Job Openings

Cedar Hill Homestead is a Tennessee-based apothecary and homestead brand rooted in herbalism, intentional living, and seasonal rhythms. We create handcrafted tinctures, skincare, and wellness products sold through our Shopify store, physical apothecary, and wholesale partnerships. Our community values depth over trends, quality over quantity, and connection over noise. We operate on a quarterly release cycle (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter) that drives everything from product launches to content strategy.

We are actively hiring for two roles on our team: Part-Time Graphic Designer and Marketing Manager

Part-Time Graphic Designer

Overview

Cedar Hill Homestead is a handcrafted apothecary and homestead brand based in Tennessee. We make tinctures, skincare, and wellness products by hand with herbs sourced from small farms, sell through our own eCommerce store and physical retail location, and partner with wholesale accounts across the region. Our visual identity is rooted in vintage ephemera, mid-century Americana typography, archival textures, and tactile storytelling — where every piece feels like it came from a family archive or a turn-of-the-century general store.

We're looking for a graphic designer who resonates with our visual language and can bring it to life across every brand touchpoint: social media, email, packaging, labels, print, and beyond.

This is a team role, not an isolated freelance gig. You'll be embedded in a small, tight-knit creative team that includes an Art Director/Photographer, a founder who is involved in all aspects of the creative process, and a Brand Manager who oversees marketing strategy. You'll receive structured briefs, collaborate closely through Monday.com, present your creative vision at quarterly planning meetings, and have real ownership over the visual direction of a brand that people care deeply about.

We operate on a seasonal release cycle with four major launches per year (spring, summer, fall, winter) and maintain a catalog of 50+ products. You'll work in two-week batches aligned with our content calendar, building consistency across every surface the brand touches.

What the Work Looks Like

Product Packaging Design and execute labels and packaging across multiple product lines (tinctures, skincare, hair care, bath & body). Adapt existing brand systems to new SKUs. Prepare production-ready files and manage packaging revisions. Maintain collection-specific typography and color systems per brand guidelines.

Digital Marketing Design assets for email campaigns built in Omnisend. Create social media graphics for Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest feed posts, carousels, and stories. Design web assets for Shopify as needed.

Print Marketing Create flyers, postcards, signage, and promotional materials for our physical retail location and events.

Seasonal Creative Direction Develop visual concepts, color palettes, and typography treatments for each seasonal release. Present graphics direction at quarterly planning meetings alongside the Art Director and founder. Pull visual references and build out the graphic identity for each campaign.

How We Work Together

We're a small team and we depend on each other. That means we need someone who shows up consistently, not someone squeezing us into late nights and weekends between other clients. We understand this is a part-time role, but we do expect dependable availability during the workweek.

This is a creative partnership, and we treat it that way. You'll have structured workflows, clear expectations, and a team that genuinely values the craft behind every label, graphic, and email.

What that looks like: At least 10 hours per week, available during business hours Monday through Thursday. You'll manage your own schedule within that window, but your teammates need to be able to reach you and count on your turnaround times. Briefs and feedback live in Monday.com. Communication happens in Slack. 

Growth Path

This starts as a contract role at 10–15 hours per week with a clear path to becoming our in-house designer. We'll begin with a defined scope and evaluate fit within the first 30 days. If you thrive with structured workflows, take ownership of your work, and bring creative energy to the table, this becomes a long-term home.

You're a strong fit if:

Have a portfolio that shows range across packaging, social, email, and print design. Gravitate toward vintage, folk art, hand-drawn, or ephemera-driven aesthetics. Understand how to design for eCommerce (knowing what makes someone stop scrolling matters). Can take a creative brief, run with it, and come back with work that's on-brand without needing extensive direction. Are comfortable working in batches and managing your own deadlines. Handle feedback directly and constructively. Have experience building emails in platforms like Omnisend, Klaviyo, or Mailchimp. Are proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop).

Bonus Points For

Experience with product packaging or label design specifically. Familiarity with Shopify or DTC brand environments. A genuine interest in herbalism, slow living, natural remedies, or homestead culture. Basic motion graphics or video editing skills.

Design Style

70s vintage · Appalachian folk art · Warm · Textured · Nostalgic Mid-century Americana typography · Archival textures · 1970s album art influence · Symmetrical, high-contrast compositions

Part-Time Marketing Manager

Overview

We have a brand that people love, a founder who formulates every product, and a creative team bringing the visual identity to life. What we need is the person who takes all of that creative firepower and turns it into a marketing engine that actually reaches people.


We’re looking for a Marketing Manager who lives and breathes this work. You’re chronically online in the best way. You know what’s trending before it peaks. You understand how brands build real communities across platforms, and you have strong opinions about what works and what doesn’t. You’re the person who sees a brand’s Instagram grid and immediately knows what they should be doing differently. You get excited about the intersection of e-commerce, in-store experience, and digital storytelling, and you understand how all of those channels feed each other.


This role is for someone who can walk into an established brand with a talented creative team and say, “I know exactly what to do with this.” You see the potential. You’re energized by it. You’re direct, you’re decisive, and you take charge. We have a team of incredibly talented people who are ready to be led—we need someone who can see what each team member is capable of and push us all to the next level.


You will own the content calendar, run the monthly marketing rhythm, and ensure content flows through all platforms on schedule. You’ll operate in two modes: Quarterly Planning (building the next season’s campaign strategy and creative direction) and Monthly Execution (reviewing, and distributing approved content across every channel). You’ll collaborate closely with our founder/creative director, brand manager, photographer/art director, and graphic designer within established workflows and tools.

Who You Are

  • You have your finger on the pulse. You know what’s happening across social platforms, you spot trends early, and you understand how brands actually grow online
  • You enjoy developing on-brand content. You understand brand voice and you can develop copy that stays on-brand across different platforms and formats. You know the difference between writing for an Instagram caption, an email subject line, and a product description, and you adjust accordingly
  • You’re passionate about marketing and you bring real energy to the work. This isn’t a box-checking role for you—this is what you do and what you’re great at
  • You’re direct and decisive. When you see what needs to happen, you say it clearly and you move. You don’t wait for permission to lead
  • You think like an omni-channel strategist. You understand how e-commerce, in-store presence, social media, email, and wholesale all connect, and you get excited about making those channels work together
  • You’re energized by working with a creative team. The idea of collaborating with an art director, a graphic designer, and a hands-on founder who pours into every product genuinely excites you
  • You want to see the direct results of your work. You thrive in an environment where your ideas actually get executed and you can measure the impact
  • You have a strong portfolio or track record that speaks for itself.
  • You take feedback constructively, ask smart clarifying questions, and communicate directly when something isn’t working.
  • You’re organized and reliable. You can manage multiple deadlines and platforms without dropping balls. You show up, follow through, and communicate proactively when plans change.
  • You have a genuine interest in or connection to wellness, herbalism, handmade products, or intentional living.

What You'll Own

  • Content strategy and calendar management across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest, and LinkedIn
  • Developing copy for social graphics in the Cedar Hill brand voice
  • Email and SMS marketing in Omnisend: writing copy, building campaigns, and owning performance
  • Cross-platform optimization: understanding what works where and why, and making smart decisions about how content travels between channels
  • Campaign strategy for quarterly seasonal product releases, from concept through post-launch analysis
  • Running the monthly marketing meeting and presenting campaign performance and strategic direction
  • Presenting creative direction and content strategy at quarterly planning meetings with the full team
  • Graphics review and approval alongside the Brand Manager
  • Collaborating with our art director on shot lists, content needs, and visual storytelling
  • Following up on content production and keeping the creative pipeline moving, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks
  • Trend research, competitor analysis, and platform intelligence that keeps CHH ahead of the curve
  • Omni-channel thinking: connecting the dots between our online presence, in-store experience, and wholesale partnerships

Tools You'll Use

Monday.com (task management), Later (social scheduling), Omnisend (email/SMS), Slack (communication), Lingo / Dropbox (digital asset management), Google Docs (content collaboration), and Claude AI (calendar planning, copy auditing, strategy). You don’t need experience with every tool, but you should pick up new platforms fast.

About Our Team

This is a brand with a loyal, engaged community, an intentional and broad product line, and a creative team that’s already producing high-quality work. We have documented workflows, quarterly planning systems, and operational playbooks ready for you. What’s been missing is a marketing leader who can take all of these assets and this talent and orchestrate them into something bigger. You’ll have real creative input, real ownership, and the resources to execute.
