The Role

This role will be to ensure every piece of work is accurate, compliant and meets the highest quality standards. You'll identify errors, flag inconsistencies and work closely with colleagues to ensure corrections are made before work is approved.

You'll also have the opportunity to support the wider creative team with presentation materials and design-related tasks, making this an ideal role for someone who enjoys working in a creative environment without needing to be a designer.
