About Level Up Labs

Level Up Labs is developing beverage brands that bring together drinks, collectible packaging, and licensed entertainment artwork.

We are looking for a practical, detail-oriented graphic designer to help create logos, adapt supplied artwork for beverage cans, and produce everyday packaging and marketing materials.

This is primarily a hands-on design and production role—not a senior creative leadership position. Much of the work involves taking existing artwork, approved brand assets, and clear briefs and turning them into polished, accurately prepared designs. You should also be comfortable developing straightforward logos and supporting graphics when needed. Freehand illustration is a major plus but not a requirement. Your creativity and imagination are a must!

What You’ll Do

• Adapt licensed artwork for beverage packaging. Place and arrange supplied character artwork, logos, backgrounds, and other approved assets onto can templates and packaging layouts. Create versions for different flavors, products, and artwork variations. «Clean up» of any licensor supplied artworks DPI/resolution, line art touch up and or color balancing to suit your work product’s goals.

• Create logos and supporting brand graphics. Develop clean, practical designs for product names, promotional materials, and other company needs.

• Prepare mock-ups and production files. Create packaging visuals and approval PDFs, then prepare final artwork according to supplied printer or manufacturer specifications.

• Produce everyday marketing materials. Resize and adapt graphics for product listings, websites, social media, presentations, and simple print materials.

• Make revisions accurately. Incorporate feedback, follow licensor style guides, and preserve required artwork elements, copyright notices, and brand details.

• Keep design files organized. Maintain clearly named, editable working files, asset folders, and final exports so the team can easily identify the correct version.

• Use of any AI generated work product is not permitted.

What We’re Looking For

• Approximately 2−4 years of practical graphic design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating solid commercial work. The quality and relevance of your work matter more than an exact number of years.

• Confident working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.

• A good understanding of layout, typography, spacing, image quality, and basic print preparation, including working with supplied templates or dielines.

• Strong attention to detail, reliable communication, and the ability to follow a brief, manage revisions, and meet agreed deadlines.

• Working English sufficient to understand briefs and brand guidelines and communicate clearly with an international team. B2/Upper-Intermediate or higher.

Experience with packaging, labels, consumer products, or licensed entertainment artwork is a plus, but it is not essential if you have strong design fundamentals and can demonstrate accurate production work.

Who This Role Suits

You enjoy making designs look right and making sure the files are right, too. You are comfortable with both straightforward creative assignments and recurring production tasks, such as adapting artwork, updating text, creating product variations, and preparing exports. You are able to work with management and peers, easily accept constructive criticism as your work product is always subject to the ultimate author and or rights' holder’s approval.

You do not need to be a senior branding strategist or an original character illustrator. We are looking for someone who can work confidently with existing assets, exercise good visual judgment, and deliver clean, consistent results without needing step-by-step supervision.

An interest in anime, gaming, entertainment, or collectible products would be welcome, but is not required.
