About Us

Have you ever wondered why we rely on chemicals and artificial ingredients to maintain our body’s health? We have. After years of battling on-and-off tonsillitis, our founder Carly Stein finally found relief in an ingredient called propolis: a combination of tree and plant resin created by bees to protect the hive. We aren’t just creating cleaner alternatives to the traditional medicine cabinet; we’re creating all-around cleaner products. We merge modern science with natural medicine to prove that clean medicine can actually work. We believe that today’s most common health problems can be solved with better-for-you ingredients found in nature. We source the highest-quality ingredients, and we never water them down with artificial extras, unwanted ingredients or calories. We care about the world around us and the people in it. It’s what drives our entire brand.

About the Role

We are seeking a Packaging Designer to own packaging execution and contribute to creative exploration for Beekeeper's Naturals' growing product portfolio. While your primary focus will be transforming designs into flawless, print-ready files, you'll also contribute to design explorations for line extensions, seasonal editions, and new product launches.

This role blends production precision with creative problem-solving. You'll collaborate closely with our Creative Director and tight-knit creative team to explore packaging concepts, then bring them to life with technical accuracy.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a small, collaborative team at a mission-driven brand where your creative ideas are welcomed and your work shows up on shelves across North America. You'll refine your technical craft while flexing your design skills, all in a remote environment where we value both creative thinking and operational excellence. If you love the balance of designing, problem-solving, and perfecting files, you'll thrive here.
