Turn design into production-ready packaging, right first time!
Our Innovation Product Development team brings new products to market with packaging that is on brand, technically correct, and compliant across our international markets. Are you the person who loves the detail behind great packaging and can keep designers, agencies, QA, Regulatory, suppliers and printers aligned while deadlines do not move? Then you will feel at home here!
At Rituals, packaging is part of the brand experience. As an Artwork Specialist, you take ownership of the packaging artwork process from design lock to final print proof. You make sure files are correct, consistent, compliant and ready for production without surprises at the printer. You will work closely with Innovation, Quality Regulatory, Sourcing, external agencies, suppliers and printers. You will manage several projects in parallel, spot risks early, such as timelines, technical constraints and legal text issues, and keep approvals moving.
