• Maintain strict quality standards to ensure production-ready delivery with minimal revisions

- Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with Creative teams to maintain brand integrity while optimizing files for production
• Collaborate with Marketing, Legal, and Regulatory to incorporate updates and approvals
• Communicate with print vendors to troubleshoot issues and ensure output meets quality expectations

-Organization & Process

• Maintain organized file structures, naming conventions, and asset libraries
• Support press checks as needed to ensure final output aligns with expectations

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of experience as a Production Artist, preferably within beauty, skincare, or CPG packaging

• Strong understanding of print production processes, materials, and finishes (foils, embossing, varnishes)
• Experience working with complex dielines and packaging structures
• Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
• Strong communication and collaboration skills

Preferred Experience

• Background in skincare or beauty packaging, including familiarity with INCI labeling and regulatory requirements
• Experience with global packaging adaptations and localization
• Knowledge of color matching systems (PMS) and print proofing processes

What Success Looks Like

• Packaging files are consistently accurate, organized, and production-ready
• Deliverables are executed flawlessly across all SKUs and formats
• You become a trusted partner to cross-functional teams
• Deadlines are met without compromising quality or brand standards
