Brand Graphic Designer

COMPANY 🌱

RYZE was founded in 2019 by Andrée Werner and Rashad Hossain, out of a parents' basement, with a mission to change daily health, starting with the morning routine: a nutrient-dense mushroom coffee delivering clean energy, mental clarity, and immune support. Built on a Direct-to-Consumer foundation with a performance marketing engine, RYZE achieved hockey-stick growth and a community of over 1 million active subscribers.

DTC remains the foundation, but RYZE has expanded into mass retail, quickly becoming the #2 items in Target's overall coffee category and is now executing a multi-channel expansion, with a cross-category launch coming in early 2027. RYZE is uniquely positioned to redefine how people think about daily wellness.

We’re a lean, fast-moving, mission-driven team who believe daily rituals create the foundation for living your greatest life, and we’re just getting started!

WHAT YOU'LL DO 🎯

We need a versatile graphic designer who can flex across brand, packaging, and marketing. You’ll work closely with our Brand Creative team and collaborate across Brand Marketing, Operations, Regulatory, and Production — helping our visual identity and design come to life across every touchpoint.

You’re the designer who can go from a die-line spec to a presentation deck without missing a beat. You combine real technical chops with a genuine creative eye — comfortable with varnish layers and spot UV finishes as well as pulling together a compelling brand presentation. AI-assisted creative tools are already part of how you work.

Responsibilities will include:

Brand & Marketing Design

• Develop marketing assets, pitch decks, comps, presentation visuals, and other creative materials as needed.
• Ensure decks have a cohesive appearance — perfecting alignment, adapting existing brand assets, and elevating Marketing materials.
• Design and refresh brand materials such as inserts and pamphlets while adhering to brand guidelines.
• Help craft, execute, and enforce the brand visual identity across printed materials and digital assets.
• Contribute creative concepts for design exploration: mockups, graphics, layout directions, and concepts.

Packaging & Production

• Create and prepare print-ready packaging artwork files in Adobe Illustrator, including die-lines, production specifications, and finishing layers (varnish, spot UV, emboss/deboss, foil).
• Support packaging updates, revisions, and versioning across SKUs, keeping files accurate, clean, and current.
• Create and retouch photo-realistic imagery using Photoshop and generative AI tools.

Collaboration & Process

• Collaborate across Brand Creative, Brand Marketing, Production, Regulatory, and Operations — communicating clearly and keeping everyone moving.
• Use AI creative tools (NanoBanana, Firefly, and similar) to accelerate concepting and creative development.
• Maintain organized, well-structured working files that anyone on the team can pick up and navigate.
• Stay current on design and packaging trends and bring fresh visual references and perspective to the creative conversation.

PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

• Proven ability to design across formats: packaging, marketing decks, brand collateral, and digital assets.
• Strong experience designing for print production — die-lines, print processes, and production-ready file setup are second nature.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, especially Illustrator and Photoshop.
• Proficiency in Figma, Slack, Google Suite (Slides, Docs, Sheets), and Microsoft Office.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted creative and image-generation tools (NanoBanana, Firefly, etc.).
• A genuine creative eye for modern design trends, visual storytelling, and brand impact.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and timelines independently.
• Strong attention to detail and a near-obsessive approach to file organization.
• Clear, proactive communicator who keeps the right people informed without being asked.

Core Compentencies

• Packaging & production design — Creates accurate, complete, print-ready artwork files including die-lines, finishing specs, and color callouts. Vendors can work from the files without clarification.
• Brand & marketing design — Flexes from a packaging comp to a pitch deck without losing quality or consistency. Keeps the visual identity coherent across every format.
• AI-assisted creative — Uses tools like Firefly and NanoBanana as genuine workflow accelerators — not novelties. Knows when they help and when they don’t.
• Cross-functional collaboration — Keeps Regulatory, Production, Marketing, and Operations moving by communicating clearly and delivering without friction.
• File discipline — Maintains organized, version-controlled working files that anyone on the team can navigate. Never sends the wrong version.
• Design trend awareness — Brings fresh visual references and perspective to the creative conversation. Keeps the brand’s visual language current and competitive.
• Independent execution — Manages their own timeline, delivers without hand-holding, and flags blockers before they become problems.

WHAT WE OFFER 🌟

• Competitive compensation aligned with experience and market benchmarks.
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Paid time off and company-observed holidays.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
• A collaborative, inclusive, and supportive work environment.
• Access to tools, resources, and training to support success in the role.
