Graphic Designer & Marketing Coordinator

Jadcup | Māngere, Auckland | Full-time

About Jadcup

Jadcup is a New Zealand manufacturer and supplier of food and beverage packaging.

Much of our work happens behind the scenes, but our products are used by a wide range of businesses and well-known brands across New Zealand.

About the role

Jadcup is looking for a practical, creative and detail-focused Graphic Designer & Marketing Coordinator to join our team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys seeing their design work become a real physical product, while also having the freedom to contribute ideas and help shape how a growing manufacturer presents itself to the market.

This role is primarily focused on graphic design, customer artwork and print production, with an opportunity to also bring fresh ideas into our marketing activities.

If you have a strong design foundation but also enjoy thinking about how products and brands should be presented and promoted, this role gives you plenty of room to contribute.

What you'll be doing

Preparing and adjusting customer artwork for production

Using Adobe Illustrator to work with packaging artwork, dielines and print-ready files

Checking artwork including layout, colours, text, logos, barcodes and product information

Preparing proofs and managing artwork approvals and version control

Working closely with Sales, Production, Procurement, QA and suppliers

Supporting new product development, samples and product launches

Creating brochures, product sheets, presentations and promotional materials

Helping develop marketing content such as email campaigns, promotional graphics, new product launches and social media content

Taking product and marketing photos for social media, promotional materials and customer presentations

Creating practical photo, video and visual content to showcase Jadcup’s products and manufacturing capabilities

Supporting customer-facing activities when required, including customer visits, product presentations, events and marketing projects

Using AI and digital tools to improve the efficiency and quality of design, content creation, marketing materials and day-to-day work

Bringing ideas on how Jadcup can better present its products, capabilities and brand to customers

What we're looking for

Strong Adobe Illustrator skills are essential for this position.

You will ideally have:

Fluent Mandarin Chinese and English communication skills are required

Strong Adobe Illustrator skills and good knowledge of Photoshop and/or InDesign

A qualification in Graphic Design, Digital Design or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Strong layout and print artwork skills

Excellent attention to detail

Strong communication skills and confidence interacting with customers and internal teams

An interest in marketing, branding and product promotion

Confidence taking practical product, workplace and promotional photos

Confidence using AI and modern digital tools, with an interest in finding smarter and more efficient ways of working

Confidence bringing forward new ideas and turning them into practical content

Experience in packaging, printing, prepress, labels or manufacturing would be an advantage, but is not essential.

Fluent Mandarin Chinese is required for this role, as the position involves regular communication with Chinese-speaking suppliers and production partners.

We are open to capable graduates, junior designers and intermediate-level candidates. Experience matters, but your technical ability, portfolio, attention to detail and attitude matter more.

Design first, marketing second

This is not a traditional marketing-only position.

The core of the role is still design and production artwork, so strong technical design skills are important.

However, we also see an opportunity for the right person to help develop Jadcup's marketing presence. Whether that is creating an email campaign, promoting a new product, improving our social media content or finding better ways to present what we manufacture, we are looking for someone who has both design ability and a marketing mindset.

Please include a portfolio or examples of previous work with your application.

We are particularly interested in seeing:

Product catalogues and brochures

Layout and typography work

Print-ready artwork

Product or promotional materials

For this role, strong practical artwork and layout ability is just as important as creative design.
