About Unreal
We are Unreal - a mission-based chocolate snack company that is changing the world by proving the foods we love most don’t have to be so bad for us. Unreal is altering the snacking landscape by reinventing America’s favorite confections we all loved ... until we realized what we were eating. We’ve removed all the artificial stuff; dyes, corn syrup, soy, preservatives, chemicals, GMO’s, and excess sugar to create chocolate snacks people can actually feel good about eating. And...the taste is Unreal!
Unreal products are available in over 25k locations nationwide, including Whole Foods, Costco, Walmart, Kroger, Publix, Target, and online at Thrive Market, Amazon and of course, unrealsnacks.com. And we are just getting started. Our aim is to be the global leader in better-for-you indulgent snacking. And it takes an Unreal team to make that happen!
Job Summary
We’re looking for a versatile Designer to join Unreal’s small but mighty Brand & Creative Development team. In this role, you’ll spend the majority of your time executing high-craft design work across both digital and print channels, with the remaining time dedicated to ideating and building out our brand expression.
