What's the role?
We're looking for an experienced part-time, permanent Artworker / Graphic Designer who's able to work 2 to 5 full days a week or possibly part days. You'll be working closely with our sales team in a fast-paced environment, able to produce print-ready artwork quickly and accurately to tight deadlines while still adding some creative flair. You'll also assist with producing our marketing and social media collateral.
What kind of tasks will you complete?
* Follow customer briefs to produce creative print ready artwork for our huge range of products.
* Design and produce visual product packs.
* Produce images and short animations for our social media.
* Take product photographs for internal and marketing purposes.
* Make artwork ready for our in-house production department.
What skills do you need?
* We're PC based, and you'll need a high level of experience with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop experience with InDesign and the rest of the Adobe suite would be useful.
* An understanding of different print techniques, their technical requirements and limitations would be useful, as our broad product base means we cover most.
* Able to accurately interpret supplier artwork templates and product specifications in order to construct our own for use within the company.
* Excellent communication skills, in the English language (both verbal and written) and the confidence and ability to liaise with internal teams and external suppliers.
* Organised and methodical with impeccable attention to detail.
* Competent with Microsoft Office Outlook and Excel.
* Have oodles of creative flair, so able to make the most of any design regardless of the constraints and help push our own marketing in new directions.
We love our customers; can you make them happy?
* Can you produce graphics artwork that's to the highest standards for their orders?
* If they don't provide the best brief, can you make the best of it anyway?
* They often need things at short notice, so can you repeatedly turn artwork around quickly?
* It's great to have brand guidelines to work with but if they don't have them, can you adapt and confidently produce your own for us to use internally?
We have a great team, could you be a part of it and make a difference?
* Are you positive, enthusiastic, supportive and resourceful?
* Efficient and polite when speaking on the phone or writing emails?
* Always punctual and manage your own time responsibly and effectively?
