• Support the coordination of packaging translations and approvals with local markets and relevant stakeholders.
• Monitor project budgets and help ensure efficient use of resources.
• Identify potential delays or issues and communicate them proactively to the relevant teams.

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of previous experience in packaging artwork, graphic production, pre-press, or project coordination, ideally within an agency or FMCG environment.

• Good written and spoken English, with the confidence to communicate with international teams.
• Spanish proficiency; French would be an advantage.

Why Join Us?
