Artwork Production Specialist

As Artwork Production Specialist, you manage the artwork process from design lock to final print proof. You work closely with Product Development, Brand, Quality & Regulatory, Sourcing, external agencies, suppliers and printers to make sure every packaging file is technically correct, legally compliant and ready for production.

You are the person who understands the details behind packaging artwork: dielines, print specifications, colours, barcodes, overprint, bleed, legal copy, supplier requirements and approval rounds. You know how to speak the technical language of printers and agencies, while keeping internal stakeholders aligned when timelines are tight.

You will work across multiple packaging projects and categories in parallel. This can include artwork for boxes, labels, tubes, foams, sleeves, gift sets and other primary or secondary packaging formats. You spot risks early, collect and structure feedback, manage approval flows and make sure files do not come back from the printer with avoidable surprises.
