As a Brand Assistant, you’ll play an incredibly important role in the product launch process. Working closely with several Buying Teams, you’ll work with a roster of agencies to create our own label packaging.
This involves managing the Critical Path of circa 200 project lines, through liaising with our supply base, internal departments, and external agencies. From writing strong design and artwork briefs, to reviewing the creative output, and presenting updates to our Buying Teams, you’ll effectively manage the total design to print process.
Obviously, you’ll need to be well organised and a good communicator, with an eye for detail and a creative flair. That may sound like a lot but, in return, you’ll enjoy the chance to put forward your ideas and influence our packaging processes. Being in the Brand Team is exciting, creative, and fun. You’ll love seeing the finished product on shelf in our stores.
