Senior Graphic Designer · Onsite, Bengaluru

Role: Senior Graphic Designer

Location: Client location, Sadashivanagar, Bengaluru

Employer: Squadra Media Private Limited

Experience: 4+ years

Type: Full-time · Onsite · Work from office

Squadra Media is looking for a Senior Graphic Designer to join a dedicated on-site team for one of our retail and lifestyle clients in Bengaluru. You will own the visual output of the account, working under the Creative Director across everything the brand puts out.

This is a broad design role. Social creatives and banners sit alongside packaging, box design, menus and motion. We need someone who has genuinely done all of it, not a social designer who has seen a dieline once.

01 Eligibility Criteria

These are firm requirements. We are looking for someone who meets all of them, not most of them.

- Experience: Minimum four (4) years of hands-on graphic design experience, ideally including agency or in-house brand work.
- Social media creatives: Prior experience designing social-first creative, covering static posts, carousels, stories and reel covers, at volume and to a calendar.
- Banners: Experience designing banners across digital placements and on-ground formats, including resizing and adaptation across sizes without losing the design.
- Menu design: Prior experience designing menus, covering layout, information hierarchy, typography at small sizes and print-ready output.
- Packaging and box design: Mandatory. Prior hands-on experience in packaging and box design, including working with dielines, print specifications and vendor requirements. Your portfolio must show this work.
- Motion graphics: Working knowledge of motion graphics is required. You should be able to take a static design into simple, well-executed motion for social.
- Tools: Strong working proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop,



plus Premiere Pro or After Effects. All three are required for this role.
- Portfolio: A portfolio is mandatory with the application, and must include social creatives, packaging or box work, and at least one piece of motion. Applications without a portfolio will not be reviewed.
- Craft fundamentals: Genuine command of typography, layout, grid, colour and composition. This is the part we look at hardest.
- Print production: Practical understanding of print requirements, covering bleed, CMYK, dielines, finishes and file preparation for vendors.
- Speed with control: Ability to work at agency pace across a high volume of deliverables without quality dropping.
- Work arrangement: Willing and able to work full-time from the client location in Sadashivanagar, Bengaluru. This role has no work-from-home option.
- Language: Fluent written and spoken English.

02 Good to Have

- Performance marketing creatives. Experience building creative for paid campaigns, and an understanding of what makes an ad work rather than just look good, is a transparent plus.
- Experience with F&B;, retail, lifestyle or D2C brands.
- Illustration, hand-lettering or a distinctive personal visual style.
- 3D or product visualisation for packaging mockups.
- Photography or retouching skills.
- Point-of-sale, signage and in-store collateral experience.
- Experience working on-site or embedded within a client team.

03 What You’ll Do

3.1 Social & Digital Design





- Design social-first creative across formats, covering static posts, carousels, stories, reel covers and thumbnails.
- Produce campaign creatives, product-led designs, festive and occasion content, and promotional assets.
- Design banners across digital placements, and adapt them across sizes without losing the design intent.
- Work to the approved content calendar and turn briefs around within agreed timelines.

3.2 Packaging, Menus & Print

- Design packaging and boxes, working from dielines through to print-ready artwork.
- Coordinate with print vendors on specifications, materials, finishes and proofs.
- Design and update menus, including seasonal and product changes.
- Produce in-store, point-of-sale and on-ground collateral as required.
- Check every print file before release, covering bleed, colour, dielines and specifications.

3.3 Motion Graphics

- Take static designs into simple motion for social, covering text animation, transitions and product reveals.
- Support the Video Editor with design assets, titles, lower thirds and graphic elements.
- Maintain a consistent motion language in line with the brand’s visual identity.

3.4 Craft, Systems & Direction

- Work within the brand’s visual language across typography, colour, grid, imagery and treatment.
- Take art direction from the Creative Director and turn it into finished design without needing it reexplained.
- Build and maintain templates, design systems and reusable components for the account.
- Hold quality and brand consistency across every asset that leaves the team, however small.
- Keep files organized, named and versioned so anyone on the team can pick them up.
- Set design standards on the account and raise the level of the work around you.
