direction and copywriting, production, physical product design, packaging and much more) and communications (consumer and corporate PR). We’re responsible for our global brand strategy and creative output and work with teams across the business in all markets to bring this to life.

We use customer insight and creative flair to build uplifting and innovative brand experiences for our customers and constantly challenge ourselves to do better. We collaborate closely with Research to inform our thinking, the Range and Business Development teams on designing our products and services, with the Germany team on plans that resonate in their local market and with our Digital Product and Design teams on our website and app. We’re passionate about who we are as a brand and how we show up creatively in the world - and we love seeing Bloom & Wild grow, so we work at a fast pace, pouring thought and care into everything we do.

What you’ll be doing: We're looking for an Own Brand Product Designer to join the Bloom & Wild Brand & Creative team. Reporting to the Lead Physical Product Designer, this role sits at the heart of our own-brand gifting proposition - designing the products and packaging that will define how Bloom & Wild shows up as a gifting brand beyond flowers. As we grow our own-brand multi-category range, we need a designer who can translate product briefs into beautifully considered, production-ready designs - and who instinctively understands that what we're designing is a recipient experience, not just a package. You'll work closely with the range and product team from brief through to production, originating design routes for new own-brand products across Fresh Baked, Food & Drink, Home & Pamper, and seasonal formats. You'll be a confident design originator: capable of creating from a blank page, working fluidly within an emerging design system, and knowing the difference between the two. This is a role for someone who is as comfortable with a print specification as they are with a graphics design direction decision - and who brings both precision and genuine creative flair to everything they make.

Responsibilities will include:

• Develop design routes for new own-brand products from brief to sign-off, across packaging formats including boxes, sleeves, tubes, wraps, tins, labels and more.
• Support the Lead Physical Product Designer in creating NPD visualisations and proposals for new own brand products and packaging.
• Collaborate with the creative and range teams from early development through to final production, ensuring design decisions are informed by format constraints, print processes, and material specifications.
• Work within and actively contribute to the own-brand design system - understanding how colour, illustration, typography, and material choices interact across the full range.
• Art direct illustration commissions within seasonal projects - briefing external illustrators clearly, reviewing work against brand standards, and integrating illustration into the wider design with confidence.
• Produce accurate, well-structured design files ready for artworking and production.
• Manage multiple projects at different stages simultaneously, with clear ownership of timelines, priorities, and delivery points.
• Support the Lead Physical Product Designer in developing and codifying the own-brand design system as the range scales.

You’ll love this role if you…

• Graphic sensibility: You have an exceptionally strong eye for colour, composition, and visual hierarchy - and the ability to create powerful graphic combinations across colour, typography, illustration, and form.
• Creative confidence: You can originate design routes from a blank page and work fluently within an existing system.
• Commercial savviness: You think about the recipient and the giver in every design decision, and you understand the relationship between categories of design and pricing.
• Design skills: You have great packaging and product design experience and understand the print and production process end to end.
• Collaboration: You're comfortable working closely with creative, range, and procurement teams - not just other designers.
• Pace and precision: You work with accuracy and speed under deadline pressure.
• Curiosity: You stay close to what's happening in packaging, gifting, and premium food and lifestyle - and you bring that knowledge into your work naturally.

Ideal hard skills (we’d love to see some of these):

• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop).
• Strong understanding of packaging die lines, cutter guides, and artwork preparation for print.
• Knowledge of print processes and finishes (e.g. litho, flexo, digital, foil blocking, embossing/debossing, varnishes).
• Experience working across a range of materials (e.g. paper stocks, card boards, tins, wrappers).
• Ability to create accurate mock-ups and prototypes, both physical and digital.
• Familiarity with supplier and manufacturer workflows, including pre-press requirements.
• Understanding of sustainable packaging principles (e.g. recyclability, material reduction).

These are some of the skills and experience we think will enable success in this role, but please don’t worry if you are missing some of these. We’re committed to building a team made up of different strengths, skills and experiences, so if you’re excited about our values, passionate about what you do and would like to join us in doing things more thoughtfully, we’d love to hear from you.
