Packaging & Product Artworker (6-Month FTC, Remote)
A fast-growing, profitable consumer brand group is looking for a Packaging & Product Artworker to join their Brand & Creative team on a 6-month fixed-term contract. This is a chance to own the technical artwork and production capability behind a rapidly expanding own-brand product range, working closely with the Lead Physical Product Designer.
Key Responsibilities
- Prepare print-ready artwork files from approved designs across packaging formats including boxes, sleeves, wraps, labels, tubes, tins, and tissue
- Extend established design systems to create new SKU variants and size derivatives, adapting existing designs to new formats without requiring designer input on each version
- Help codify design guidelines for product subcategories so variant creation is consistent, documented, and repeatable
- Manage artwork to supplier specifications: bleeds, colour profiles (CMYK/Pantone), dielines, and technical tolerances
- Liaise directly with print suppliers on technical queries, amends, and physical proof sign-off
- Maintain and organize the own-brand artwork library, including version control, file naming, and asset management
Reasons to use Rodeo

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Skills & Experience
- Strong designer who is equally comfortable artworking, not a purely executional artworker; you'll be trusted with creative input alongside solid technical output, not just told what to do
- Deep, hands-on print production expertise: CMYK and Pantone colour management, dielines, bleed, trap, and ink coverage
- Strong systems thinking: confident working within an existing design system and extending it, knowing when a variant can be run independently versus when it needs designer input
- Obsessive accuracy, the kind of person who catches an unlabelled spot colour or a font that hasn't been outlined
- Proven ability to manage a high volume of live files across multiple projects at pace
- Comfortable collaborating closely with designers, flagging creative or technical concerns early
- Actively uses AI-assisted tools and automated workflows for template generation, asset management, or variant creation
- Figma essential; broader Adobe Suite experience welcomed

- £40,000 FTE, pro-rated to approx. £32,000 for 4 days/week
