Job Description
Who We Are:
Ritual Zero Proof is the first US-based non-alcoholic spirit. We are the fastest-growing spirit alternative on and off-premise. We provide retailers and customers a simple and straightforward way to enjoy a cocktail, without the alcohol. Put simply, we are The Liquor Replacement.
We started Ritual not because we have anything against alcohol, but because we like to drink… just not all the time. Because we’re trying to be healthy. Or it’s a weeknight and we don’t want to be hungover in the morning. Or we’re training, doing a dry month, making a baby, or we’ve already had a few and don’t want to go overboard.
Like non-dairy milks and plant-based meats, consumers want alternatives to the products they love that deliver a familiar experience without all of the negative baggage. Ritual does the same for liquor. We’re the #1 brand in the fastest-growing category in spirits. And we’re just getting started.
What You Will Do:
We are seeking a Production Designer with at least 3 years of experience in CPG. Creative will revolve around high quality, competitive Off-Premise POS displays, On-Premise support, and trade marketing pieces.
