* Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage critical paths and deadlines.
* An eye for design and detail, with knowledge of different materials and substrates.
* Experience of ethical sourcing and working with global suppliers.
* A balance of creativity and analytical thinking – blending insight with design to deliver stand-out products.
* Adobe Creative Suite experience (Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom) is desirable.
* A degree in design or marketing, plus food/gifting industry experience.
