• Beauty Industry Experience: You must have a background in beauty, skincare, or cosmetics. This is essential for understanding the specific aesthetic and regulatory nuances of the sector.
• Illustrator Mastery: You are a power-user of Adobe Illustrator, capable of building intricate die lines and managing multi-layered artwork files with ease.
• Regulatory Knowledge: A solid understanding of UK packaging legislation and labelling requirements for cosmetic and electronic goods.
• Technical Detail: Proven experience in managing barcodes and technical copy blocks to ensure 100% accuracy before going to print.
• Aesthetic Eye: A portfolio that showcases a refined, clean, and modern design sensibility suitable for a luxury brand.
• You are highly organised, proactive, and capable of managing multiple projects in a fast-paced "scale-up" environment.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunity to work with a dynamic team in a fast-paced environment.
• Career growth opportunities.

Package

• £35k Base Salary – per annum, based on the candidate’s experience and qualifications.
