Key Responsibilities

• Studio Operations & Management: Assist with daily studio operations, including printing and forming UK‑made product samples. Support checks to ensure packaging meets relevant guidelines and certification requirements. Help implement artwork management systems such as Ziflow to improve workflow, approvals and file sharing. Maintain accurate project tracking and version control using systems like Ziflow and Asana. Review third‑party artwork for accuracy, consistency and print readiness.

Keep informed on traditional printing methods and new technologies. Continually learn about new design tools, processes and best practice.

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• Confident communicator across varied stakeholders.
• Comfortable with packaging/label design concepts and image editing.
• Knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (especially Illustrator).
• Understanding of digital, flexographic or offset printing is a bonus – not essential.
