- Along with the art director you will act as an ambassador for the art department and be involved in all editorial content meetings to ensure the wider team are updated of the design status of the pages when required.
- Liaise with the wider team in chasing content that might be required to ensure deadlines are met.

- You’ll be a natural and proactive problem solver.
- You’ll be methodical, agile and thrive in a fast-moving environment.
- Have the skills to think outside the box and solve problems, not just be an artworker.
