In-House Industrial Product Designer (Mid–Senior)

Location: Australia or similar time zone (Remote, with occasional travel for prototypes, suppliers, or team sessions)

Employment Type: Full time, permanent

TL;DR

We are looking for an industrial designer who can take ownership of the physical products that define Good Pair Days.

You will design and help bring to life our welcome offer products and rewards, from iconic items like our Cheeseboard Cooler through to a growing range of loyalty rewards and lifestyle products. Over time, you will help build a distinctive rewards product range and brand that customers genuinely value.

This is a hands on role for someone who wants to design real products efficiently and see them out in the world.

Who We Are

Good Pair Days exists to make wine more enjoyable and less intimidating. We believe wine should feel confident, generous, and fun.

We build products people genuinely love, from personalised wine subscriptions to real world experiences. A core part of that experience is the physical rewards and welcome products we give our customers, the things they keep, reuse, and associate with Good Pair Days.

We are a small team by design. We value taste, practicality, and execution. We believe great designers who understand production and efficient ways of working can have outsized impact.

About the Role

This is a mid-senior, end to end industrial design role with real ownership.

You will be part of a cross-functional procurement, marketing, and brand team, working closely with marketing and brand to design products that support our offers, rewards strategy, and customer experience.

Your primary focus will be the design of welcome offer products and rewards. This includes hero welcome items, loyalty rewards, and the development of a cohesive rewards product range that feels unmistakably Good Pair Days.

In addition, you will contribute to packaging design, both for rewards and for core Good Pair Days packaging such as our subscription boxes, ensuring everything feels considered, practical, and on brand.

This is not a purely conceptual role. You will be expected to think about materials, manufacturing, costs, logistics, and durability, and to work directly with suppliers to get things made properly.

We care about efficiency. You will be encouraged to use modern design, collaboration, and AI tools to reduce admin, move faster, and spend more time designing and less time managing process.

You do not need wine industry experience. You do need strong taste, practical thinking, and a desire to help build a rewards led wine and lifestyle product brand.

What You’ll Do

Welcome Offer and Hero Reward Products

• Design new welcome offer products that create strong first impressions
• Build on the success of products like our Cheeseboard Cooler to create future hero rewards
• Explore innovative and functional wine tools alongside lifestyle products such as picnic gear, bags, and accessories
• Balance creativity with function, durability, and cost

Rewards Range and Loyalty Products

• Lead the design of our ongoing rewards range for loyalty and promotions
• Build a coherent, recognisable rewards product range over time
• Design rewards customers genuinely want to earn, keep, and use
• Help define what a Good Pair Days reward looks and feels like

Packaging Design

• Design packaging for rewards and welcome products
• Contribute to the evolution of core Good Pair Days packaging, including subscription boxes
• Ensure packaging is practical, distinctive, and aligned with the brand
• Consider reuse, durability, sustainability, and shipping efficiency

End to End Product Development

• Take products from sketch to CAD to production ready files
• Select materials, finishes, colours, and construction methods
• Work directly with suppliers and manufacturers as part of the procurement process
• Prototype, test, and iterate before launch
• Consider manufacturing, logistics, storage, and cost in every design decision

Collaboration and Ways of Working

• Work closely with marketing and brand to ensure rewards support offers and campaigns
• Partner with procurement and operations to ensure designs are scalable and commercially viable
• Use modern tools and workflows to reduce admin, speed up iteration, and improve clarity
• Support product photography, content, and launch assets where needed
• Bring strong opinions, taste, and ideas to cross-functional discussions

Who You Are

• A mid–senior industrial designer with experience designing physical consumer products
• Comfortable owning reward or product ranges, not just one off items
• Confident working with manufacturers, suppliers, and cross-functional teams
• Strong taste and attention to detail
• Practical, curious, and solutions focused
• Comfortable using modern tools to work efficiently
• Excited by designing both functional wine tools and lifestyle reward products

This Role Is Not For You If

• You only want to work on concepts or renders
• You prefer handing designs off without thinking about production
• You are not interested in materials, costs, or manufacturing constraints
• You want a very narrow role without ownership of a product range
• You prefer slow timelines, heavy process, or lots of admin

Why Join Good Pair Days

• The chance to build a distinctive rewards led wine and lifestyle product brand
• Ownership over welcome offer products and the full rewards range
• A small team where design, marketing, and procurement work closely together
• Freedom to experiment, iterate, and improve
• Competitive compensation aligned to experience and impact
