Original job description

About the Company

Marks is a consumer experience agency creating engaging moments across the entire brand spectrum - from brand design and packaging to content and consumer connections. Rooted in a deep understanding of human behavior, we help brands win in an age of constant change.

We are a global, collaborative network of 1,900+ team members across 25+ studios and 20+ countries, partnering with some of the world’s most recognized brands to solve complex business challenges through design, strategy, and craft.

About the Team

This Packaging Design team operates within a retainer model, dedicated to one large-scale retail private-label client spanning food, beverage, health, beauty, and household categories. The work is high-volume, high-visibility, and system-driven. It requires deep fluency in packaging design systems, brand equities, production realities, and retail dynamics.

You’ll work within a multidisciplinary team of packaging designers, adaptive designers, production artists, copywriters, and CGI artists. Together, the team is responsible for evolving and activating a broad ecosystem of private-label brands across hundreds of SKUs, formats, and categories.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Adaptive Designer who combines exceptional design craft with technical precision and a deep understanding of packaging systems.

As a Senior Adaptive Designer, you'll play a critical role in bringing established brand identities and packaging systems to life across products, formats, and categories. You'll take ownership of complex adaptations, ensuring every execution is thoughtful, consistent, and beautifully crafted.

You understand that great adaptive design goes beyond following guidelines. It requires creative judgment, problem-solving, and the ability to recognize when a system needs to flex. You're confident navigating design challenges, resolving inconsistencies, and finding smart solutions that preserve the integrity of the brand.

You'll collaborate with creative leads, designers, and production specialists to deliver exceptional packaging work at scale. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, take pride in the details, and know how to balance creative quality with the realities of production and speed to market.

This position is hybrid based in Toronto.

What You'll Do

Adaptive Design & Brand Stewardship

Independently execute complex packaging adaptations across SKUs, formats, structures, and product categories.
Translate established brand systems and master designs into cohesive, high-quality packaging executions.
Protect brand equities while applying creative judgment to solve challenges that arise across different formats and applications.
Identify gaps or inconsistencies in design systems and recommend thoughtful solutions to creative leads.
Ensure every adaptation maintains the visual integrity, hierarchy, and craft of the original design intent.

Design Craft & Technical Excellence

Demonstrate exceptional attention to typography, layout, composition, color, and visual hierarchy.
Build accurate, organized, and technically sound design files that support efficient downstream production.
Work confidently with packaging dielines, structural constraints, copy requirements, and regulatory information.
Apply a strong understanding of print production, color management, substrates, finishes, and file preparation.
Anticipate and troubleshoot technical challenges before they become production issues.

Creative Problem-Solving & Systems Thinking

Think beyond individual executions to understand how design decisions impact the broader packaging portfolio.
Adapt established systems to new formats and applications that may not have been anticipated in the original guidelines.
Recognize when an adaptation requires creative exploration rather than a straightforward application of existing rules.
Collaborate with creative leads to refine master designs, improve scalability, and strengthen consistency.
Bring solutions - not just questions - when navigating ambiguous or challenging design assignments.

Collaboration & Ownership

Take ownership of assigned projects from initial adaptation through handoff to production.
Partner closely with Creative Directors, Team Leads, Project Managers, and Production Artists to ensure quality and timely delivery.
Communicate progress, challenges, and potential risks clearly and proactively.
Participate in creative reviews, offering thoughtful feedback and sharing technical expertise with teammates.
Support less experienced designers through knowledge sharing and informal mentorship.

Efficiency & Continuous Improvement

Identify opportunities to improve workflows, file structures, and adaptive design processes.
Leverage emerging tools and technologies, including AI-assisted workflows where appropriate, to improve efficiency and creative exploration.
Help maintain organized master files, design assets, and documentation that support consistency and scalability.
Balance speed, accuracy, and creative quality in a high-volume environment.

What Success Looks Like

You independently deliver complex adaptive design assignments with exceptional quality and accuracy.
Brand systems remain consistent and effective across diverse packaging formats and categories.
You proactively identify challenges and bring thoughtful solutions to the table.
Your files are organized, production-aware, and ready for seamless downstream execution.
Creative leads trust your judgment, reliability, and ability to take ownership of the work.
You contribute to a collaborative, efficient, and continuously improving team.

You Bring

5+ years of experience in packaging design, adaptive design, or a related discipline, ideally within a CPG or retail environment.
A strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional adaptive packaging design, technical execution, and systems thinking.
Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.
Strong understanding of packaging structures, dielines, print processes, color management, and production requirements.
Experience working with established brand guidelines and multi-SKU packaging portfolios.
Exceptional attention to detail, organization, and quality control.
Ability to independently manage multiple assignments and navigate shifting priorities.
Strong communication, collaboration, and creative problem-solving skills.
A proactive mindset and willingness to embrace new technologies and better ways of working.

The Ideal Person

Is a designer at heart, with a sharp eye for craft and an appreciation for the details.
Understands that adaptive design requires both technical expertise and creative intelligence.
Thinks in systems, recognizing how individual executions contribute to a larger brand experience.
Is resourceful, proactive, and confident solving design challenges independently.
Takes pride in delivering accurate, beautifully crafted work, even under tight timelines.
Brings curiosity, accountability, and a collaborative spirit to everything they do.
