- Technical Artwork & Production: Prepare print ready artwork to supplier specifications, review printer proofs and manage amendments through to final approval. Coordinate packaging requests, liaise with stakeholders and maintain workflow trackers to ensure timely delivery.
- Quality & Compliance: Check mandatory product information, including barcodes, care details, fibre content, country of origin and recycling labelling, ensuring accuracy before artwork is released.
- Product Lookbooks: Support the creation and quarterly updates of product lookbooks for retail teams, coordinating imagery, product codes, pricing and range information.
- Graphic Design Support: Assist with the development and adaptation of brand marketing assets across social, digital, EDM, in store and campaign channels.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with Marketing, Brand, Design, Merchandise, Buying and Retail teams to coordinate briefs, feedback and artwork approvals.
- File & Asset Management: Maintain organised design files, templates and brand assets, ensuring consistent naming conventions, version control and archiving.
- Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve templates, workflows and file management processes while staying across emerging design tools and technologies.
What You’ll Bring
- A Degree or Diploma in Graphic Design, Visual Communication or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.
- 1–2 years' experience in a graphic design or finished art role, ideally within an in-house or agency environment.
- Advanced proficiency in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.

- Experience preparing and supplying print ready files to printers and suppliers.
- Proficiency in Adobe Acrobat Pro, including preflight and output checks.
- Strong technical file management skills, including naming conventions, version control, linking and archiving.
- Excellent attention to detail, with a methodical approach to checking and proofing your own work.
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
