Midweight Creative Artworker - Print Malmesbury, England
Job description
Summary
About us
Dyson is growing fast and our ambition is huge – more categories, more locations and more people. Our technology is unique and complex, so it’s up to us to explain it clearly. Working in-house, directly with engineers and the broader business, we create inspirational communications that showcase our technology. Our Studio Team is growing and is responsible for quality and delivery across a range of channels, online and offline, incorporating more channels and expanding its remit.
We're committed to our campus culture and don’t look to offer a regular hybrid working arrangement. This helps us to achieve the spirit of Dyson – collaboration, creativity, and inventiveness – in our inspiring, social, and dynamic workspaces.
About the role
Working as part of the Studio Team, collaborating with the other artworkers, you will be taking design concepts from our creative development teams and preparing them for print. This may involve reworking or fixing the design, including colours, typography, placements, and any inconsistencies. Working across various print platforms, including large format, leaflets and brochures, print, and out-of-home, among others.
A good eye for detail is vital, as is a knack for noticing patterns to maintain consistency. You will be expected to deliver high quality work that is on brand, within the agreed time frames and cool under pressure.
You will be proactive in resolving any issues, escalating them as appropriate for support. You will be comfortable working on your own initiative and taking part in peer reviews, including the checking of set-up and pre-flights of assets, originally created by your colleagues, prior to delivery, to maintain high standards.
