Job description

Suja Life was founded in 2012 with a shared dream to transform people's lives through mindful nutrition. To address the lack of clean, nutritious, and convenient beverages available, the founders created a line of organic cold-pressed juices made from the freshest and most powerful ingredients imaginable, in a form closest to the living plants they originated from. What began as a local cold-pressed juice delivery service on skateboards in SoCal, has since evolved into a nationwide leader in organic juices and wellness shots. Today, Suja Life boasts an expanding range of portfolio of brands, including Suja Organic, Vive Organic, and Slice.

Role Description :

Suja Life is seeking a Packaging and Production Designer with strong creative and technical expertise to bring our brands to life across packaging touchpoints.

You'll be responsible for ideating packaging concepts (across bottles, cans, cartons and labels) that align with brand identities across the Suja Life portfolio, as well as preparing accurate, print-ready files that meet production, sustainability and regulatory standards.
