As a Senior Artwork Repro Specialist, you will be a technical anchor within our studio, producing complex, high-quality, production-ready artwork across print and digital channels. You will lead by example in the use of automated workflows and templates, ensuring absolute brand consistency and technical precision at scale. Working closely with our Design, Develop, and Technical teams, you will oversee the transition of complex assets, mentor team members, and ensure the studio maintains its edge in efficiency and quality control. Your day-to-day will involve:

• Producing complex, production-ready artwork files for print and digital channels to ensure flawless technical accuracy
• Leading the use of automated systems and templates to deliver high-volume artwork with maximum efficiency
• Overseeing the creation and maintenance of active brand system documents, templates, and brand asset libraries
• Performing advanced quality control checks to ensure all deliverables meet exact technical specifications
• Collaborating with Design and Develop teams to refine asset transitions through the studio and troubleshoot technical challenges
• Mentoring and guiding junior and mid-level specialists to elevate the technical standard of the team
• Maintaining consistent file quality across highly complex packaging formats, ranges, and variants
• Driving studio-wide adoption of automated workflows to increase production capacity

We're looking for someone who knows their stuff when it comes to print. You'll have a deep, technical understanding of the entire journey-from trapping and colour separations to managing ink coverage and minimum dots.

Beyond the technical, you'll need to be self-motivated with a genuine passion for what you do. We value clear, straightforward communication and the drive to keep pushing forward. If you're industrious, curious, and ready to earn trust every day, you'll fit right in. To be an ideal candidate, you will need:

• Five plus years of experience in packaging artwork production or creative operations
• Proven experience producing complex or high-volume artwork across multiple channels in high-pressure environments
• Extensive experience using automation, batch processing, or workflow systems to optimise delivery
• An expert understanding of artwork production, complex creative workflows, and print artwork standards
• Mastery of Adobe Creative Cloud tools, specifically Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop
• Exceptional attention to detail with a high-end quality orientation and the ability to execute complex briefs independently
• A strong track record of collaborating with design, development, technical, and automation teams
• Experience mentoring or guiding junior team members, as supporting your crew is essential
