Wanted: Remote Designer – Shopper Marketing Lay...

This is a remote position.

About the Role: We are seeking an expert Remote Designer with a proven track record in shopper marketing and in-store communication assets. The ideal candidate will specialise in high-impact, on-shelf layouts that drive attention and conversion—specifically end-of-aisle gondolas, shelf wobblers, and other shopper assets. You will collaborate with our marketing, merchandising, and packaging teams to translate brand guidelines into compelling, print-ready and digital-ready layouts that perform in-store.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design end-of-aisle gondolas, shelf wobblers, danglers, POP displays, and related shopper assets that align with brand guidelines and retail objectives.
  


• Create scalable, production-ready layouts suitable for print and digital channels, including dieline-ready files when required.
  


• Collaborate with merchandisers and brand managers to understand category, SKU assortment, price promotions, and seasonal campaigns.
  


• Develop concept boards, layout mock-ups, and polished final deliverables with attention to typography, color, imagery, and hierarchy.
  


• Ensure assets are optimised for printing specifications, colour management (CMYK/RGB), bleed, safe zones, and trim marks.
  


• Prepare and manage files for handoffs to printers, vendors, and internal production teams.
  


• Iterate based on feedback from stakeholders, with a strong emphasis on speed-to-delivery without sacrificing quality.
  


• Maintain a consistent design system and reusable template library for efficiency and future campaigns.
  


• Stay updated on retail design trends, dimensional constraints, and in-store experiential formats.
  

Required Qualifications:

• Demonstrable portfolio featuring shopper marketing layouts for in-store assets (end-of-aisle gondolas, shelf wobblers, POP displays, etc.).
  


• Proven experience with large-scale, print-ready production files and dielines.
  


• Proficiency in design tools (e.g., Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop). Experience with 3D or layout visualisation tools is a plus.
  


• Strong typography, grid systems, and visual hierarchy skills tailored to retail environments.
  


• Familiarity with color management, soft-proofing, and print production workflows.
  


• Ability to work autonomously in a remote setting, manage timelines, and communicate clearly.
  


• Attention to detail, quality, and consistency across assets and campaigns.
  


• Portfolio must include case studies or brief explanations of the business objectives, constraints, and outcomes of each project.
  

Nice-to-Haves:

• Experience with shelf-ready packaging (SRP) and dieline packaging files.
  


• Knowledge of retailer specifications and guidelines (e.g., major national or regional retailers you’ve designed for).
  


• Basic motion or digital asset adaptation for in-store digital screens.
  


• Familiarity with brand systems and design tokens for shopper marketing.
  

Requirements

Deliverables:

• Desktop and print-ready layout files for selected concepts (AI/INDD/PSD or equivalents) with linked assets.
  


• Production-ready dielines, color profiles, and export packs.
  


• A concise design rationale and notes for each asset.
  


• Versioned asset library for reusability across campaigns.
  

How to Apply:

• Submit a portfolio link (dribbble/Behance/Personal site) showcasing shopper asset layouts (end-of-aisle gondolas, shelf wobblers, POP displays, etc.).
  


• Include brief case studies or project summaries that highlight objectives, constraints, outcomes, and your specific contributions.
  


• State your availability, typical turnaround times, and preferred communication channels.
  


• Include your proposed approach to a sample brief (optional) and any relevant references or testimonials.
  

Evaluation Criteria:

• Relevance and depth of portfolio in shopper marketing layouts.
  


• Production proficiency (dielines, print specs, colour management).
  


• Visual storytelling and ability to drive shopper engagement through layout.
  


• Remote collaboration readiness and communication clarity.
  


• Reliability with meeting deadlines and delivering reusable design templates.
