Lead the coordination and oversight of multiple packaging artwork projects, guiding them from initial design concepts through to final print production for a prominent Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) client. This role demands a seasoned professional with over 10 years of experience in artwork management and a strong project management background. You will orchestrate cross-functional meetings to ensure alignment on priorities, optimize resource allocation, and drive efficiencies within the artwork management process.

Building robust relationships with diverse teams, including R&D, Sourcing, Supply, Design, and Operations, is key to successfully launching new products. The ideal candidate brings a demonstrable history of effectively managing artwork development and production lifecycles, ideally within the CPG sector or a comparable industry.

Spearhead multiple packaging artwork projects from concept to print. Serve as the central point of contact between internal departments (marketing, design, R&D, regulatory, supply chain) and external partners (agencies, printers, suppliers). Establish project agendas and clearly define cross-functional roles from initiation to closure. Foster consistent communication to maintain project alignment and ensure deliverables meet objectives. Utilize project management tools and spreadsheets to meticulously track project progress, milestones, and any deviations from the plan. Proactively identify and address risks, bottlenecks, or delays in the artwork development cycle. Prepare and disseminate regular project reports detailing progress, challenges, and proposed solutions to senior management and stakeholders. Streamline feedback processes to minimize iterations and maximize efficiency.

Possess a Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Project Management, or a related discipline. Demonstrate extensive experience in managing the complete artwork, printing, and digital asset creation process within a CPG environment. Accumulate over 10 years of dedicated experience in artwork management, packaging, or project management within the CPG or FMCG sectors. Exhibit a strong ability to manage numerous projects concurrently in a high-pressure, deadline-driven setting, collaborating across marketing, R&D, sourcing, design, external agencies, and operations. Proficiency with project management software such as Asana, Trello, Monday.com, or Jira is essential for effective task, deadline, and progress tracking. Familiarity with artwork and design software, including a basic understanding of Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), is advantageous for seamless communication with creative teams.
