- Product Lookbooks: Support the creation and quarterly updates of product lookbooks for retail teams, coordinating imagery, product codes, pricing and range information.
- Graphic Design Support: Assist with the development and adaptation of brand marketing assets across social, digital, EDM, in store and campaign channels.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with Marketing, Brand, Design, Merchandise, Buying and Retail teams to coordinate briefs, feedback and artwork approvals.
- File & Asset Management: Maintain organised design files, templates and brand assets, ensuring consistent naming conventions, version control and archiving.
- Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve templates, workflows and file management processes while staying across emerging design tools and technologies.
