The posting

【About the Role】

  • Own and manage the full-scope brand visual system for a specialty coffee brand —spanning VI, packaging, product visuals, marketing collateral, and social media.
  • Work closely with Brand Marketing to deliver high-quality visual content aligned with product launches, campaigns, and brand initiatives, building a premium, cohesive, and recognizable visual identity.

【Responsibilities】

  • Maintain and evolve the brand VI system — color, typography, layout, and visual language — and establish comprehensive brand usage guidelines. Lead full-suite visual production: campaign key visuals, seasonal marketing, new product posters, menu systems, packaging, merchandise, brand books, and in-store print materials.
  • Manage visual design across all digital channels — Xiaohongshu, WeChat, e-commerce listings, official announcements, event covers — ensuring a consistent look and feel across every touchpoint.
  • Collaborate upstream with marketing on product launches, brand collaborations, themed campaigns, and content calendars; deliver complete visual packages that drive conversion and brand visibility.
  • Build and maintain an asset library, template system, and design standards repository to standardize material reuse and improve team output speed and consistency.
  • Monitor aesthetic trends among top-tier specialty coffee brands; continuously refine the brand's visual language toward a younger, more elevated direction.
  • Review and QA graphic design deliverables; manage team scheduling, qualitystandards, and delivery timelines.

【Requirements】

  • Bachelor's degree or above in Visual Communication, Graphic Design, Art Design, or related field; 5+ years of full-scope brand visual design experience; 1+ year managing a team or design module.
  • Proven experience in chain brand VI development, full-cycle marketing visuals, and product packaging; demonstrable brand visual upgrade case studies.
  • Refined, restrained aesthetic sensibility that fits the minimal and premium tonality of specialty coffee; ability to consistently deliver polished, cohesive visual systems.
  • Proficient in Photoshop, Illustrator, and related tools; strong layout, color, and brand systems thinking.
  • Understands brand marketing logic; designs with communication goals, audience sensibility, and contextual needs in mind — not purely execution-focused.
  • Strong communicator with sharp requirement-reading skills; able to work efficiently with marketing teams and manage pressure during high-frequency product and campaign cycles.
  • Background in coffee, tea, new retail, or lifestyle brands is a plus

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
