To Thrive at The Distillery, you’ll need

A High-Energy Drive

We operate in a fast-paced, high-standard environment. Under tight deadlines, our projects demand precision the first time around, and this may not be for everyone. As a boutique studio, our sustainability relies on being the best at what we do. We need individuals who are highly-motivated and driven by an inner fire for creative success.

Resilience

The path to excellence is rarely a straight line. It’s also sometimes uncomfortable. We’re seeking colleagues who view challenges as opportunities to learn. Self-confidence and mental agility are key here—but you won’t do it alone. We’re a tight-knit team that always has each other’s backs.

Deep Rooted Passion

This is a niche craft. We aren’t looking for “interested” candidates; we’re looking for those who live and breathe print, stationery, and commercial craft. If your pulse fastens at the thought of tactile finishes and high-end publications, you’re in the right place.

The starting salary for this role is $55k–$75k, commensurate with your experience, skills, and responsibilities.

Beyond the initial role, a career at The Distillery offers a unique “choose-your-own-adventure” growth path, including:

Specialist Design: Event Stationery, Packaging, Brand Strategy

Artistry: Illustration, Hand-Lettering, and Mural Design.

Tactile Craft: Bespoke Printmaking, Creative Installation and Craft Manufacturing.

Strategic Leadership: Creative Direction, Project Management, and Team Leadership.
