About this job
<p>International Brands is a fast-growing Swiss company in the Personal Care / FMCG space. With our brands, we bring products into tens of thousands of retail locations worldwide, from drugstores and leading retail chains to e-commerce.</p>
<p>We build brands that work on shelf.</p>
<p>Not just on slides. Not just on Instagram.</p>
<p>Fast. Visible. Tangible. Scalable.</p>
<p>We develop and scale brands that combine design, product and performance without compromise and win exactly where it matters most: in the market.</p>
<p>More than 90,000 retail locations worldwide.</p>
<p>And we are nowhere near our limit.</p>
<p><strong>We are looking for an Art Director (100%).</strong></p>
<p>Not a traditional designer.</p>
<p>We are looking for the creative mind behind our entire brand powerhouse.</p>
<p>Someone with a deep understanding of FMCG design. Someone who knows what stops consumers at shelf, captures attention and drives sales.</p>
<p>Someone who takes ownership. From packaging and brand worlds to the smallest details that ultimately make the difference.</p>
<p>Someone who challenges existing ideas, wants to improve things and does not accept “the way it has always been done.”</p>
<p>This role is demanding, fast-paced and highly hands-on.</p>
<p>We are not looking for an administrator.</p>
<p>We are looking for a builder.</p>
<p>Someone who takes ownership, moves fast and executes with high quality.</p>
<p>Someone who wants to actively shape and grow brands. Not only conceptually, but all the way through to finished products in the market.</p>
<h2>Aufgaben</h2>
<p><strong>You own everything that moves our brands visually and creatively forward with a clear focus on FMCG performance in the market.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Develop and execute creative concepts across all brands with a focus on visibility, recognition and impact</li>
<li>Build, sharpen and continuously evolve strong brand worlds with a consistent visual identity</li>
<li>Challenge existing approaches and actively improve things instead of simply maintaining them</li>
<li>Design packaging with clear FMCG logic: attention-grabbing, brand-right and built to convert at shelf</li>
<li>Develop web, social and marketing assets focused on performance, not aesthetics alone</li>
<li>Turn ideas into reality quickly, pragmatically and efficiently without getting stuck in endless feedback loops</li>
<li>Actively leverage AI and modern tools to improve workflows, speed and creative output</li>
<li>Lead projects independently from idea to finished product in market</li>
<li>Manage freelancers and external partners with a high quality standard</li>
<li>Work closely with the Head of Brands and the broader team</li>
<li>Think beyond design with a holistic perspective from products and communication to the physical environment</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Turn design into products that sell. Turn creativity into performance.</strong></p>
<h2>Qualifikation</h2>
<ul>
<li>2–5+ years of experience in a creative role (Design, Art Direction or similar)</li>
<li>Strong portfolio with real FMCG or retail work and proven execution</li>
<li>Very strong Figma skills with experience in UI and web</li>
<li>Experience across packaging, social media, web and print</li>
<li>Deep understanding of FMCG design, retail and consumer behavior</li>
<li>You challenge things and constantly look for ways to improve them</li>
<li>You do not only think about aesthetics, but about impact, performance and results</li>
<li>You are independent, hands-on, fast and solution-oriented</li>
<li>You take initiative and actively drive projects forward</li>
<li>You take ownership instead of waiting for instructions</li>
<li>You use AI as a practical tool in your daily creative workflow</li>
<li>German & English</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What does not fit this role:</strong></p>
<p>Purely aesthetic thinking without understanding market dynamics, consumers and commercial impact</p>
<p>Creative profiles without genuine interest in FMCG, retail and market-driven design</p>
<p>Very rigid or overly process-driven ways of working</p>
<p>People who wait for instructions instead of taking ownership</p>
<p>People who love concepts but struggle with execution and speed</p>
<h2>Benefits</h2>
<p>Direct collaboration with the Head of Brands</p>
<p>Real impact on brands, products and their success in market</p>
<p>Fast decisions instead of endless alignment rounds</p>
<p>High ownership and the opportunity to truly build and shape things</p>
<p><strong>If you want to build something meaningful, this is the place.</strong></p>
<p>You will not simply design.</p>
<p>You will build brands.</p>
<p>You will develop products that get noticed.</p>
<p>Products that stop consumers at shelf.</p>
<p>Products that win.</p>
<p>Products that people buy.</p>
<p><strong>If you are someone who wants to create things that are not just beautiful, but successful, we should talk.</strong></p><p>Find <a href="https://www.arbeitnow.ch">Jobs in Switzerland</a> on Arbeitnow</a>
