Design Lead

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 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.
