Design Director

  About Lume and Mando Founded in 2017, Lume is a transformative personal care brand on a mission to normalize body odor beyond pits and provide people with outrageously effective solutions so they don’t have to think twice about odor. We are pioneers of the whole body deodorant category, with a portfolio of odor-blocking products including anti-perspirants, aluminum-free deodorants, body washes, body creams, cleansing bars and laundry sprays. Lume products are OB/GYN developed, made with skin-safe ingredients that are gentle enough for the most sensitive parts and often referred to as “life-changing” by our customers. In late 2022, we launched a men’s line called Mando, bringing our expertise to the men’s personal care category. From whole body deodorants to body washes, our product offerings arm men with the confidence to show up as their best selves as they move about their busy day. Lume and Mando are part of Mammoth Brands, the modern CPG company behind category-leading brands Harry’s, Flamingo, Lume, Mando, and Coterie. Driven by a mission to “Create Things People Like More,”  the company is creating a new model—and home—for brands, founders, and talent looking to solve unmet needs, improve peoples’ lives and ultimately change the status quo. Even as we grow, we take extra care to maintain the small, scrappy, entrepreneurial culture that helped to get us where we are today: a company that people like more, that better serves its customers, employees, and community. Mammoth Brands is committed to making a positive impact and donated over $20 million through our network of nonprofit partners to date.

About the Team

The Creative team at Lumē and Mando is small, ambitious, and building something real. We work across both brands — two whole body deodorants that do something the rest of the industry doesn’t: stop the bacteria that causes B.O. anywhere on the body. It’s a genuinely better product solving a problem people have always been too embarrassed to talk about. Our job is to change that. We make campaigns, content, packaging, and activations that help people understand why these products are different — and why they should care. We’re in the middle of a major brand transformation, and the work we’re doing right now will define what these brands look and feel like for years to come.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Design Director who can own the visual language of both Lumē and Mando. This isn’t a role for someone who wants to delegate everything and disappear into meetings — we need someone with a strong point of view, real craft, and the ability to develop a team that’s still growing. The work spans packaging, digital, retail, and social across two brands with different audiences and different creative needs. That range is the job.

Neither brand is finished. Both have room to grow, tighten, and get more interesting — and we’re looking for someone who sees that as the opportunity, not the problem. If you’re drawn to building and evolving rather than maintaining what’s already there, this is the right role.

This is a player-coach position. The expectation is that you stay close enough to the work that your instincts stay sharp — directing the team and opening Illustrator yourself when something needs it.

A Day in the Life

No two days look the same, but here’s a taste of what this role actually feels like:

• Starting the morning with a packaging crit — giving structured, specific feedback on three rounds of Mando carton concepts before they go back to the designer for revisions.
• Jumping into a brief kickoff with the Brand and Marketing leads for Lumē’s next product launch, getting into the strategy early enough to shape the creative direction, not just respond to it.
• Spending an hour heads-down — opening Figma or Illustrator yourself — refining a key visual that isn’t quite landing yet, because sometimes the fastest way to unlock the team is to show them, not tell them.
• Walking a cross-functional partner through a new design system template you built, making sure they understand not just what the rules are but why — so they can make good decisions without you in the room.
• Running a 1:1 with a designer on your team, working through a growth goal you set together last month — not just checking in, but actively coaching them toward the next level.
• Reviewing a social asset batch to make sure brand standards are being applied correctly and consist…
