Lloyd Recruitment Services is excited to be partnering with an award-winning manufacturer, in their search for a Design Lead.


This is a standout opportunity to head up an established in-house design team, drive creative strategy, and contribute at board level.

  • Ensure brand, packaging, and visual standards are met with precision

  • Spot market trends and materials to keep products fresh and competitive

  • Collaborate with senior leadership to shape product development and creative direction


What We're Looking For:



  • Proven experience in a senior design role within FMCG or a related sector

  • Strong team management background—agency or in-house

  • Experience working with major UK retailers, from concept to shelf

  • Expert in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)

  • Proficiency in 3D rendering software is highly desirable

  • Solid understanding of packaging production, cutter guides, and compliance

  • A commercial mindset with excellent communication and stakeholder skills

  • Organised, detail-focused, and confident juggling multiple projects

  • Must be driver due to location


Benefits:



  • Free on-site parking

  • Monday–Friday working hours

  • Excellent progression opportunities


Why Join?



  • Join a growing, award-winning home goods manufacturer with strong UK and international retail relationships

  • Influence high-level creative decisions and help shape the future of the brand

  • Be part of a supportive, forward-thinking team with real opportunities for progression
