Proven ability to work to tight production timelines

Experience managing budgets, costings and production schedules

Confident reading drawings and working with artwork files

You’ll be:

Hands-on and practical
Detail-driven and quality-focused

Passionate about creative production and brand experience
Positive, reliable and collaborative
