About Aura Global
Aura Global, part of Sun Chemical, is a creative packaging business working with some of the world's leading retailers and consumer brands. Combining creative thinking, technology, and insight, we create packaging that helps brands stand out and connect with consumers.
About the role
Joining Aura Global is an opportunity to take the next step in your creative career. You'll become part of a busy, collaborative studio where ideas are shared openly, questions are encouraged, and every project is an opportunity to learn.
Working alongside experienced Design Directors and Senior Designers, you'll contribute to a wide range of FMCG packaging and branding projects, with food at the heart of much of what we do.
You'll be involved from the beginning of a project, developing ideas and creative routes through to finished design. Whether you're working on a live brief, supporting a pitch, or contributing to an internal creative session, you'll have the opportunity to make your voice heard.
What you'll be doing
- Developing creative concepts across FMCG packaging and branding projects.
- Contributing ideas from the early stages of a brief through to finished design.
- Balancing creative thinking with commercial understanding and the needs of the brand, retailer, and consumer.
- Working collaboratively with Client Services and specialist teams across photography, artwork, and production.
- Developing your understanding of the FMCG design process, including print and production.
- Working with our in-house photography studio and learning how food photography can strengthen packaging concepts and create appetite appeal.
- Presenting your ideas and explaining your creative thinking to colleagues and clients.
- Using Adobe Creative Cloud, including Adobe Firefly, as part of your everyday creative workflow.
- Keeping curious about packaging, retail, shopper behavior, typography, materials, and changing consumer trends.

How we work
We believe some of the best creative thinking happens when we're together, and some needs space to focus.
