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.
We build brands that work on shelf.
Not just on slides. Not just on Instagram.
Fast. Visible. Tangible. Scalable.
We develop and scale brands that combine design, product and performance without compromise and win exactly where it matters most: in the market.
More than 90,000 retail locations worldwide.
And we are nowhere near our limit.
We are looking for an Art Director (100%).
Not a traditional designer.
We are looking for the creative mind behind our entire brand powerhouse.
Someone with a deep understanding of FMCG design. Someone who knows what stops consumers at shelf, captures attention and drives sales.
Someone who takes ownership. From packaging and brand worlds to the smallest details that ultimately make the difference.
Someone who challenges existing ideas, wants to improve things and does not accept “the way it has always been done.”
This role is demanding, fast-paced and highly hands-on.
We are not looking for an administrator.
We are looking for a builder.
Someone who takes ownership, moves fast and executes with high quality.
Someone who wants to actively shape and grow brands. Not only conceptually, but all the way through to finished products in the market.
