    Artwork Project ManagerLeading Edge Labels & Packaging
    Gravesend, United KingdomFull Time
    Originally joining in administration, over the last 14 years I have progressed to Artwork Project Management. Working alongside global FMCG agencies, artwork houses & retailers I am responsible for the project management of retail & global accounts. I work closely with clients to guide & achieve launch dates. I will take briefs from the client & book these into the studio for artwork to be produced. It is my responsibility to ensure the correct artwork references and master templates are used while monitoring the client’s budgets including size planning for minimal material waste. For large print runs or re-designs, I will create critical paths & share these with the client/internal teams involved. I will also create trackers to monitor the progress of artworks towards the print/launch date(s). I can be managing several accounts at different stages at any one time, so it is vital I am organized. The artwork side of my role involves quality assurance of the artworks produced. Using guidelines or internal master templates, it is my responsibility to check the artworks created meet both brand & legal requirements as well as general checks including spelling, tolerances & barcodes. Other tasks include ordering cutters/tooling & producing monthly studio team KPI’s. Yearly I will assist the technical director with ISO/BRC inspections where I write new or update existing procedures as well as updating specification manuals if required
