Quality Control & Approval

Workflow & Studio Support

• Support continuous improvement of studio processes and best practices
Press passes
• Attend occasional press passes to approve packaging colours in production as a representative of Team Creative (something we share between us)
  
  You'll be a meticulous and technically brilliant artworker with an exceptional eye for detail and craft. You'll have a deep understanding of print production, packaging, and digital artwork, ensuring everything that leaves the studio is beautifully executed to spec. You'll thrive in a fast-paced environment, working closely with designers, marketeers, product managers and our operations and technical teams. Calm under pressure, collaborative, and eagle-eyed - you'll be the guardian of quality, consistency and accuracy in our packaging world.
