Job Description

THE ROLE

As  Design Lead , you’ll be at the forefront of shaping and elevating our visual identity across every touchpoint — from packaging and campaigns to digital content and in-store experiences. You’ll lead and mentor our design team, set the creative vision, and collaborate with multiple teams to bring bold ideas to life. If you’re passionate about blending great design with great food and culture, this role is for you.

You’ll work closely with sales, retail, and marketing teams, and report directly to the Associate Creative Director. This is a full-time, on-ground role based out of Mumbai, with occasional travel to outlets as required.

We craft unforgettable food and beverage experiences that celebrate creativity, culture, and community.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Lead, inspire, and guide the design team to deliver impactful, brand-aligned creative work.

Develop moodboards, visual styles, and concepts for product launches, campaigns, and seasonal projects.
