About Unreal

We're on a mission to unjunk the world, starting with our favorite food group: CHOCOLATE.

Our story began when two kids who loved candy got tired of being told they couldn't eat it. All their favorites were filled with artificial ingredients, excess sugar, and stuff they couldn't pronounce. Why did something that tasted so good have to be so bad for them? OR DID IT?

That question inspired our mission: to unjunk the world. Unreal was born, and it sparked a ripple of change. With real, simple ingredients, no artificial anything, way less sugar, and unbelievable taste, those kids proved that better was possible (and, well, better).

Today, we're shaking up an old-school industry, winning over a devoted fanbase, and showing up on more and more shelves every day.

Job Summary

We're looking for a versatile Designer to join Unreal's small but mighty Brand & Creative Development team. In this role, you'll spend the majority of your time executing high-craft design work across both digital and print channels, with the remaining time dedicated to ideating and building out our brand expression. You'll partner closely with our Lead Art Director to produce assets for everything from evergreen brand content to seasonal campaigns, event activations, merch, and collateral, and will collaborate with team members across Unreal's Commercial team. Your work will help strengthen and expand our design systems while ensuring every touchpoint reflects Unreal's bold, unforgettable brand.

The ideal candidate is a technically excellent designer with 4–6 years of experience, ideally including 2+ years on the brand side in CPG. You thrive in collaborative environments, adapt quickly, and bring equal enthusiasm for all types of projects. You understand the fundamentals of brand building beyond campaigns, and are comfortable juggling multiple deliverables with precision and attention to detail. Mastery of the Adobe Creative Suite and Figma is required, and motion design, event/activation design, or art direction skills are a plus. If you're low-ego, eager to learn, and excited to roll up your sleeves to help a growing brand make an outsized impact, we want to hear from you.

The Designer will be a vital member of the Unreal Brand & Creative Development team and report to the Lead Art Director.

What You'll Do

• Partner with the Lead Art Director to design high-quality digital and print assets across Unreal's brand ecosystem, including evergreen content, seasonal campaigns, events, activations, merch, and collateral.

• Translate Unreal's brand expression into visually compelling outputs that align with brand guidelines and resonate with target audiences.
• Collaborate with internal partners, external agencies, and freelancers to bring creative concepts to life across multiple channels.
• Balance multiple projects and deadlines at once, using Asana to track progress and keep deliverables on schedule.
• Contribute fresh ideas and creative problem-solving to help evolve Unreal's bold, disruptive brand expression.
